Excursion Glacier helicopter flight tour at Qaqortoq

This amazing trip takes you flying through the various landscapes of southern Greenland where you’ll get a birds-eye view of fiords, icebergs, local fishermen, farms, and small villages to see the characteristic and the special geography for yourself.

Eventually, we’ll reach an area with several calving glaciers in Qalerallit, where you’ll get a front row view of a massive ice wall that periodically calves huge ice chunks to the sea. The view both from the air and the ground also gives you a unique and unmistakable depiction of how the glaciers are doing, where you can see for yourself how far out the fiord the glacier reached just years and decades ago.

We’ll land directly on the glacier, where you can enjoy walking on the biggest ice cap in the northern hemisphere and have a drink of pristine, ancient water and ice cubes you chip out directly from the glacier. After your flight, follow your guide back to the pier or enjoy some free time in the town.
