Sail Disko Bay bowhead whale safari

10 Days

Starting and ending in Aasiat, this voyage examines the stunning West Greenland area of Disko Bay whose rich waters attract both seabirds and Greenland whales. These early season voyages might remain in the bay due to ice conditions. We look for long-tailed skua, turnstone and grey phalarope which breed on the tundra landscape dotted with turf dwellings against a backdrop of basalt cliffs. By mid-June the bowhead whales have left Disko Bay and we move on to pastures new.
