Arctic - Greenland (Denmark)
Disko Bay Whale Safari
On the west coast of Greenland, Disko Bay is home to countless icebergs, rocky islands and glaciers. Our favourite way to explore this unique landscape is by Zodiac and on foot, so you can get close to the birds and ice fi elds in absolute tranquillity. Disko Bay’s rich waters attract narwhals, plus beluga, bowhead, minke and humpback whales, providing an exciting wildlife experience.
