A vast Arctic wilderness of icebergs, fjords, and once-in-a-lifetime adventures.
Few places on earth stop you in your tracks quite like Greenland. Miles of untouched tundra, not another person in sight – it’s the kind of scale that recalibrates everything. A luxury Greenland vacation with Black Tomato opens up Arctic adventures that most people never get beyond imagining: snowmobiling across frozen fjords, dog sledding with Inuit guides, tracking polar bears, and watching humpback whales breach in Disko Bay. Whether you’re chasing the northern lights or exploring glacier-carved landscapes under the midnight sun, every bespoke itinerary we build is shaped entirely around you. That includes access to remote hideaways like Ilimanaq Lodge – where cliffside cabins overlook the UNESCO Ilulissat Icefjord and whale watching becomes a perfectly reasonable thing to do before breakfast.
As ever, if you can’t see it here then we can still plan it for you.
Moody, sensitive and enormous, Greenland – with its seas of jagged ice, stately mountains, and desolate landscapes – is the ultimate destination for those who want to channel their inner explorer and get very Jack London with nature. Traverse this unimaginable land by snowmobile, take a hearty lunch on an iceberg, and summit unnamed mountains in search of the heart of Greenlandic culture.
Traversing this great, moody landscape is – undeniably – the fun part. From the shattered, black-grey spires of its mountains to the ghost villages and tumbled monoliths that scatter this landscape of ice and stone, join a private tour to experience everything from the isolated village of Ittoqqortoormiit to tracking polar bears across the ice.
Unsurprisingly, Greenland’s offering of hotels isn’t by any means ordinary. But that, for the adventurous among you, is its biggest calling card. Isolated villages, glacial boutique hotels, and mountainous lodges are the order of the day, including the panoramic views offered by the incomparable Ilimanaq Lodge – where you can literally watch whales pirouetting in the waters beneath you.
For those who want to do their honeymoon differently, Greenland is the obvious – albeit challenging – choice. Forget lounging in the sun and indulging yourself in silver service restaurants. This is all about pushing yourself, whether dining on a slab of iceberg or slowly, surely, tracking polar bears across the frigid ice. We don’t hold back on the comforts, but this is a far cry from faraway St. Tropez.
Nuuk
Greenland’s up-and-coming capital.
A chic hub just in the country’s southwest, here you’ll find a city full of gourmet seafood restaurants, avant-garde architecture, and edgy boutiques – as well as a heavy dose of Greenlandic culture. We’ll hook you up with a local guide who’ll take you on a private tour of the city, uncovering the history and culture of Nuuk, photographing the colourful buildings of Nuutoqaq, and sampling Nordic cuisine at one of our favorite restaurants, Nipisa.
Disko Bay
Quaint villages, glistening glaciers, and a mecca for whale watching.
Located on the west coast of Greenland, Disko Bay is a stunning region scattered with epic ice formations, which of course lends itself well to many Arctic adventures. The highlight? Ilimanaq Lodge. After a 30-minute boat transfer from Ilulissat, passing the UNESCO Ilulissat Icefjord en route, you’ll wind up at the chic cabins perched cliff-side on an Arctic Fjord. Boasting a wall-sized window for optimum bay-views and a private terrace for whale watching, intimate dining a la deux is just the icing on the cake.
Kangerlussuaq
A springboard to the second-largest ice sheet in the world.
Sitting at the end of a deep blue fjord, Kangerlussuaq town in western Greenland is home to just 508 people. And whilst it may seem like a stepping-stone for some travellers, there’s more than meets the eye. With 300 days of clear sky a year, Kangerlussuaq is one of the best spots in Greenland to see the Northern Lights, but it also paves the way to explore the vast Greenland Ice Cap. Covering almost 80% of the country’s surface and under constant review by scientists, our local guide Ivalu will take you hiking on top to explore the sheer scale of it.
Camp Kiattua, Greenland
Camp Saqqaq, Disko Bay
Ilimanaq Lodge, Disko Bay
Greenland offers profoundly different experiences depending on the season. Winter (December to March) brings dog sledding across frozen fjords, igloo building, snowmobiling across tundra, and the best conditions for seeing the northern lights — with near-total darkness providing the clearest Aurora displays. Summer (June to August) delivers the midnight sun, open waters for sailing and kayaking around icebergs, whale watching in Disko Bay, and dramatic hiking on ice-free coastal terrain. Spring (April to May) bridges both worlds — frozen landscapes still navigable by sled, but lengthening daylight. Most Black Tomato clients visit in winter for the expedition experience or summer for the wildlife and sailing. We build each itinerary around the experience you’re after.
Greenland is genuinely remote — it is one of the least densely populated places on earth, and that is precisely its appeal. Settlements are small, distances are vast, and the landscape is on a scale that is difficult to prepare for. Getting between locations typically involves small propeller aircraft or boat, not roads. The infrastructure is limited by design rather than neglect — this is a country that has not been overtaken by tourism, and Black Tomato’s access to local Inuit guides, remote camps, and boats means our clients experience Greenland at a depth that most visitors never reach. The comforts are real — Ilimanaq Lodge, Camp Saqqaq, and Camp Kiattua are exceptional — but this is an expedition as much as a vacation.
Greenland supports extraordinary wildlife. Disko Bay is one of the best places in the world to see humpback, minke, fin, blue, beluga, and orca whales — with sightings common from June through September. Polar bears roam the eastern coastline, particularly around Ittoqqortoormiit. Musk oxen, Arctic foxes, Arctic hares, and reindeer are encountered on tundra expeditions. The waters around the Ilulissat Icefjord attract narwhal. Seabirds — including little auks, gyrfalcons, and white-tailed eagles — are prolific across coastal areas. Black Tomato’s local guides know exactly where and when to look, which makes the difference between a sighting and a miss.
Greenland is an extraordinary honeymoon destination for couples who want something genuinely unlike anything they have experienced before. Watching humpback whales breach from the terrace of Ilimanaq Lodge at dusk, a private dog sled ride across frozen fjords, dining on an iceberg — these are not things that happen on conventional honeymoons. The level of seclusion is remarkable, and the lodges — particularly Ilimanaq — are intimate and beautifully appointed. Black Tomato designs Greenland honeymoons around the couple: some want the full expedition experience, others want a slower stay at Ilimanaq Lodge with guided excursions from there. Both work equally well.
A luxury Greenland vacation reflects the remoteness of the destination — flights, specialist guides, and exclusive camps are all part of what makes the experience possible. The cost depends on duration, the lodges and camps chosen, and the activities included. Speak to one of our Greenland specialists to discuss what’s possible for your trip.
