Does the Deep Sea day tour run year-round?
Yes! This Deep Sea day tour runs almost all year because Greenland’s waters are teeming with fish in every season. Whether it’s summer or winter, there’s always a good chance of reeling in an Arctic catch. However, weather and ice conditions can sometimes affect availability, especially in the coldest months.
Contact us to check availability for your preferred dates and explore the best fishing opportunities for each season!
Is there a chance of seeing whales while fishing?
Absolutely! Nuuk’s waters are home to a variety of marine life, including whales. While we’re focused on fishing, keep an eye out—you might spot humpback whales breaching, or gliding through the water, or even seals and seabirds nearby. Every trip is unique, and you never know what Arctic wildlife might make an appearance!
During the summer months (June–September), there’s a good chance of spotting whales while fishing. Humpback whales migrate to Nuuk’s waters during this time to feed, and it’s not uncommon to see them breaching or gliding past while we’re out at sea.
Outside the summer season, the chances of seeing whales are much lower, as most migrate to warmer waters. However, Greenland’s fjords are still full of wildlife! Keep an eye out for white-tailed eagles soaring above, seals bobbing in the water, and various Arctic seabirds flying past as we fish.
If whale watching is a priority, check out our dedicated whale safari tours for an even better chance of seeing them up close.
Will I get to keep the fish I catch on this Deep Sea fishing tour?
Yes, you’re welcome to keep your catch as long as you have a sustainable use for it. Many guests love taking home their fresh Arctic fish for a delicious meal. However, we embrace the catch and release principle to ensure sustainable fishing practices and release most if not all the fish we catch.
If you need tips on preparing your catch, our guides will be happy to share local cooking traditions!
