A three-day all-inclusive retreat hidden deep in Nuuk's Icefjord

From private cabins with panoramic fjord views, Camp Itivi offers an ultra-remote escape designed for those seeking both adventure and tranquility. Drifting icebergs pass beyond your terrace, your private chef prepares Greenlandic flavours sourced from the fjord, and a spa and sauna sit harmoniously in the wilderness.

With a fully flexible itinerary, boat charters, guided hikes, wellness, or simply stillness. You choose how to experience the Arctic at your own pace.

What our guests say

"Raw Arctic gave us absolutely amazing 10-days trip in Greenland. They’ve organised everything from the pick up at the airport through hunting, boat sailing, hiking, etc. They were also extremely helpful when our schedule got derailed because of unpredictable internal flights. They did it all with easiness, laughs, positive attitude and good energy. Special thanks to Isak and Salik for making this experience so flawless and unforgettable!"

"Meegwetch/Thank you for a great adventure, the best excursion I have ever had. Isak and Anita are very Knowledgeable, experienced and accommodating, shows how much they love what they do. They went above and beyond to get us to the airport to catch our flight since taxis can be challenging at times. If I ever go back to Nuuk, I will definitely use this company for excursions. "

June Trout

"Raw Arctic consistently delivers a top-class experience — I always look forward to heading out with them. The team consists of dedicated and energetic young people who create a fantastic atmosphere and a safe experience from start to finish. Service, professionalism, and safety are all at the highest level, which makes the tours truly special."

Morten Bro

Greenland

"We had two great private boat days with Raw Arctic in March. What were supposed to be windy and cloudy days turned out beautiful, sunny and calm. The scenery was something unique and absolutely awesome, breath taking. Icebergs, white mountains, old settlements, Northern Lights, cristal clear waters offered us experience of a lifetime. We even caught a nice sized cod when we did deep sea fishing. Thanks a lot Lucas, Kuluk and Martin! Well captained and great hospitality."

Itinerary for the Icefjord Retreat at Camp Itivi

A typical three-day rhythm at Camp Itivi, activities are tailored to your group, season, and the conditions of the fjord.

Request availability

Begin the retreat in town

On arrival, you'll be greeted by our team and transferred to your Nuuk hotel. Use the afternoon to rest before your departure into the fjord the following morning.

In the evening, an optional dinner and a short briefing introduce you to the camp, the fjord, and the activities available during your stay.

Private boat charter into the Icefjord

After breakfast, we depart Nuuk by closed Targa boat for the scenic transfer to Camp Itivi, deep inside the Icefjord. Drifting icebergs, towering cliffs, and Arctic silence set the tone.

On arrival, settle into your private cabin and meet your chef and host. The afternoon is yours, first walk on the land, sauna, or a short fjord cruise, depending on conditions.

Adventure or stillness, the choice is yours

The middle day is built around your group's wishes.

Meals are prepared by your private chef, highlighting Greenlandic flavours and ingredients sourced from the fjord.

One last activity, then back to town

The final morning at camp leaves room for one more activity, a short hike, a cruise past the icebergs, or a slow start with breakfast on the deck.

The boat ride back to Nuuk is a chance to reset before the city. On arrival, check into your hotel for a relaxed final evening.

Farewell to the Icefjord

After breakfast at the hotel, transfer to Nuuk Airport for your return flight. Depart with the deep quiet of the Icefjord still in your bones.

A retreat shaped around you

Camp Itivi sits deep in Nuuk's Icefjord, reached only by boat. The three days are built around what you want and what the fjord is doing that week, whether that means boat trips among the icebergs, a walk on the land, time in the sauna, or nothing at all.

Private cabins look out over the water, and your chef cooks Greenlandic ingredients sourced from the fjord. A host helps plan each day around the conditions.

Frequently asked questions

Everything you need to know about this tour — from key details to what you can expect during the experience. If you can’t find your answer here, we’re always here to help.

What should I wear for the icefjord trip?

Even in summer, Arctic waters can be chilly. We recommend:

  • A warm, windproof jacket
  • Layered clothing (wool or fleece for insulation)
  • Gloves, a hat, and a scarf
  • Sturdy, warm footwear
  • Sunglasses (especially in summer, when the ice reflects a lot of light)

Our boat has a heated cabin, but you’ll want to step outside to fully experience the icefjord.

What makes this icefjord different from others in Greenland?

What makes this icefjord special is its seclusion and untouched beauty. Unlike the more well-known Ilulissat Icefjord, which sees frequent boat traffic, this bay is remote, with almost no visitors. This means you can experience the silence of the Arctic, undisturbed by crowds. The contrast between the rugged tundra and the ever-changing ice formations makes this a truly unique and immersive Arctic experience you will remember always.

What makes Nuuk icefjord unique compared to others in Greenland?

Greenland has many icefjords, but what makes Nuuk special is its accessibility and untouched beauty. Unlike the more famous Ilulissat Icefjord, which is often crowded with visitors, Nuuk’s icefjord is far more remote. This means fewer boats, more silence, and an almost meditative experience as you drift through the ice. The fjord also has a mix of massive icebergs and smaller, crystal-clear pieces that you can touch and even taste when we serve drinks chilled with glacial ice.

What makes visiting Nuuk in summer special?

Summer in Nuuk is when Greenland is at its most vibrant. The fjords are ice-filled, allowing for stunning explorations by boat, and the long daylight hours provide more time for adventure. Wildlife is also at its peak, with humpback whales returning to the fjords and Arctic flora in full bloom. It’s the season where Greenland’s raw beauty is most accessible, making it the perfect time to experience everything from hiking and paddleboarding to cultural experiences.

What makes visiting Nuuk in winter special?

Winter in Nuuk is a time of pure Arctic magic. The fjords are covered in white, the mountains are covered in snow, and the crisp, cold air makes the scenery feel even more dramatic. The northern lights dance across the sky on dark, clear nights, and the long winter shadows create a surreal atmosphere. Whether you’re sailing through icy waters, relaxing in an Arctic sauna, or experiencing traditional Greenlandic culture, winter offers a more peaceful and immersive experience than any other season.

Can I take photos of the Northern Lights?

Yes! But capturing the auroras requires a bit of technique. A camera with manual settings, a tripod, and a long exposure mode will help you get the best shots. Smartphone cameras have improved a lot, but using night mode or a dedicated aurora photography app will give you better results. Our guides are happy to share tips on how to photograph the lights if you need help.
