Frequently asked questions

When is the best time to go to Grise Fiord?
The best time to go to Grise Fiord is during the summer months, from late June to late August, when the weather is mildest and daylight is continuous.

During this period, the sea ice often breaks up, allowing for boat travel and offering opportunities to see marine wildlife like seals, walruses, and narwhals. The warmer temperatures, typically ranging from 5°C to 15°C, make outdoor activities more comfortable. This is also when the community is most active with local events and tours.

For travellers interested in wildlife viewing, July and August are particularly good. Guides can take you out on the water or to nearby land areas where animals are more commonly spotted. The 24-hour daylight provides ample time for exploration and photography.

Those seeking a truly great experience might consider late April or May for dog sledding excursions across the sea ice before it melts. While colder, with temperatures often below freezing, the extended daylight hours begin, and the landscapes are stunningly pristine.
