Ski and sail

Introduction 

For those who dream beyond the ordinary, ski and sail expeditions give a rare blend of alpine thrills, untouched wilderness, and rich Inuit culture. From the glacier-streaked fjords of West Greenland to the icy, remote coasts of Canada’s Baffin Island, these are not your average ski or kayak trips they are full-throttle adventures into the heart of the North. 

Baffin Island Tours: Where Ice Meets Imagination 

Located in Canada's Nunavut territory, Baffin Island tours take you far beyond the reaches of standard travel. With jagged coastlines and towering cliffs shaped by ancient glaciers, Baffin offers a paddling and sailing experience that feels like venturing into the unknown. Few kayakers have explored its full length, and even fewer have done so guided by the Midnight Sun and the crackle of calving icebergs 

Our Baffin Island tours are designed to show you the majesty of the North without sacrificing comfort. During the day, you'll kayak beneath soaring granite cliffs and between glistening icebergs freshly released by tidewater glaciers. Wildlife here is abundant and surreal: polar bears pacing the shores, narwhals surfacing like Arctic spirits, and walruses lounging along the ice. 

Each evening, return to the warmth of your expedition yacht, where hot meals and cozy cabins offer a welcome contrast to the raw elements outside. You’ll sail across the Davis Strait the gateway to Greenland and soak in landscapes that remain untouched by human footprints. 

Ski and Sail: West Greenland's Remote Slopes 

For the alpine-inclined, the ski and sail experience in West Greenland offers something truly exceptional. These expeditions combine world-class backcountry skiing with the freedom of exploring by boat, granting access to slopes no ski lift could ever reach. 

Expedition Engineering’s Greenland ski and sail trips begin aboard a comfortable yacht, your base for the journey. From this floating lodge, you’ll access remote fjords lined with 1,200-meter peaks that drop straight into the sea. Using small boats to reach the shore, you’ll ski tour up pristine ridgelines, then carve fresh tracks all the way back to the water’s edge. 

Spring in West Greenland offers long daylight hours and stable snow, perfect for adventurous lines and exploratory descents. Whether you're skiing mellow glacier bowls or committing couloirs, the silence and stillness of the Arctic surrounds every turn. 

Choose Your Expedition 

Whether you’re drawn to the silent mystery of Baffin Island’s coastline or the skiable peaks of Greenland’s fjords, Expedition Engineering brings you face to face with the North’s raw, untouched beauty. These aren’t cookie-cutter itineraries. Every trip is flexible, exploratory, and deeply connected to place. 

Our ski and sail and Baffin Island tours are ideal for seasoned adventurers seeking more than just a vacation they’re for those chasing the edge of the map. 

Conclusion 

Baffin Island tours and ski and sail expeditions in West Greenland are more than adventures they’re powerful journeys into places where nature reigns supreme.

Kayaking Expedition

Expedition-Style Kayaking in Iceland: Where Glaciers Meet the Sea 

Iceland, also referred to as the "Land of Fire and Ice," is a place where the extremes of nature coexist in stunning harmony.  Glistening glaciers and towering volcanoes erupt lava, while ice fjords wind through ancient landscapes that have not been touched by contemporary life. A skillfully guided Iceland excursion is the best way to discover this wild Nordic island, which has become a popular destination for travelers seeking to explore natural, untamed nature. 

A Place Designed for Exploration 

Iceland pushes you to test the limits of conventional travel, whether you're kayaking in iceland past icebergs in the midnight sun or standing atop a snow-covered mountain.  Although Reykjavík, the capital, offers a bustling cultural contrast, true explorers are drawn to the untouched environment outside. 

 You will sail into isolated fjords, ski unexplored powder lines, and paddle through coastal seas where the only noises are your paddle and the Arctic breeze when you go on an Icelandic adventure. 

Iceland Expedition Weather: Expect the Unexpected 

Weather in Iceland is as dynamic as its terrain. Spring is perfect for ski touring Iceland, with light snowfalls, clear skies, and even glimpses of the Northern Lights. In contrast, summer offers longer days, warmer temperatures, and ideal conditions for hiking, sailing, and kayaking in Iceland. 

Expect highs in the low teens (°C) in summer, and around 6°C in Greenland. With light winds and relatively little rain, it’s a comfortable time to explore the rugged coasts and pristine waters.

Why Choose an Iceland Expedition with Us? 

At Expedition Engineering, we specialize in blending high adventure with immersive natural experiences. Whether it’s ski touring Iceland’s untouched ranges or kayaking in Iceland’s Arctic fjords, our small-group expeditions are crafted for those who crave remote, rugged, and meaningful travel.

Kayaking Expedition

Kayaking in Greenland: A Wild Arctic Kayak Expedition Like No Other 

For adventurous paddlers seeking remote wilderness, towering glaciers, and Arctic wildlife, few places on Earth rival the experience of kayaking in Greenland. With surreal icebergs, deep fjords, and ancient Inuit villages, this vast, rugged island offers an unforgettable kayak expedition that combines raw nature, cultural immersion, and serious adventure. We begin this small ship, Iceland-to-Greenland cruise in the tiny hamlet of Ísafjörður, in the far northwest corner of Iceland. 

This region is not only a perfect launch point for our Arctic voyage but also one of the best destinations for kayaking Iceland, offering pristine coastlines and dramatic fjords teeming with birdlife and seals. 

Why Go Kayaking in Greenland? 

Greenland is one of the last true frontiers of sea kayaking. The summer months bring long daylight hours and relatively calm weather ideal conditions for exploring this icy wilderness by paddle. Picture yourself gliding silently past glowing blue icebergs, spotting whales and seals, and camping on untouched shores. It’s a paddler’s paradise. 

What sets Greenland apart isn’t just its scenery it’s also the culture. Along the East Coast, small coastal villages still practice traditional subsistence lifestyles, offering a glimpse into a way of life that has endured for centuries. Kayaking here offers both natural and human connection, making every trip rich with meaning.

East Coast vs. West Coast Greenland 

When planning your kayak expedition, choosing between Greenland’s East and West coasts is key. 

The West Coast is more developed, with towns like Nuuk and easier access via air. It’s popular with cruise ships and has more infrastructure but also more tourists. The landscape is greener with rolling hills and frequent iceberg sightings. However, katabatic winds from the nearby ice cap can make paddling conditions less predictable. 

In contrast, East Greenland is wilder, less inhabited, and dramatically beautiful. Towering 1500m peaks rise directly from the sea, and there’s a stronger sense of isolation. With fewer tourists, calmer wind conditions, and more striking scenery, kayaking in East Greenland is ideal for those seeking a true remote wilderness experience. 

Weather and Conditions

The best time to go kayaking in Greenland is from June to August. During this window, temperatures range from 2°C to 10°C (and sometimes up to 15°C). Rain and even snow are possible, so layered, waterproof gear is essential. Water temperatures hover around a chilly 3–4°C, making proper cold-water preparation critical. 

Winds are generally light to moderate on the East Coast and stronger on the West. Tides and currents are present but manageable, and the overall paddling conditions are stable especially with a knowledgeable guide. 

 Types of Kayak Expeditions in Greenland 

1. Kayak Camping Expeditions 

This is the purest way to explore Greenland’s wilderness. Paddle by day, camp by night, and carry everything you need. It’s ideal for experienced paddlers who want full immersion in the landscape. The downsides? You’re more exposed to the elements and limited in the distance you can travel. 

2. Cruise Ship Kayak Tours 

Large cruise ships often offer kayaking as a short activity. It’s accessible and comfortable, perfect for first-timers. However, these tours are brief, crowded, and don’t allow deep cultural or nature connection. 

3. Small Ship Kayaking Expeditions – The Best of Both Worlds 

This is where Expedition Engineering shines. Our small ship, liveaboard kayak expeditions in East Greenland offer intimate access to remote fjords, icebergs, and traditional villages without sacrificing comfort. With 10–12 guests on board and expert guides, you enjoy freedom, flexibility, and safety, while still having the spirit of exploration. These trips are highly customizable and deeply immersive. 

The Expedition Engineering Advantage 

Expedition Engineering has pioneered Arctic kayak expeditions for years, combining technical expertise, environmental sensitivity, and unforgettable adventure. With top-of-the-line equipment, safety-first philosophy, and a passion for wild places, our kayaking in Greenland trips go far beyond ordinary.

Greenland Expedition

Greenland and Iceland: Twin Realms of Ice and Adventure

Greenland and Iceland are two of the few places on Earth where nature feels as clean and pure. Waterways, glaciers, volcanoes, and thousands of years of cultural perseverance have mounded these northern frontiers. When combined, they provide an experience that is both surreal and reassuring, where long-standing customs collide with sweeping coastlines.

Starting in Iceland

Iceland is often the beginning of the journey. Its accessibility and infrastructure make it a natural springboard for Arctic adventures. But Iceland is much more than a stopover. From black sand beaches and erupting geysers to steep-walled fjords and volcanic ridgelines, it is a playground for those who seek remote exploration.

Ski touring in Iceland is an unforgettable way to access the landscape climbing and descending mountains that drop straight into the North Atlantic. On the way, you’ll pass steaming hot springs, remote fishing villages, and icy valleys that seem to belong to another planet.

Greenland Tours from Iceland: Crossing into the Arctic Wild

Greenland cruises from Iceland provide a real change of scale for those who are prepared to go beyond. You arrive in a place that seems to have stood the test of time after a brief flight across the Denmark Channel. In particular, the east coast of Greenland is home to enormous glaciers, tall granite walls, and settlements that have preserved traditional ways of life for many generations.

Here, travel is all about adaptability and exploration. Your days are shaped by the weather. Your pathways are defined by ice. The benefits include hiking through kilometers of fjords, skiing down to bays teeming with icebergs, and traversing ancient ice with only your breath and the wind for company.

Two Worlds One Journey

Together, Greenland and Iceland offer a contrast that works in perfect balance. In Iceland, there is the power of geothermal heat, modern Arctic culture, and dramatic geological change. In Greenland, there is quiet, vast wilderness and the deep-rooted traditions of Inuit life.

These destinations aren’t just beautiful they challenge you, move you, and remind you what real exploration feels like. Whether you begin in Iceland and continue on a Greenland tour from Iceland, or take each destination on its own, the result is the same an adventure shaped by ice, guided by nature, and remembered for a lifetime.

Why Expedition Engineering

What makes these journeys unforgettable is not just the places you visit—it’s how you experience them. Expedition Engineering designs each trip with a deep respect for the land and the culture, combining expert local knowledge with true expedition experience. Small groups, flexible plans, and skilled guides mean every trip is personal, immersive, and safe.

If you’re ready to explore the wild edges of the world from the volcanoes of Iceland to the icy fjords of Greenland Expedition Engineering is here to take you there the right way.

Marquesas Islands adventures

Marquesas Islands Adventures Where Wilderness Meets the Sea 

The Marquesas Islands, located far out in the Pacific Ocean, are wild, isolated, and unlike any other place in French Polynesia. Resort life and coral lagoons do not characterize these islands. Rather, they emerge from the ocean as enormous, undeveloped coastlines, deep green valleys, and towering volcanic cliffs. Every trip seems like genuine adventure in a location where nature still reigns supreme. 

A Land Shaped by Nature and Culture 

The Marquesas Islands have rich Cultural tradition and stunning natural surroundings. Here, rivers flow through valleys littered with old stone sculptures and wild horses, while angular basalt peaks rise more than a thousand meters into the sky. Both the people and the landscapes of these islands tell stories. 

Small, lively settlements welcome visitors, and local life is carried on much as it has for many centuries. You can sense the pulse of a proud and active heritage whether you are dining with your family or touring holy cultural locations decorated in tiki carvings. 

Marquesas Islands Kayaking and Sailing 

One of the best ways to experience these islands is from the water. Marquesas Islands kayaking takes you along dramatic coastlines, past black sand beaches, sea arches, and steep cliff faces. Calm bays offer peaceful paddling, while exposed sections challenge your spirit of adventure. Every day on the water brings new discoveries. 

Marquesas Islands sailing adds another dimension to the journey. A comfortable catamaran becomes your floating home moving you between islands, revealing hidden coves, and giving you front-row seats to sunrise and sunset over the vast Pacific. Sailing here is not just travel; it’s part of the adventure. 

On Land and Below the Surface 

Onshore, the hikes are nothing short of spectacular. Trails lead through dense jungle to panoramic viewpoints, tumbling waterfalls, and villages full of life and history. These treks let you connect deeply with the land and appreciate its power and silence. For those who want to explore even further, snorkelling and diving offer glimpses into rich underwater life. While the Marquesas lack coral reefs, the marine encounters are no less dramatic rays, sharks, and schools of fish are often seen during the journey. 

An Invitation to the Wild Pacific 

If you are looking for something beyond the usual a place where the sea meets high cliffs, where stories are carved in stone, and where your days are filled with real connection the Marquesas Islands adventures are waiting. 

Whether you join a small group kayak expedition or a sailing journey through the archipelago, the wild Pacific will leave its mark on you. Come ready for adventure, and let Expedition Engineering guide you through this unforgettable part of the world.

Sea kayaking is at the heart of this adventure. Each day’s route is shaped by the weather and the coastline offering everything from calm sheltered bays to dramatic rock formations and caves. This is not just Tahiti kayaking for beginners but a rich paddling experience through some of the most stunning island landscapes in the South Pacific 

Hiking 

The islands are perfect for exploring on foot. Trails lead up to viewpoints with sweeping views of volcanic ridges deep valleys and the endless Pacific. You will also visit remote villages waterfalls and cultural sites rich with history. 

A Journey to Tahiti’s Wild Side 

The best time to explore this corner of the world is between November and March when the seas are calmer and the skies mostly dry. Temperatures stay warm year-round and the ocean invites you in with water that hovers around twenty-eight degrees 

But this is more than a holiday. It is not a typical cruise or a beach escape. This is an immersive adventure into one of the most remote and culturally rich regions of the Pacific. Every day brings a new connection whether you are paddling along sea cliffs hiking to a hidden waterfall or sharing stories over a traditional meal in a local village 

This journey is about discovering the land the ocean and yourself. It is the kind of experience that changes you in quiet lasting ways 

If you are ready for something real unforgettable and far from the ordinary Expedition Engineering is ready to welcome you to Tahiti’s wild side and guide you on the ultimate Tahiti kayaking and Tahiti sailing experience.

Greenland Adventure

Greenland Adventures a Land of Ice Colour and Quiet Discovery 

Greenland is not a place you pass through. It is a place that stays with you. It does not offer the loud buzz of cities or rush hour. Instead, it gives you silence broken only by the crack of ice or the call of a seabird. It gives you colours that defy logic and landscapes that make you pause and breathe deeper 

A Landscape That Defies Description 

Much of Greenland is covered in ice, and the remainder is shaped by it.   Sharp mountain peaks are formed by massive glaciers.   Icebergs reflect in the sunlight and drift silently along the shores of fjords that stretch for miles.   Because so much of it is, every nook and cranny seem pristine. You simply follow nature's lead here. 

 Whether you are drifting near the edge of a glacier in a small boat or hiking up a ridge for a better perspective, you are always surrounded by something powerful and ancient. 

Small Communities Big Character 

Greenland's towns and villages are few but unforgettable. On the west coast bright houses cluster against stone hills and the sea. Life here moves at a different pace guided by weather daylight and tradition 

Locals are welcoming and proud to share their way of life. Sit in on a kaffemik a traditional get together were coffee cake and conversation flow freely. Walk the town and you might find modern art galleries standing next to thousand-year-old archaeological sites. History and daily life are layered closely here. 

Exploration by Sea and Foot 

Many of Greenland's most beautiful places cannot be reached by road. But that is part of the adventure. Travel happens by boat by zodiac and sometimes even by foot or skis in the colder months 

Cruising through narrow fjords with high cliffs and glaciers towering on both sides is an experience few forget. It feels like discovering the Earth all over again. You might stop walking on shore to explore quiet valleys or spot whales and seals along the way. 

A Place That Changes You 

Greenland is more than just a place to visit.  It serves as a reminder of the planet's potential greatness and beauty.  It promotes respect, amazement, and patience. Visit the landscape.  Leave with stories you will never tire of telling and remain for the people. This is an experience that will change you, whether you are eating with a local family or watching icebergs glimmer at midnight. You are cordially invited by Expedition Engineering to join this expedition and take advantage of the greatest experiences Greenland has to offer.

Antarctica Skiing

Experience Antarctica by Ski a Journey to the Edge of the World

As you visit one of the most remote and breathtaking locations on Earth, the Antarctic Peninsula turns into your playground for eleven days that will never be forgotten.

Most of the skiing is done on glaciers. With peaks reaching up to fifteen hundred meters above sea level, the mountains are striking. Experienced backcountry skiers who feel comfortable in unpredictable snow and difficult terrain are the ideal candidates for this adventure. Depending on the day, visitors can anticipate snow conditions ranging from fresh powder to spring-like corn, and they are frequently tied up when climbing.

Skiing in Greenland

Why Greenland Should Be Your Next Ski Destination

Skiing in Greenland might sound unlikely, but it is not only possible, it is one of the most unforgettable experiences you can have on snow. With untouched powder, wild Arctic landscapes, and deep cultural roots, Greenland skiing offers something few other places can. After years of leading ski trips in this remote part of the world, I can tell you there is nothing quite like it. 

What Makes Greenland So Special 

Greenland has a way to stay with you. It is remote and untamed, and every trip feels like a true escape. Many who visit once find themselves coming back again and again. Whether you choose the east or west coast, each area offers something unique. 

Choosing Between East and West Greenland 

Greenland Skiing offers two main regions for skiing both are amazing in their own way 

West Greenland 

This side of the island is more accessible and has a long coastline of fjords. Mountains rise straight from the sea, offering fantastic skiing with easy access by boat. It is a great choice for boat-based ski tours. 

East Greenland 

Much more remote, the east is rugged and wild. Because of the heavy sea ice, travel is mostly by plane or helicopter. The villages are more traditional, and skiing is truly off the beaten track. 

What You Can Expect on a Ski Trip in Greenland 

World Class Terrain 

From easy glacier runs to steep drops, every skier can find something here. And with ocean views and untouched snow, each descent is unforgettable. 

Cultural Experiences 

Visiting small villages and meeting local people makes your time in Greenland even more meaningful. Learning about their way of life brings a deeper connection to the land. 

 Adventure Every Day 

Trips are flexible and change with the weather. You are not just going skiing you are part of a real Arctic adventure.
