Into the Wilds of Greenland with the World’s Most Intrepid Explorer

Qaqortoq, Greenland

Hike into the wilds Southern Greenland with legendary explorer Mike Horn on this day-long journey into the barren beauty of Qaqortoq, learning survival skills and fortitude from a man whose deeds are worthy of their own epic saga.


Scan the iceberg-flecked fjord for whales and white-tailed eagles from the cliffs above town before journeying into pristine wilderness seasonally inhabited by elusive Arctic foxes and solitary reindeer.

Learn how to navigate challenging terrain from a man who honed his skills during a lifetime of gruelling voyages on land and sea.
Witness nature’s artistry in colourful shrubs and moss woven together in a chaotic tapestry.


Mike reimagines the scene as nature’s buffet, pointing out berries that aid survival — and others that hasten a rapid demise. Gather round a crackling fire to sample the calorie-packed rations explorers take to the ends of the earth.


Loop back to Qaqortoq’s sheltered harbour across a landscape blanketed in fiery Arctic poppies and sky-blue Alpine forget-me-nots. EXPLORA I awaits, a welcome sight after a day with the world’s hardiest adventurer.
