In the icy waters of Disko Bay, on the west coast of Greenland, icebergs drift slowly beneath the midnight sun, while humpback whales make their way up the fjords to feed. It is in this exceptional polar environment that we invite you to embark on an itinerant sea kayaking expedition, in the heart of one of Greenland’s most spectacular regions. In a small group of only 6 participants, we paddle silently among the giant ice formations calved from the Sermeq Kujalleq glacier, with a constant spirit of exploration. Each day combines sea kayaking among monumental icebergs, whale watching, wild camps on the tundra and hiking. This adventure favours a respectful approach to wildlife and a genuine immersion in the vast Arctic wilderness. Kayaking allows us to move quietly and get close to cetaceans in truly unique observation conditions, while experiencing an intense and authentic expedition. Depending on conditions, we may also have the opportunity to fish for cod directly from the kayaks, before preparing and sharing it in the evening at camp, facing the drifting icebergs.

If you have previous experience of high-altitude mountaineering and are considering a very high-altitude expedition, now is the time to sign up. Expeditions Unlimited has confirmed three major expeditions to Nepal in autumn 2026, targeting iconic Himalayan peaks: Ama Dablam (6,812 m), Himlung Himal (7,126 m) and Manaslu (8,163 m). Three distinct objectives, ranging from technical development to major Himalayan expeditions, led by experienced guides. These projects represent magnificent goals in their own right, or form part of a structured progression towards reaching even greater heights. They combine ambition, safety and real-world experience in the field. Places are limited and the dates for our preparation weekends with our expedition leaders have already been set.

From the Mediterranean to the Yukon, via the fjords of Greenland, our paddling expeditions take us deep into the heart of vast natural landscapes, where every day becomes a timeless adventure.

Polar expeditions push human limits and fuel scientific discovery. From Shackleton to today, the adventure continues. At Expeditions Unlimited, we prepare and secure your polar projects, from ski expeditions to crossings of Greenland.

At Expeditions Unlimited, snowkiting isn't just one activity among others. It's our DNA. We are a team of guides, explorers and passionate riders. Our expertise is built on thousands of kilometres travelled across the Arctic, on dozens of guided expeditions, on an intimate knowledge of katabatic winds, mountain aerology and the ever-changing conditions of the Far North. It rests on experienced guides like Michael Charavin, a member of the IPGA (International Polar Guide Association) and a pioneer of the great kite-powered crossings. We build logical progressions, solid learning paths and carefully managed skill development. From the beginner discovering their first pull in the Alps to the self-sufficient kiter crossing 1,600 kilometres of the Greenland ice cap, we support every step. We have charted four itineraries. From first initiation to the ultimate expedition. From your first ride at the Col du Lautaret to the full crossing of Greenland. Snowkiting opens the doors to the planet's greatest white deserts, from Greenland to Antarctica. It turns constraint into play, effort into pleasure, distance into pure sensation. We have charted four itineraries for you. From first initiation to the ultimate expedition. So whatever your level today, one question remains: how far will you go?
