We are a small, locally owned company with a genuine passion for sharing the incredible nature of our region with every guest. Tarajoq [dara’jok] is an old Inuit word for “salt water” and reflects our love for the sea and our extensive experience in providing safe and memorable adventures for travellers visiting Ilulissat and the Disko Bay area.

ICEFJORD SAILING AND WHALES

“Ilulissat” means “Icebergs” in Kalaallisut, the Greenlandic language. We will show you the frozen giants from the very best angles and in the mesmerizing light of the midnight sun.

The nutrient-rich waters of the Icefjord also attract whales, which we often encounter up close.

HIKING AND EXPLORING

We offer adventurous hiking tours where we reach the trailhead by boat. Come explore hidden waterfalls, secret fjords behind narrow passages and stunning glaciers together with us.

Check out our different tours and availability - we’re flexible and happy to arrange on short notice.

MEET THE OWNER

My name is Jonas, and I’m the owner of Tarajoq Tours.
Since 2018, I’ve been sailing with guests in the Ilulissat Icefjord and the Disko Bay area - a place that never ceases to amaze me. My company is 100% locally owned and operated.

Tarajoq [dara’jok] is an old Inuit word for “salt water” - and that’s exactly where you’ll find me! I’m fueled by the endless beauty of the Icefjord and the joy of sharing unforgettable experiences with my guests - whether it’s sailing between towering icebergs or spotting playful humpback whales in the golden light of the midnight sun.

In addition to running Tarajoq Tours, I hold a degree in Arctic Civil Engineering with a focus on spatial planning and infrastructure. Outside the tourism season, I work in the renewable energy sector, helping to unlock Greenland’s enormous hydropower potential.

Over the years, I’ve also lived in Nuuk, Greenland’s capital, and in Sisimiut, where I had a team of 14 Greenlandic sled dogs.

I hope to welcome you to Ilulissat in the summer of 2025!
