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!
