MEET THE OWNER

My name is Jonas and I’m the owner of TARAJOQ TOURS.
I’ve been sailing with tourists in the Ilulissat Icefjord and Disko Bay area since 2018. My company is 100% locally owned. 

Tarajoq [dara’jok] is an old Inuit word for salt water - and that's exactly where you'll find me! I fuel on the never-ending beauty of the Ilulissat Icefjord and the great fun of sharing incredible experiences with my guests, whether it’s sailing in between the jaw-dropping icebergs or spotting playful humpback whales in the mesmerizing light of the midnight sun.

I was born in Denmark, but I’ve spent most of my professional career in Greenland, which by time has become the place I definitively call home and where I live year around with my family.

Besides running my company, I have a degree in Arctic Civil Engineering specialized in spatial planning and infrastructure. I’ve previously lived in Nuuk, the capital of Greenland and in Sisimiut, where I used to have my own 14 Greenlandic sled dogs.

I hope to see you this summer!
