The boat excursion to Ilulissat Icefjord begins at the Halibut Ponton Harbour in Ilulissat, where you will board the comfortable boat, which seats a maximum of 25 passengers. You'll be greeted by the experienced local guide and receive a quick safety and itinerary briefing. Then, your magical journey to the Ilulissat Icefjord begins!
