Travel to the edge of the world with like-minded women. Culture, connection, and awe await.
For Women Over 50 Craving Deeper Travel
Are you a woman over 50 who still craves wonder? Do you feel called to quiet places—where you can hear your own breath, meet people still living traditional lives, and share meaningful moments with women who “get” you?
Then East Greenland may be your next great adventure.
This isn’t a luxury spa. It’s better. It’s unfiltered nature, ancient culture, and jaw-dropping beauty you’ll share with a small group of like-minded women. And the best part? You don’t need to be a hardcore adventurer—just curious, open-hearted, and ready to explore a corner of the world few ever get to see.
Let me take you there.
Day 1: Kulusuk — Where the Adventure Begins for Women Over 50
Our journey began in Kulusuk, a small Arctic village where tradition lives on. Colorful houses sit perched on a rugged coastline, with sled dogs resting outside and mountains watching from every direction.
We boarded a traditional Greenlandic boat—still used for hunting today, and repurposed in summer to carry curious travelers like us. The water was mirror-still as we crossed the bay under bluebird skies to Apusiajik Glacier, a hidden gem visited by only a few hundred people each year.
We hiked across ancient ice, entered an ice cave sculpted by meltwater, and shared lunch with new friends beneath a flawless sky. That evening, we wandered Kulusuk village, met sled dog puppies, and attended a mesmerizing drum dance performance that told Inuit stories through rhythm and movement.
To top it all off? The village soccer team returned home victorious, and the entire community celebrated. We danced, watched fireworks, and felt like part of something real.
Travel tip: Pack extra socks and layers. Even summer in Greenland can surprise you. And leave space in your heart—this place fills it fast.
Bluie East Two — A WWII Ghost Town in the Arctic
A boat ride brought us to Ikateq Fjord, where we hiked into Bluie East Two, an abandoned WWII U.S. weather and rescue base. Rusted trucks, oil drums, and Quonset huts remain as if frozen in time.
Set against steep cliffs and sapphire water, the site felt like a time capsule from the 1940s—and yet, nature is slowly reclaiming it. We explored the ruins, learned the site’s history from our guide Inga, and even filmed an 80s-style music video for fun.
As the tide receded quickly (a phenomenon here), we had to wade back to the boat—in our underwear—laughing the whole way.
Packing tip: Always bring dry socks and pants on boat days. Greenland loves surprises.
Lunch with Giants — Glaciers, Silence, and Awe
That afternoon, we drifted in front of Knud Rasmussen and Karale Glaciers in the breathtaking Sermiligaaq Fjord. This is often called the “Beautiful Glacier Fjord,” and now we understand why.
We had lunch on the boat as icebergs creaked and cracked in the distance. Every woman fell into a kind of reverent silence. It felt like the world had paused.
Kuummiit — A Remote Village with an Open Heart
In Kuummiit, a remote village of under 300 people, we were welcomed into Laura’s home for a traditional Kaffimik. Coffee, cakes, and deep connection filled the room.
Laura is a mother of four and a member of Parliament, working to improve life in her village while preserving Greenlandic culture. She told us about the challenges youth face, especially when leaving for education in Nuuk.
Outside, we saw sleds waiting for winter, puppies playing in the grass, and a polar bear skin drying in the sun—a reminder of how nature and survival intertwine here.
We celebrated a birthday that evening. Laura sang to us in Greenlandic. We didn’t need to understand the words to feel the meaning.
Tinit & Sermilik Fjord — Hike the Edge of the Ice
From Tinit, we hiked above the Sermilik Fjord, climbing ancient granite shaped 400 million years ago. Our guide carried a rifle—not for show, but because this is polar bear country.
From a high perch, we looked out at a fjord filled with icebergs. The view was endless. On the descent, we passed crowberries, arctic cotton, and brilliant pink catchfly.
That night, we sat on the steps of our guesthouse, cracked open beers, and watched the sun hang low over the ice. Quiet joy. Shared silence. Gratitude.
Tasiilaq — Culture, Craft, and Arctic Resilience
Tasiilaq, East Greenland’s largest town, gave us a taste of contrast. We browsed Inuit carvings at the Stunk Artist Cooperative, learned about tupilaks, and watched a local woman perform a traditional drum dance in sealskin clothing.
At the museum, we stepped into a reconstructed winter house—home to up to 16 people in the 1950s. We hiked to a hidden waterfall in Flower Valley, surrounded by wildflowers, then ended the day in a sauna, gazing over the rooftops of Tasiilaq.
Whale Songs and Golden Hour Stillness
One evening, I wandered through Tinit at 10pm. The sun hovered above the fjord. It was so quiet, I could hear a whale breathing before I could see it.
I followed the sound to the water. For nearly an hour, I watched it navigate through the ice. Deep inhales. Misty exhales. Complete presence.
You can’t Google this. You have to be there.
Why Women Over 50 Should Go to Greenland
- You’re done with “touristy.”
- You want meaning, not just mileage.

This is the trip you didn’t know you needed. And there’s still time to go before East Greenland changes forever.
