Whales are very common in the sea and fjords all over the Ammassalik area. Chances of seeing whales are very high, and a simple voyage along the coastline or in the fjords is a whale-watching safari in itself.
The season for whale-watching peaks from late July – end of September.
Whale-watching safaris are organised by local tour operators in both Kulusuk and Tasiilaq, and we highly recommend this opportunity for close-up views of these fascinating creatures. The boats have heated cabins and hot refreshments are served.
Below you see a list of the most common whales in Ammassalik.
