About the Port
Hurry Inlet sits along Greenland's remote east coast, near the entrance to Scoresby Sund, the world's largest fjord system. Fed by the south-flowing East Greenland Current, these waters often carry sea ice drifting down from the Arctic Ocean, shaping a landscape of towering mountains and drifting icebergs. The area remains sparsely visited, offering a rare look at one of the planet's most isolated coastal regions.
Wildlife sightings, including whales and native gyrfalcons, are part of the appeal for travelers exploring by small craft. There are no port facilities here, and calls are typically made by tender in open water, weather and ice conditions permitting. Visitors should expect a genuine wilderness setting rather than any town or infrastructure, with the surrounding fjord landscape itself the primary destination.
Pavlus Recommendations
How our planners would spend a day in Hurry Inlet.
Zodiac Cruise Among Icebergs
Small-craft tenders wind through drifting sea ice near Scoresby Sund's entrance, offering close-up views of towering blue icebergs against a backdrop of jagged peaks. Weather and ice conditions dictate the route, so each outing is unique.
Scan for Whales and Gyrfalcons
Keep binoculars ready while exploring by boat, as these waters and cliffs are known habitat for whales and native gyrfalcons. Sightings are unpredictable, making patient, quiet observation part of the reward.
Take In the Fjord Wilderness
With no port infrastructure, the landscape itself is the destination: mirror-still waters, towering mountains, and drifting ice define one of the most isolated coastal regions on Earth. Dress warmly and savor the rare solitude.
