The trips aren\u2019t overly technical (you don\u2019t need specific touring kayak training, for instance). That said, you do need to have enough experience to know how to get in and out of the kayak, etc.\r\nSelf-supported expeditions require full commitment from the travellers: strong group spirit is a must! An expedition wouldn\u2019t be the same without everyone pitching in. Travellers help set up camp, prepare dinners, and more.\r\nIt's also important to remember that Mother Nature often dictates the pace of an expedition, so you need to be patient\u2026 and well equipped!\r\n<h3>What\u2019s the temperature in Greenland?<\/h3>\r\nIt's a common misconception that Greenland is extremely cold. In reality, it's often bright and sunny, with minimal darkness, which helps moderate the sensation of being cold.\r\n<h3>What preparation is needed?<\/h3>\r\nYou should, of course, base your training on the type of trip you\u2019re planning.\r\nFor a touring kayak trip, we recommend training as often as possible to feel comfortable on the water and with handling the paddle.\r\nFor a trek, you can practise walking on a variety of surfaces: rocks, mud, inclines and so on.\r\nThe most important thing is to be used to camping.\r\n<h3>When is the right time to visit Greenland?<\/h3>\r\nIn the summer! This season is very short in Greenland, which is why we tend to concentrate our expeditions in July and August.\r\n\r\n[caption id=\"attachment_21695\" align=\"alignnone\" width=\"1080\"]<img class=\"wp-image-21695 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.sail.ca\/blog\/app\/uploads\/2025\/02\/Preparation-for-an-expedition-1.jpg\" alt=\"Preparation for an expedition\" width=\"1080\" height=\"720\" \/> @ Karavaniers \u2013 JF HAGENMULLER[\/caption]"},{"acf_fc_layout":"text_content","content_anchor":true,"anchor_link_text":"How to get properly equipped","text_content":"<h2>How to get properly equipped for an expedition in Greenland<\/h2>\r\nIn short, you want to make sure you have everything you need to adapt to all conditions and stay comfortable throughout the expedition.\r\n\r\nStart by considering the comfort of your feet.
