ICELAND
Iceland – Sailing Exploration
Embark on an adventure to Iceland by sailboat to discover its raw and unspoiled nature
An Iceland off the beaten path
A region like no other
Isolated and rugged fjords, among the wildest in Iceland
Low population density, few roads, almost exclusively maritime access
Pristine landscapes: cliffs, tundra, deserted beaches
Waters rich in marine life: whales, dolphins and seals
Iceland is often perceived as an expensive and standardized destination. With KAMAK Expeditions , it becomes different. By leaving the tourist areas, exploring remote territories, and managing our own logistics, we offer a unique approach to Iceland: more committed, more cohesive, and often more economical than traditional tours .

A sailboat designed for Arctic exploration
Since its creation in 2018 under the impetus of Jean Bouchet, high mountain guide, KAMAK Expeditions explores the most remote fjords of the Arctic, often without any prior information.
Driven by a spirit of discovery and a love for the polar environment, the KAMAK project combines rigor, autonomy and wonder .
Thanks to years of exploration in the fjords of Scoresby Sund, the crew now offers three expeditions to Greenland combining sailing, hiking, kayaking and Arctic sky observation.
Who are these expeditions intended for?
AMAK expeditions are for those who wish to experience the Far North differently — far from timed tourism and standardized itineraries.
They prioritize immersion, slowness, observation, and encounters.
To fully enjoy the trip, you should be able to walk for 4 to 5 hours on varied terrain (grass, rocks, scree). Activities are done in small groups: easy walks, glacier hikes, kayak trips, and nighttime observations, weather permitting.
Each passenger is free to participate in the day’s excursions or not. On board, one can also choose to contemplate, fish, cook, or simply listen to the silence of the fjord.
Nothing is set in stone: the ice, the sea and our emotions dictate the program.
Life on board
KAMAK can accommodate 10 passengers on board, in addition to the crew (3 sailors including 1 cook)
