The best time to visit Upernavik is during the summer months, from June to August, when the weather is mildest and the daylight hours are longest.
During this period, temperatures typically range from 5°C to 10°C, making outdoor activities much more comfortable. The extended daylight, often lasting 24 hours in June and July, provides ample opportunity for exploring the stunning natural landscapes and engaging in local experiences.
This time of year is particularly good for travellers interested in wildlife viewing, as the ice recedes and allows for boat trips to see whales and a variety of seabirds. It's also ideal for those wanting to try kayaking or hiking, with clearer trails and more pleasant conditions.
For those keen on experiencing the Midnight Sun, June and July offer the best chance to witness this natural phenomenon, where the sun remains visible even at midnight.
