Greenland

ABOUT

ACCOMMODATION

ACCOMMODATION

Greenland is Iceland´s next door neighbor, so the flight from Iceland to Kulusuk on Greenlan´s east coast, home of the Ammassalik Inuit people, only takes ca. 90 minutes, and little over 2 hours to get to Illulisat on the south-east coast.


Due to the short distance between Iceland and

Greenland  it´s very convenient to go on a short visit Greenland while in Iceland.  In summer,  Icelandair and Air Greenland have frequent direct flights from Reykjavik domestic airport or Keflavik international airport to the main towns in Greenland.


Once travelers step off their international flight they often continue by taking a domestic flight, or by helicopter or ship and/or by husky dog-sledge on a journey across the vast frozen wilderness.sat on the south-east coast.

ACTIVITIES

Greenland is all about nature - and all activities are connected more or less  to the unspoiled nature and the feeling of being back to basic. 


On your Greenland trip you will discover incredible wildlife: whales, musk oxen, seals, reindeer and polar bears. It´s indeed magical to paddle quietly in a kajak and see a seal relaxing on an ice berg floating next to you.


The beauty of the country’s natural wilderness, combined with the Inuit cultural experience, may very well mean that your visit to Greenland will rank as one of your most cherished travel experiences.

THE PEOPLE

THE PEOPLE

ACTIVITIES

Greenland is home to a hardy Inuit population of only 56.000, spread sparsely along the east and west coasts. These charming and hospitable people continue to live a traditional life of fishing and sealing in what is one of the world’s harshest but most beautiful environments.


 It´s fascinating to learn how they have managed to adapt and carve out an existence for centuries under such harsh climatic conditions.


Greenland is the most sparsely populated country in the world and there are no roads connecting any of its towns.

CUSINE

THE PEOPLE

CUSINE

Because the majority of Greenland is covered by permanent glaciers, the sea is the source for most food through the centuries.


The traditional  Inuit dish is a soup, called Suaasat. It ismade from seal, or from whale, reindeer, or seabirds. The soup often includes onions and potatoes, and is simply seasoned with salt and pepper, 


We encourage our guests to viist a real home in Greenland and try kaffimik - Greenlandic refreshments.


Today´s Greenland has all the food we are used to in the western world,  and there are good restaurants at hotels, and even in Ilimanaq, Koks  a Michelin star restraurant from the Faroe Islands  operates during the summer months !
