Day 1: Welcome to Greenland
Depart from Reykjavik Domestic Airport for a short flight to Kulusuk in Greenland, where upon arrival you will enjoy a scenic ten-minute helicopter flight to Tasiilaq, enjoying panoramic views over the fjords and glaciers along the way. You are then welcomed by a hotel representative who will take you to your accommodation, where you can relax and enjoy a Greenlandic dinner.
Day 2 and 3: Tasiilaq Tranquillity
Enjoy the winter serenity of Tasiilaq, a cosy town with pristine natural surroundings nestled on the Tasiilaq Fjord. This is a great starting point for an array of exciting optional activities, which you can book right at your hotel. For a unique Arctic experience, we highly recommend trying your hand at mushing with an optional dog-sledding tour led by a local expert.
Note: outdoor activities are dependent on local weather conditions. The best months for dog sledding is in March and April when the daylight hours are longer and snow conditions tend to be more favourable.
Day 4: Departure
Today, your Arctic getaway draws to a close. On the return flight to Reykjavík, enjoy more magnificent views over the Ammassalik area with its huge glaciers and floating icebergs.
