Summer Stay in Tasiilaq, Greenland

Your Iceland and Greenland escape

Since you will already be in Iceland, it would be a shame not to also visit nearby Greenland! An hours flight away from Kulusuk, Then its a short ride to Tasiilaq, the most important city on Greenland’s eastern coast, with nearly 2000 inhabitants. It is located on the island of Ammassalik, in the fjord to which it owes its name. Surrounded by high mountains, and nestled in the crevice of the Ammassalik fjord, Tasiilaq enjoys surprisingly clement weather. No need to be a rugged backpacker, the city has a comfortable hotel and even chalets for rent. Not far from the Arctic Circle, Tasiilaq is the ideal point of entry for a first discovery of the Great North. Now all you have left to do is reserve a few excursions out of Tasiilaq!

This trip is available from February to October.
