South Greenland

Experience the highlights of South Greenland and its Arctic nature. This tour will take you around the Golden Triangle of South Greenland covering most aspects of Greenlandic history and everyday life in the Arctic.

Alluitsup Paa

A visit to this traditional fishing village is almost like a visit to Disko Bay! The local hunters are still bringing in seals to be sold at the local market, whales are seen from the shore from mid July and gigantic icebergs cruise by on the open sea.

Hot springs

The biggest hot spring in Greenland, where it is possible to bathe in the spring whilst watching the icebergs floating in the nearby fjord.

Qaqortoq

Besides being one of the most beautiful towns in Greenland it is famous for the art project “Man & Stone”. It is also a historic town with buildings dating back to the first Danish colony trading station.

Narsaq

A small provincial town with an interesting museum area around the old harbour. Many walking possibilities to the Viking ruins at Dyrnaes and to points of great geological interest.

The nature and history area of South Greenland offering easy and beautiful hikes through the Flower Valley to the Inland Icecap and excursions to the historic Viking sites.
