Introduction

Experience a different world on a daytour to Kulusuk, a small village where Inuit hunting culture is still evident and often the main source of life. Huge icebergs sliding from one of the worlds largest glaciers float in Greenland's fjords, overlooked by granite mountains with jagged peaks. This daytour to the east coast of Greenland also includes a traditional drum-dance display.

Itinerary

Kulusuk island is situated west of the entrance to the stunning Ammassalik fjord. In the area around the fjord is the main settlement of the Ammassalik Eskimos, who were unknown to the rest of the world until 1884.

Now more than 2,000 Greenlanders live in the Ammassalik district, earning their living by fishing and seal hunting.

We take off from Reykjavík Airport with our knowledgeable guides who inform us during the two-hour flight about the exciting day that lies ahead. On arrival at Kulusuk, we are escorted by our guides for a 30-minute walk down to the village itself, with short stops en route to take in the magnificent scenery.

There is time to stroll around the village itself, purchase hand made craft articles or even strike up an acquaintance with some of Kulusuk's 360 inhabitants. Weather permitting, we see a demonstration of kayak rowing and the ancient drum dance which disappeared a long time ago on Greenland's west coast but is still kept alive by a few people on the east coast.

On our return flight to Reykjavík we enjoy a spectacular view over Ammassalik village and its neighbourhood where the scenery is magnificent and huge glaciers and floating icebergs can be seen.

Finally we are given a certificate as well as a stamp in our passports acknowledging our visit to Kulusuk.
