West Greenland Tour

This tour is a combination of two of the most interesting destinations in West Greenland: Ilulissat is located next to the biggest glacier in the northern hemisphere and the town over looks the ice fiord with huge icebergs drifting towards open sea. You can experience the life and culture of the greenlanders north of the polar circle. The Kangerlussuaq area offers unique landscape and superb chances of seeing arctic wildlife like musk oxen and reindeer.
