Settlement Visit

Arriving in Kulusuk | Create your adventure

You will depart from Reykjavik Domestic Airport to Kulusuk, for a 2-hour flight. Flying over Greenland is trip in itself. Seeing the white blanket of ice, covering the landscape is a memorable experience.

On arrival in Kulusuk, you will be welcomed by your guide and transferred to Hotel Kulusuk. The day is yours to create and, depending on the season, the activities vary.

Optional Summer Tours:

– Sailing to the Apusiajik Glacier
– Iceberg cruises
– City Walks
– Helicopter tours to the Inland ice
– Visit to nearby settlements

Optional Winter Tours:

– Snowmobile rides
– Dog sled exploring
– Dog sled tour to the Apusiajik Glacier

The day is yours to define, but we definitely recommend going to the Apusiajik Glacier. The glacier rises steeply above the surrounding mountains, creating a picturesque landscape of ice and snow. By the foot of the glacier are migrating icebergs in white and blue nuances, in all shapes and sizes. It is a place, so magical, that not even your imagination can fathom the beauty.

Departure Day | Iceland

You will have the morning to explore Kulusuk Island. Chitchat with the local, shop for souvenirs or hike the backdrop of Kulusuk.

It is time to say goodbye to Kulusuk, and we hope you had an adventurous stay in the small village.

What to bring

Warm winter wear. Ideally, you should dress in layers: at least one thermal underwear layer (top and bottom), activity layer (e.g. hiking pants and shirt), and insulation layer (e.g. fleece or down jacket). The outer layer must be proper winter gear which typically has lots of insulation and is windproof. Think ski jacket and pants if you come from a warmer climate.
Warm hat, thick windproof gloves, buff or scarf
Insulated winter boots
Sunglasses and sunscreen – snow is very bright and even the winter sun can cause sunburn
Camera with extra batteries (the cold drains the batteries faster)
Day pack
Water bottle

Additional Information

Dress after the 3-layer structure that is adequate for this adventure, whereby each has its own specialized purpose: a moisture transfer base layer next to your skin, then one or more adjustable insulating layers, and finally an outer shell to protect you from rain and wind.
Departure from Reykjavík domestic airport. As all local tours depend upon weather and ice conditions, they can only be booked after arrival.
