Rated 4 out of 5
Anne (verified owner)–
Great tour with super friendly and knowledgeable guide Daniel. Absolutely breathtaking views from the top. The hike is short as you can drive up to the middle of the hill. 360 degrees view and you can see the ice cap which is amazing! Only regret, maybe a bit too short, could do with more time to admire the views and take it all in!

Super friendly Guide told us a lot about Greenland on this Tour. The Views from sugar loaf are incredible and totally worth the effort. We Made 100s of Photos. Even saw Musk ox and reindeer on the way and the guide stopped to make Photos. He Had a good eye for wildlife. Thanks a lot.
