Get ready for Greenland this summer…

Summer will soon be approaching and what better time to see the wonders of Greenland. Summer temperatures in Greenland average around 11°C but it can feel surprisingly warm in the sheltered fjords and valleys. There’s so much to see during this time of the year - twenty four hours of daylight to start, the arctic flora begin to bloom, migratory birds arrive and the pack ice breaks up sending giant icebergs drifting through the fjords. Be mesmerised this summer with our range of Greenland holidays…

South Greenland…
For a totally different summer holiday, why not experience the ultimate highlights of South Greenland on our comprehensive hotel-based holiday. Discover the region’s intriguing history, visit the remains of Viking settlements and witness dramatic landscapes, including icebergs, hot springs and fjords.

This fantastic holiday is based around three contrasting locations, known collectively as the ‘golden triangle’ and covers most aspects of Greenlandic life. The small settlement at Narsarsuaq offers an ideal base to explore a surrounding area where history and nature combine. Hike through the beautiful Flower Valley, visit the Viking ruins where Eric the Red settled or cruise on an ice fjord. Observe the traditional lifestyle in Alluitsup Paa, Qaqortoq and Narsaq. Travelling between the towns by the local coastal steamer means you’ll also have the opportunity to explore at your own pace through a range of optional excursions including hiking, cruising and even a helicopter ride to the icecap.

Prices for this 9-night holiday start from £1788 per person based on two sharing and includes return flights between UK and Keflavik and Reykjavik and Narsarsuaq, 7 nights accommodation in Greenland on a half board basis and 2 nights in Reykjavik on a B&B basis (one at either end of the holiday), services of guide in Greenland, airport transfers in Greenland and between Keflavik Airport and Reykjavik and airport taxes.
