Tour Overview

From Reykjavik - Nuuk to Nuuk - Reykjavik

Discover Greenland | Greenland Small Group Tour

Odyssey offers easy, convenient, and relaxed escorted small group tours across Greenland  and beyond to Iceland. We explore Greenland's fairy-tale natural beauty, and famous city, all with some truly spectacular scenery along the way. This and more is all waiting to be explored on one of Odyssey’s small group tours of Greenland, designed for the senior traveller, and led by experienced, and enthusiastic like minded people.

Our Discover Greenland small group tour lets travellers experience one of the world's most picturesque landscape. Greenland is the largest island in the world, with the vast majority of its landmass lying above the Arctic Circle.  Few places are quite so difficult to reach. Our Discover Greenland is a short tour. We have been at great pains to ensure that our travellers get to experience this breathtaking island. The tour includes a day exploring the archaeological sites of the Vikings led by Ethel the Red.

On this short tour, travellers receive the most comprehensive overview of this vast landmass, an autonomous region of Denmark. To maximise the learning experience and to Discover Greenland’s history and culture, the tour includes a visit to the astonishingly picturesque capital of Nuuk. From there, we experience amazing views from a fjord adventure of Nuup Kangerlua (Godthaab Fjord); a full day of beautiful nature, fascinating stories and delicious food in one of the worlds most remote restaurants. The next day we will explore and learn about the capital with it's colonial harbour. This tour is perfect introduction to Nuuk and will help you understand more of the people and the history of Greenland.

We visit during the summer months and can thus experience the burst of seasonal flora that caused the early voyagers to name it Greenland.

You can learn more about Greenland with our profile.  For more details about how you might like to Discover Greenland’s history and culture then please click the ‘Top 5’ or ‘Itinerary’ buttons above!

The Odyssey difference

Small enough to experience more

One dinner table, shared experience

Our groups are deliberately small enough to dine together around one table—an intimate way to get to know fellow travellers, whether you join as a couple or on your own.

Access that larger groups miss

A smaller group can visit more intimate venues, stay in characterful places, and reach experiences that are often impractical for larger coach parties.

Time to understand a place

Expert Program Leaders and local guides add depth, while a considered pace leaves room to explore, rest, or follow your curiosity.

Overview: We take the evening Air Iceland flight from Reykjavik (domestic airport) to Nuuk. From here, we will be picked up and transferred to our accommodation. Our standard rooms will be of smaller sizes, but comfortable and clean. We enjoy a late dinner at a nearby restaurant. (D)

Overview: We enjoy breakfast in the hotel.  We are picked up for a guided boat tour and whale watching trip in Nuup Kangerlua, where you can see icebergs and waterfalls. There is the possibility of visiting the abandoned settlement of Qoornoq where people can stretch their legs and look at the old abandoned buildings. We then head via the opening of the Icefjord and past a mythical cliff called Pisissarfik and past a small island, where a stone has been marked by both the Inuit and viking culture. 15:30 Arrival Timmiannguit We throw lines to catch our own dinner. The lines will sink to around 100 meters depth, where we will be catching cod or redfish. 16:30 Arrival Qooqqut Nuan The freshly caught fish will be handed over to the chefs of Qooqqut Nuan, who will prepare the fish and serve it in a 3 course gourmet experience. 18:30 Departure from Qooqqut Nuan (B,L,D)

Overview: After breakfast, you will be taken on a little bus with an English and Danish speaking guide. The tour will visit the modern part of Nuuk, Qinngorput, as well as the old colonial harbour. In between we will go back through history, starting in the modern suburb of Qinngor-put going through Nuussuaq and the 1970’s roug-houses and apartments, then going through the older but also modern downtown, the Herenhut history, hospital and finally the old colonial harbour with Hans Egede’s house. This tour is perfect as an introduction to Nuuk and will help you understand more of the people and the history of Nu-uk and Greenland. Nuuk was the first place of the modern colonization. We will stop for a light lunch, before continuing on foot to the National Museum of Greenland.

The Museum was started in mid-1960's as the first museum in Greenland. The collections have expanded ever since, from excavations and with repatriated material from the Danish National Museum. The museum works with archaeology, recent history, arts and crafts.
Dinner is not included tonight, but the program leader will make sure that you are taken to a restaurant of your choice.
