Discover Greenland | Greenland Small Group Tour
Odyssey offers easy, convenient, and relaxed escorted across Greenland and beyond to Iceland. We explore Greenland's fairy-tale natural beauty, and famous city, all with some truly all waiting to be explored on one of Odyssey’s small group .
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.
