From the moment your guests disembark in Nanortalik, we give them the local experience they need. It is not a coincidence that we only employ local guides with deep Greenlandic roots who knows the local area and its history. From guided tours – both on land on sea – to cultural experiences with local entertainment, your guests will see Greenland from a cultural perspective. We feel privileged to be surrounded by the beautiful nature which the south has become known for, and we want to show it to everyone.
