Experience the ultimate highlights of South Greenland and the Arctic nature. This tour will take you around the Golden Triangle of South Greenland covering most aspects of Greenland history and everyday life in the Arctic. Beautiful fjords with icebergs, calving glaciers, the Inland Ice Cap, historic ruins from the Viking Age, fertile valleys with sheep farms, isolated fishing settlements, modern towns, seals and whales - and even Northern Light. Visit the village of Alluitsup Paa, founded as a trading station in 1830, the largest village in the district of Nanortalik, with nearly 500 inhabitants. Alluitsup Paa is in many ways very unique: In spite of its location the village is similar - except for the sledge dogs - to villages in the Disko Bay Area. Join optional excursions to the hot springs of Uunnartoq, which have been the centre of human activity throughout history. At Uunnartoq itself there is a natural bathing pool at 37°C! Further north you find the former Moravian mission station at Lichtenau in the Lichtenau Fjord. Continue on an exciting cruise by Coastal Steamer through beautiful Eric's Fjord to Narsarsuaq.

Choices of excursions are many: Eric the Red's Viking Ruins, Qassiarsuk and Tasiusaq, the village of Igaliku, Qooroq Icefjord, Hiking to the Ice Cap, or a city tour of Narsarsuaq.
