Booking a trip to Greenland

by Saagar

Booking of comparatively cheap travels to Greenland, can normally not be done through your local travel agencies where you live, and can best be done through Danish travel agents.The thing to do is to check Greenland Tourist's internet pages, and you will see or get faxed (upon request) a list of travel agencies doing all-inclusive packages as well as simple "a la carte" bookings. Just a few of these travel agencies seem to be fully involved and seriously interested in Greenland travels. You can also book directly with the travel agencies / "tourist offices" in the Greenland towns you'd like to visit - you'll find them on the internet - and they'll fix your air and ship tickets to and fro, too. Fax, phone and e-mail works very well to Greenland. No hitch.Some veteran agencies with foreign origin very sympatethic to Greenland such as Elke Meissner's in Ilulissat since the 70ies can be...

Cost of flying to Greenland

by Saagar

The cost of flying (cheapest rates) from Copenhagen to Kangerlussuaq (north at the west coast polar circle) or Narsarsuaq (in the south) is about 4500-5000 DKR return. Internal return flights from Kangerlussuaq to -Ilulissat or Nuuk will come to about 3000 DKR. Roughly speaking a domestic 45 min -1 hr flight will come to about 1500 DKR one way.Total air travel cost to an outlying city return from Denmark will thus be minimum 7-8000 DKR.

Not flying? Take the ship!

by Saagar

If you have the time for it, or not the money to fly, use the ships plying the Greenland west coast. This is a common and interesting form of local transport, which gives you free sightseeing as a bonus.

by bdbrewer

Most tour companys can help you out with this. Of course you will fly in. The friendly VT page will give you the information you will need to arrange your accomodations.You have a choice of regular vehicles. But, of course there are always the dog sleds.

by Tahiti_Bob

There are virtually no roads in Greenland (just too many snow, ice and fjords to cross). The only way to go from place to place is with boats (small ferrys or fishermen's boats), airplanes or helicopters.

by inuit

Geting to Greenland u can from Copenhagen by a direct flight to Kangerlesuaq on the west side. There are few flights every week by SAS or by Air Greenland.At summer there is a daily fligt (beside Sunday) from Reikjavik (Iceland) to Kulusuk on the east coast.In winter dosg sledging is the only way to get around (if u dont use helicopters). The Greenlandic dogs are raised and trained to carry the Inuit sledges and they start doing it since age of six months and finish their life in age of five. They are not pats animals like we in western society see dogs. You have to get it into mind before joining hunters expedition on the frozen sea.
