There is not much to do in Kulusuk without money
In a nutshell
A really interesting place to visit.
See the domesticated wolf of Kulusuk
jumpingnorman Says: We were walking to the town of Kulusuk (only 300 people live there) from the small tiny airport and we heard some howling-like noises in the morning air...I associated such howlings with nightimes and so when another tourists from Singapore asked what it was, I said, "Oh,...
Send postcards to your VT friends from Greenland
jumpingnorman Says: My VT friend SLLiew has an amazing postcard collection, and he does say that Greenland postcards are hard to come by. So, once I landed in this remote town of Kulusuk with only 300 inhabitants, I was weary if there was a post office. As soon as we landed in the small airport...
Buy the Tupilak handicrafts of great quality
jumpingnorman Says: Kulusuk has craftsmen who use animal horns and teeth for these intricate art pieces called Tupilaks - very high quality. If you have a guide, you will be brought to a little house which sells these items and this also serves as a little museum with a kayak made of sealskin...
Pass by the Kulusuk Cemetery and pay respects
jumpingnorman Says: Well, if you follow the route going to the village settlement of Kulusuk which used to be the most populated in the Ammassalik area (year 1930) with 165 people, you will pass by the cemetery. It is a collection of white crosses with very colorful flowers and with the...
Watch Drum Dance and Kayaking in Greenland
jumpingnorman Says: We were 18 in the group who flew in that day, and we were treated to a nice Drum Dance which they said would be cancelled if the weather was bad. But we were lucky the weather was so magnificent and I knew we were going to have the show.An Inuit man was there and he did not...
jumpingnorman Says: There are only 300 (316 to be exact) inhabitants in Kulusuk. And they do have a Church with the image of Christ -- looks like Christianity has also reached this part of the world. But they do mix their religions, and weddings are made in this Church but in Inuit Style....
inuit Says: The Kayak is a Greenlandic word meaning a hunting boat. Usually only men are aloud to use it. The Umiak is a big boat used mainly by men or women for many purposes like migrating. Inuit people of Kulusuk and Ammassalik still make their living from hunting seals, whales and...

Air Iceland Fokker from Reykjavik to Greenland
jumpingnorman Says: This is one of the best flights I've ever had - taking the Fokker 50 plane from the domestic airport (REF) of Reykjavik and going on a two hour flight to Kulusuk. This is an amazing tour being offered to tourists through Air Iceland, and for the whole day adventure, I paid...
Boat Trip from Kap Dan to Airport
Vic5 Says: You can purchase tickets for a boat trip in Kap Dan's souvenir shop. It's a good way to get back to the airport, passing icebergs on the way. It was extremely cold though!!
Kulusuk Airport: The Airport Store in Kulusuk, Greenland
jumpingnorman Says: Conveniently, once you arrive in Kulusuk, there is a gift shop and immediately, I went to it and bought postcards because I was not sure if there would be any more in the little town or if I'll have time to buy...(actually, they did sell some postcards at the tininie...
The Grocery?: The Main Grocery of Kulusuk, Greenland
jumpingnorman Says: Well, after sending my postcards to VTers, I went to the adjacent grocery which is actually the main shopping event in this little towm of 300 people, Kulusuk. I did pay via my credit card but I had to know my pin number.I looked around the store for gifts or souvenirs but...
Local sellers; Trading Post: Tupilaq
Kalexus Says: There are no real shops in Kulusuk except the trading post. Tupilaqs are generally bought either at the trading post or from local sellers, who spot you as a tourist (and therefore potential tupilaq buyer) and will show you the tupilaqs they have made. Hotel Kulusuk might...
Mentally Challenged Lady and Tolerance
jumpingnorman Says: Kulusuk has only about 316 inhabitants as of a recent official count. When I was there and after leaving the tupilak store, a lady approached me and she looked like she was inebriated. Was she or was she mentally challenged. She was asking for something and maybe it was...
Friendly people! Sit with them...
jumpingnorman Says: I was walking at the unpaved road of Kulusuk and you would pass by this bench were a few of the local men were, watching the tourists as they pass by. I passed them twice and they were still looking at me and so I decided, that was it. I was going up to them and say HI. Of...
Kulusuk with your kids or if with disability
jumpingnorman Says: I think everybody can visit a place if they really want to...but just be forewarned about some difficulties you may encounter during your visit to Kulusuk if you have a child with you or if you have a disability.We did not have any disabled people in our group but I think...
Avoid sharp rock surfaces by the snow....I didn't!
jumpingnorman Says: Ouch! I was so intent on taking pictures and jumping from on eplacve to another that I did not notice that my hand scratched on of the rocks in Kulusuk - and wow, they were sharp!I am not sure if they were lava rocks, but I did notice that a lot of the rocks on the ground...
mmcginty Says: The trip is very cool but you might want to bring something to eat and something to drink. There is only one store in town and they do not have much in the way of snacks. Definitely bring a camera because the scenery is amazing. If you are part of the tour group then just...
inuit Says: Even in summer the bays and fjords around Kulusuk and Ammassalik are full with icebergs and pack ice that block the way out of the fjord. The best time visit this area is late July and August in summer so you can go by boat out of the bay or March and April in winter than...
