Greenland Short Breaks

Greenland is a true wilderness destination comprising magnificent scenery, fascinating people and a surprising variety of flora and fauna – perfect if you’re looking for a short break off-the-beaten-track.

Dominated by a vast icecap, Greenland is largely uninhabitable with very few roads – meaning that transportation between settlements is largely by air or sea. Given such logistical considerations, our short break holidays in Greenland last 4-6 nights and depart between May and September.

Our Greenland short breaks are designed to give the perfect introduction to this vast country – whether you explore the east coast district of Ammassalik, the west coast and Disko Bay (based in Ilulissat), or Narsarsuaq and Qaqortoq in the south.
