Viking Greenland for 4 or 5 days!

You have some choice how long to stay in south Greenland -but all options have a similar structure - you leave the US on an overnight flight to Iceland, then take a shuttle to the Reykjavik airport and board an Air Iceland flight to Narsasuaq. From there you’ll travel by boat to Narsaq. Upon arrival you’ll be in the care of guides from Arctic Adventure. They’ll get you to your hotel, and help you decide upon and book the optional excursions.There are many ways to explore and experience southern Greenland - by land, by water and from the air. So the hardest part may be deciding what to see -but they will all serve to show you the part of Greenland that is richest in Viking age history, in addition to the traditional Inuit culture. After your days in Greenland you’ll return to Iceland for an overnight (you can add more!!) and then back home. Easy and extraordinary!!
