The journey includes:<\/strong><\/p>\n Staying at Hotel Sisimiut offers views of mountains and hiking trails. The hotel has its own restaurant and we recommend their Greenlandic buffet. Outside on the terrace you can sit in the hot tub with a view of the sky, followed by a sauna.<\/p>\n At Qimmerqarfik, you’ll get up close to the Greenlandic sled dogs and learn about their history, traditions and life with them. The pure genetic terms of dogs have remained largely unchanged over the last thousand years, and you can feel like you’re meeting the wolf in them when you get close to them.<\/p>\n From the hotel you drive to Parasuk Bay where a boat trip awaits and from the boat you have the opportunity to fish your lunch. The boat ride takes you along cliff walls and nature seems to unfold up close.<\/p>\n Once ashore, a hike of about 2 kilometers awaits you in a terrain of rocks, moss, and with water outlets and mountains on both our sides. On board the boat Sirius, you will sail to Assaqtuaq, which is not far from Sisimiut.<\/p>\n In the 1960s and 1970s, several small settlements in Greenland were abandoned as people moved to the larger cities for work. Assaqtuaq is one of these settlements, and historically, it can be seen as the link between the old Inuit culture and modern Greenlandic society.<\/p>\n On the tour you will cross a suspension bridge and over on the island you will be guided through the old buildings, from the old fish factory to the small church. It’s a special feeling to ride an ATV and experience the landscape behind Sisimiut. You’ll drive along plains, see the changing terrain, maybe snow in some places, and approach ridges where the views can be taken in.<\/p>\n Drive along dirt roads to the sled dog village, on to the small towns in the area and cross the local river with its crystal clear drinking water, and on to the airport runway, from where there are beautiful views of the bay and the city.<\/p>\n [vc_row type=”full_width_background” full_screen_row_position=”middle” column_margin=”default” column_direction=”default” column_direction_tablet=”default” column_direction_phone=”default” bg_color=”#ffffff” scene_position=”center” text_color=”dark” text_align=”left” row_border_radius=”none” row_border_radius_applies=”bg” overflow=”visible” overlay_strength=”0.3″ gradient_direction=”left_to_right” shape_divider_position=”bottom” bg_image_animation=”none” shape_type=””][vc_column column_padding=”no-extra-padding” column_padding_tablet=”inherit” column_padding_phone=”inherit” column_padding_position=”all” top_margin=”10″ column_element_direction_desktop=”default” column_element_spacing=”default” desktop_text_alignment=”default” tablet_text_alignment=”default” phone_text_alignment=”default” background_color_opacity=”1″…<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":11,"featured_media":2203,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[124,88,34,86,123,121,115,36,116,38,90,37],"tags":[],"class_list":{"0":"post-6273","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-art-and-culture","8":"category-atv-en","9":"category-central-greenland","10":"category-family-travel","11":"category-gastronomy","12":"category-hiking-tours","13":"category-nature-and-wildlife-en","14":"category-package-tours","15":"category-paddleboarding-en","16":"category-sisimiut-en","17":"category-spa-en","18":"category-summer"},"yoast_head":"\n\n

At Qimmerqarfik you have the unique opportunity to get close to the Greenlandic sled dogs. If puppies have arrived in the litter, it may even be possible to hold a little puppy in your arms.<\/p>\nBoat trip to Camp Cod<\/strong>, campfire and freshly caught fish<\/strong>.<\/h3>\n
\nAt Camp Cod there is camp, the newly caught fish are grilled over a fire, and there is time to explore the surrounding area. On the way back home, you have a full view from the waterside of the many colorful houses perched against the mountain Nasaasaq.<\/p>\n A guide is with you every step of the way to tell you about the places you see and arrive at.<\/p>\nBoat trip to the abandoned settlement of Assaqtuaq.<\/h3>\n
\nA large number of humpback whales have been spotted along the coast in recent years. They come here to feed on capelin, so it’s a good idea to keep an eye out for them on the water.<\/p>\n A guide is with you every step of the way and can tell you about the different parts of the tour.<\/p>\n<\/h3>\n
On ATV; experience the landscape behind Sisimiut.<\/h3>\n
You will be introduced to the ATV vehicle, safety and equipment before the trip. There are always guides on tour, and in Greenland you need a driver’s license to drive an ATV. If you don’t have one, it is possible to be a co-passenger instead of driving yourself.<\/p>\n[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text][\/vc_column_text][nectar_btn size=”large” button_style=”regular” button_color_2=”Accent-Color” icon_family=”default_arrow” text=”The trip can be customized according to your personal wishes.
