Covid-19 info - Greenland Tours

Tours
Activities
Exploring Greenland in general can be done all year, but main season is from June to September. Dog sledding in Greenland is available from January to April, but from February to March you enjoy the perfect mix of snow, daylight and northern lights. To see Northern Lights is possible from September to end of March, from February to March it is great to combine with dog sledding. Into the mountains, along deep cut ice fjords - trekking and hiking in Greenland is available in July & August. Adventure is always available in Greenland, but most activities are offered from February to April or June to September. The coastal ship braves the seas all year, though most sailing tours run from June to September. Follow Inuit tradition and head out by kayak, done best from June to September. Meeting the giants is possible all year, but most tours run from June to September.
Regions
Giant icebergs, small settlements and a great variety of tours make this the ideal place if you visit Greenland the first time. Steep mountains, deep fjords and giant icebergs offer the perfect playground for kayaking, sailing and hiking adventures. Lush farmlands, jagged mountains and several icefjords invite for adventure, sightseeing and hiking tours. Best access to the ice sheet and musk oxen roaming the backlands of Kangerlussuaq make this a great stop-over on your way to Disko Bay or Nuuk. If you think Greenland itself is not far away enough, head further to Scoresbysund and be blown away by its sheer grandeur. Nuuk, the capital of Greenland is surprisingly metropolitan with a secret hinterland calling for adventures.

Current travel opportunities to Greenland:

Denmark opened its borders to most EU & Schengen countries as well as to selected countries outside the Schengen area. More countries are added continuously and a list can be found here. These travellers are permitted to transit in Denmark to reach Greenland. The Danish travel restrictions are also valid for Greenland.

On June 15, 2020 Greenland started to open its borders cautiously. As of 21st of July until 31st of December 2020, the Greenlandic government has announced a new phase of reopening, which allows travellers to enter Greenland, visiting 10 major towns and touristic places (e.g Ilulissat, Nuuk, Kangerlussuaq and Narsarsuaq), with certain restrictions, but without the necessity of quarantine upon arrival nor requiring retesting in Greenland any longer. To enter Greenland, tourists need to show a negative COVID-19 PCR test result, not older than 5 days, and a filled SUMUT form, containing information of their trip in Greenland. The lab where the test was made, needs to be certified by the Greenlandic authorities.

Our clients, who are having their trip to Greenland upcoming in August and September, will be contacted by us directly to discuss their possibilities for their trip to Greenland.
