Experience the classic Greenlandic mode of transport – the dogsled! It’s the means of transport the old Inuit employed to get from A to B, and it’s still a popular and safe mode of transport.
Explore the magical snow-clad landscape, head up steep inclines and through difficult terrain which your four-legged furry friends are trained to be able to navigate in.
Arctic Wonderland Tours gives you a proper introduction to the classic Greenlandic mode of transport – the dogsled! It’s the means of transport the old Inuit employed to get from A to B, and it’s still a popular and safe mode of transport.
It may look easier than it is in reality as the driver’s position on the wooden sled has a great influence on speed and mobility.
As an example, Arctic Wonderland Tours has trips to the Apusiajik glacier, which means ‘small glacier’, and full-day trips in the Kulusuk area. The trips start from where you’re staying and include various stops en route.
On the website you can see a video of dogsled driving.

Steep inclines and hilly snow-clad landscapes require alternative methods, and in this case the snowmobile provides the ultimate expression of freedom! The difficult terrain and dramatic and hilly landscapes are part of the entertainment and make your ride on a snowmobile even more fun.
With Arctic Wonderland Tours you get a proper introduction to the vehicle and a guide will accompany you on your trip. You head out through a fantastically varied winter landscape to the small settlement of Tiniteqilaaq at Sermilik fjord. The guide knows the area and the “rules of the road” should you meet a dogsled.
Skiing in the winter and hiking in the summer. Put on the correct boots depending on the season. The routes are numerous and varied. Arctic Wonderland Tours has good knowledge of the area.
in Kulusuk
East Greenland’s countryside invites you to experience magnificent hiking adventures in unspoilt landscape. Go on a hike in the Kulusuk region.
Start with a short guided tour of the small settlement of Kulusuk and greet people and animals. You’ll see hunters and fishermen gutting their fish and cleaning animal skins in the small service building.
Follow the good advice from Arctic Wonderland Tours, which has a thorough knowledge of the area. Kulusuk is an island and a settlement, and you can go on short, relaxing walks lasting a couple of hours or considerably more rigorous hikes in the fells and on mountainsides.
in Tasiilaq
The area near Tasiilaq is ideal hiking country. Blomsterdalen in the vicinity of Arctic Wonderland Tours’ hotel in Tasiilaq is a delightful destination – a beautiful and lush valley with a luxurious and varied range of small yet breathtakingly beautiful Arctic flowers. Experiencing this type of fauna in the landscape at such northerly latitudes is really something else.
The route to the valley follows a narrow path, but it isn’t a demanding route and there’s plenty of time to stop and enjoy the surroundings. The hike lasts around 1-2 hours.
East Greenland is known for its beautiful handicrafts. At Arctic Wonderland Tours you can easily satisfy your need for souvenirs. The range of products on the company’s website provides just a taste of what the shop has in stock.
In the shop that’s adjacent to the hotel building you can buy small tupilaks, which in former times were used to invoke both good and evil spirits. There are also fur products, cups, T-shirts, jackets and sweaters, as well as jewellery, maps and much more besides.
The vast majority of products are produced with respect for authentic craftsmanship. This means that natural products from the surrounding area have been used.
The icebergs tower majestically above the boat while you float by – approximately 100 metres in height and around nine times bigger below the waterline. Icebergs are nature’s unique works of art and are found in all shapes and sizes. You’ll experience them regardless of which trips you choose.
in Kulusuk
If you love unique scenery then a boat trip in the local waters really is a must. Get up close to some of Greenland’s unforgettable glaciers, including a trip to the Apusiaajik Glacier, where you sail amongst icebergs and ice floes.
