About Iceland
Iceland is a refreshingly unconventional travel destination. The Icelandic nature is unspoilt, exotic and mystical with its spouting geysers, active volcanoes, tumbling waterfalls, towering mountains, vast lava plains and magical lakes. Iceland’s fjords, glaciers and highland plains present visitors with some of the most beautiful and enchanting places they will ever see, as well as a rare feeling of utter tranquillity.

For travelers on a quest for action, Iceland’s pristine nature offers great potential for outdoor activities such as snowmobiling, horse riding, cave exploring, hiking, swimming, skiing, river rafting, kayaking and mountain safaris on modified four-wheel drives, to name but a few. Iceland supports a surprisingly diverse Nordic flora and fauna and is an ideal place for ornithology enthusiasts, while also offering some of the world’s best whale watching destinations.

About Reykjavik
Reykjavík sometimes feels like a cosmopolitan capital and a tiny seaside village - all wrapped up in one. But Reykjavík has the best of both worlds; the qualities of a modern, forward-looking society complemented by a close connection to Iceland‚s beautiful and unspoilt nature.

Reykjavík’s legendary nightlife is bolstered by plentiful cultural and social happenings in addition to an abundance of first-class restaurants. The size of Reykjavik city centre is also limited enough to allow for easy navigation by foot. Reykjavík has been described as a young and daring city that is characterized by strong contrasts. Conveniently small, clean and safe, it is more or less free from the major problems that haunt many other capitals. Big city events are frequent, the winter lights festival finished recently with thousands of participants and more tourist at this time of the year than we are used to.

Itinerary

Kulusuk island is situated west of the entrance to the stunning Ammassalik fjord. In the area around the fjord is the main settlement of the Ammassalik Eskimos, who were unknown to the rest of the world until 1884.

Now more than 2,000 Greenlanders live in the Ammassalik district, earning their living by fishing and seal hunting.

We take off from Reykjavík Airport with our knowledgeable guides who inform us during the two-hour flight about the exciting day that lies ahead. On arrival at Kulusuk, we are escorted by our guides for a 30-minute walk down to the village itself, with short stops en route to take in the magnificent scenery.

There is time to stroll around the village itself, purchase hand made craft articles or even strike up an acquaintance with some of Kulusuk's 360 inhabitants. Weather permitting, we see a demonstration of kayak rowing and the ancient drum dance which disappeared a long time ago on Greenland's west coast but is still kept alive by a few people on the east coast.

On our return flight to Reykjavík we enjoy a spectacular view over Ammassalik village and its neighbourhood where the scenery is magnificent and huge glaciers and floating icebergs can be seen.

Finally we are given a certificate as well as a stamp in our passports acknowledging our visit to Kulusuk.
