Frequently Asked Questions

  • How much does an Artic tour in Greenland cost?

    At TourRadar, prices for Arctic tours in Greenland can begin at USD 5,500 and go on to exceed USD 13,000. Prices vary depending on length, activities, and season. 

  • What languages are spoken in Greenland?

    Around 50,000 people (85-90% of the total population) speak West Greenlandic, also known as Kalaallisut, a language closely related to the Inuit languages in Canada. East Greenlandic is spoken by around 3,000 people, and North Greenlandic by about 1,000 people. The remainder of the population speaks Danish.

  • What is the best time to travel to Greenland?

    That depends entirely on what you'd like to do in Greenland. Most visitors come in winter or summer. Winter is perfect for seeing the Northern Lights and dogsledding. However, some places are hardly accessible during winter due to harsh conditions. Over summer, Greenland pampers its visitors with the midnight sun, a phenomenon during which the sun doesn't set. Because of warmer temperatures, summer is the best time for wildlife sightings, such as whale watching.

  • What's the best place in Greenland to see the Northern Lights?

    Located on the west coast of Greenland, the settlement of Kangerlussuaq and its surroundings are considered one of the best (and most accessible) places in Greenland to see the Northern Lights, boasting more than 300 clear nights per year! Many tours include Kangerlussuaq so make sure to check the tour itinerary.

Tips for your Greenland adventure

✓ Use the word ‘Inuit’ instead of ‘Eskimo’ as it is considered derogatory.
✓ Try some Greenlandic coffee. It’s mixed with whisky, Grand Marnier and Kahlúa.
✓ Refrain from comparing the locals to the Danish; Greenlanders are very particular about their identity.
✓ Days are very long in summer due to the midnight sun. Ensure that you get enough sleep!
✓ Northern Lights are dependent on solar activity and cloud cover.
✓ Bring rainproof and windproof clothing and heavy-duty footwear and that will last you the entire trip.
✓ Refrain from negative remarks about whale and seal hunting activities. Greenland has a self-sustaining ecosystem.
