Enjoy an opportunity to meet the local people of the remote settlement of Aappilattoq, in Southern Greenland. The settlement is located on a small peninsula by the Illua fjord. The settlement has been inhabited since the 19th century, originally founded as a trading post in 1922, the main economy remains hunting and fishing today.
Around 100 people call this settlement home and today you will have the unique chance to meet some of them for a traditional coffee-mik, a celebration with coffee, tea and cakes, which is customarily reserved for large celebrations such as weddings, birthdays or perhaps a cruise ship visit! Chat with the locals and find out what life is like living in this remote community.
After visiting the folk house, explore the settlement on your own, have a stroll among the colorfully painted homes and enjoy the breathtaking vistas afforded you by being in this remote destination.
Please note: Wherever Included Experience tours are offered, guests are allowed to participate in only one included experience per call unless otherwise specified in the tour description. The Expedition Team will advise your booked included experience departure time onboard and will try to accommodate your booked optional excursions or optional expeditions accordingly. If a timing conflict occurs guests should anticipate to participate on their booked optional experience or optional expedition and forgo the included experience. The level of guide experience varies due to the remoteness of the location. Limited tourism infrastructure is part of the charm here, and you are trading breadth of experience for authentic interaction. Please bring your spirit of adventure and bear with any language difficulties your guide may encounter and with any operational surprises that may crop up. Please be sure to book your included experience in advance as space may be limited on your specific choice.
