Saqqaq, Greenland Cruises

Saqqaq, Greenland Cruise Port

• Thanks to its ancient roots, you can visit the remains of dwellings leftover from Saqqaq's original settlers. As evidence of their being able to physically adapt to the environment, they lived in small tents and used tools made of agate, quartzite, and other rock types. To the west is a hidden lagoon with the remains of a turf house.
   
• If time permits, take a dogsled adventure to the Lyngmark glacier (although trips can be as short as a few hours). This unforgettable experience gives you an idea of the amazing relationship between dogs and driver, and the passenger can sit back and enjoy the sights fly by.
   
• The sea around Greenland seems to have an endless number of whales, among them minke whales, fin whales, and humpback whales. Take a whale safari with a seasoned skipper and you're sure to spot the majestic creatures against a backdrop of equally majestic icebergs.
   
• Hikers can walk up Livets Top Mountain, which not only is great exercise but provides stunning views along the way. There are good routes to follow, and you might come across old settlements along the way.
