After breakfast at the hotel we take an Arctic nature tour to try and see one of the world's biggest population of wild Musk Oxen living within close range of Kangerlussuaq. We drive by minibus to an area where there will be possibilities to see musk oxen and reindeer. (Please note that we are going into the wilderness; it is not a zoo. We cannot guarantee to see the animals, but the viewing rate is generally high). You can spend the rest of the day on some optional excursions:

The Inland Ice Cap (4-5 hours) A true Arctic experience and almost like travelling back in time to the Ice Age. We drive along the mountain track and partly off-road directly to the Greenland Inland Ice Cap - passing through the impressive Arctic landscape such as former glacier valleys, the Arctic desert, along frozen rivers and over small passes - before stopping next to a 3-million cubic kilometers lump of ice. Costs provided are an approximation and subject to change price per person: DKK 700

Dog sledge Experience (2 hours) On a 2-hour tour you will - together with your Greenland driver and his pack of Greenland huskies - have the unique experience of travelling like the Inuit have been doing for centuries. - there can be up to 3 persons per sledge. Rent of fur clothes and boots are included in the price. Only operated when there is snow - expected from early January to late March. You must be in a good physical shape to join a dog sledge tour. Costs provided are an approximation and subject to change Per person: DKK 2100 (2 pax pr. sledge), DKK 1400 (3 pax. pr. sledge)
