Mission

About us

We are a dedicated team that has been living and working in Greenland for many years! Greenland is in our blood, and we love to share our passion with you.

In addition to running our lovely guesthouse we offer tours all around Greenland. If you need assistance to organizing your Greenland Adventure outside Ilulissat, please have a look at our other company, “Arctic Friend”.

We look forward to welcome you in Ilulissat. 

 

OUR VISION

Unique experiences in Greenland

Our vision is to provide our guests with a unique experience in Greenland, where you can immerse yourself in the untouched nature and culture firsthand.

We hope you will enjoy the laid-back atmosphere of our place. You won´t find any TV in our Guesthouse, but don´t worry, there is plenty to observe! Simply look out the window and you will see icebergs, the sky changing colors, and perhaps even witness the Northern Lights or whales passing by.

Here, you will find the time to contemplate your thoughts, share your travel stories with fellow travellers, and take a break far away from the hectic world beyond the Arctic.
