Trying to find tours for Qaqortoq, any ideas?? Princess doesn't even have it listed in their shore excursions brochure!:confused:
Hi Carol and Jim,
The best tour in Qaqortoq is the launch ride over from the ship. There are no organized shore excursions because there is really nowhere to go! A couple of locals have a couple of six seater vans and do private "tours" for a few bucks but they don't go outside the small town itself because there are no roads out. There is some nice rock art just above the dock area, a short walk to the only fountain in Greenland and a little community hall where local kids usually put on a free show. Apart from that it's best to just have a quick walk around and then get in line for the launch back to the ship. The lines usually form quite quickly. Basically, the thrill of a stop in Qaqortoq is just to say you've stood on Greenland! Go to http://www.greenland.com for more info.
