Any intrepid travelers out there? Greenland help please!


My husband & I are trying to plan a sidetrip to Greenland from Iceland in August. This is my husbands dream as he often gets mistaken for being Greenlandic (he's not) and he wants to visit *his people*.

I have contacted Iceland adventure.com, but get no response.

Does anyone have any other recommendations for an outfitter that could help us?
Thanks

Are you going to the West or East coast? How long? What help do you need from an 'outfitter'?

When I searched for 'greenland tour' on google, I got a lot of companies that do Greenland tours.

Thanks fo the replies.

We are looking for a package of 1 or 2 nights in Greenland - doesn't matter what coast. My husband just wants to address his curiosity and meet some of the people there.
We'll be in Reykjavik. I tried the Greenland air website, but putting a package together by myself in Danish seems daunting.
I guess I am looking for an outfitter that someone has actually used and can recommend. On another thread Iceland adventures was recommended, but as I said they are not responding to my emails.
Any advice appreciated!

We took the one day trip to Kulusuk and it was memorable.

As far as I can see, airiceland does only the East coast, with an overnight at Amassalik which is near Kulusuk. The population on the East coast is very small.

Air Greenland, http://www.greenland-guide.gl/gla/ (English) has flights to the West coast from Reykjavik.

http://www.greenland-travel.com/ seems helpful.

I'm sure we would all enjoy a trip report when you get back.

As an update, I did finally get a response from Icelandadventure.com, and they have organized a 3 day 2 night trip to Greenland, ending with Cultural night and the Marathon in Reykjavic.

Once I got an initial response, they were easy to work with.

Will write a trip report upon our return.

Anyone with a restaurant recommendation for the night before the Marathon in Reykjavic?
