Visiting Kulusuk
Welcome to East Greenland!
Icelandair operates direct flights from Iceland to 4 destinations in Greenland. Just a short, 1-hour and 50-minute direct flight from Iceland's Keflavík Airport (KEF) takes you to the village of Kulusuk (KUS), situated on the island of the same name in East Greenland.
Both the airport and the village are very small, with a population of around 240 and limited services, although there is a hotel. Most travelers use Kulusuk as a springboard to the riches of the region.

Stop by artisan workshops to see some of Greenland's best carvers at work.
In Tasiilaq, the Ammassalik Museum can be found in the town's first church, close to the harbor. It gives good context to cultural heritage of East Greenland.
Summer and winter activities
The best times to visit East Greenland are June to September for boat trips, hiking, kayaking, and whale watching, and from February to April for dog-sledding, snowmobiling, ice fishing, skiing, snowshoeing, and catching the northern lights.
For a more relaxed vacation, boat tours run up the Ammassalik Fjord to several glaciers, the Sermilik Icefjord (one of the most active ice fjords in Greenland), traditional settlements, and an abandoned WWII airbase – all offering the potential for incredible iceberg viewing and whale watching.
