- TishLondonHorsham, UK463 contributionsA short boat ride takes you to this very peaceful place with some simple ruins. Good photographic opportunities. Our visit was at the end of July and the midges were man eaters, even through clothing. We had very stupidly left our repellent and head nets on our cruise ship.Written August 15, 2018This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- antheabakerLoughborough, UK23 contributionsThis was a lovely inexpensive thing to do. I loved seeing the old kayaks and tools. The museum consists of two buildings which are close together. You can pay by card in the main museum.Written August 19, 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- Ginny FWahroonga, Australia252 contributionsA delightful and quirky place full of lovely people. This was the coldest place we visited on our world cruise, much icier than Iceland. It is hugely expensive , one pack of biscuits was $8AUD. It is a photographers dream.Written September 23, 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- Rebecca MSpringfield, IL109 contributionsWe arrived in Qaqortoq on HAL Voyage of the Vikings cruise. This is a small village with beautiful, colorful buildings. We walked toward the visitors center and when the lake came into view, we headed toward the trail on the left side (as we were facing the lake). Initially the trail is very wide, almost like a rocky road and we encountered many friendly locals, some of who were picking something on the side of the hill (maybe small berries). As we continued, the trail became less evident and started up a rocky mountainous area around the back (far) side of the lake. There were a few areas where we were unsure how to continue, but as we got further along, we noticed that there were pink arrows and splotches of paint on the rocks marking the trail. It was a beautiful day, warmer than expected, which was nice; but also made for more bugs. We did have head nets, thankfully and did put them to use. We passed a few couples along the way, mostly from our ship and an excursion led by a guide. Our ship did offer this as an excursion for $60-70pp, but this is doable on your own, if in good shape and have time. This is a moderately strenuous hike, with elevation and very rocky ground. It did take us over 3 1/2 hours to complete and we had some achy calves and arches when finished. Be sure and take some water and possibly a head net! Be sure to stop and rest and take in the amazing views along the way as well. The end of the trail (for us) took us into the other side of town, where we checked out the church, the fountain, the fish market and carvings of fish and whales in the rocks.Written October 3, 2019This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- TAMAN1951Liberty Lake, WA6,706 contributionsWell maintained building and an impressive building.
Worth a quick stop and peek inside.
Nothing fancy but interesting to see the Christian influence in this remote region.Written September 20, 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

Short walk from the dock and totally functional.
Worth a few minutes to enjoy and even has benches to take a bit of a rest.Written September 20, 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

Sometimes you can be there when there is choir practice.Written March 18, 2020This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- dbinhou7511Houston, TX1,657 contributionsA place to get Greenland souvenirs and get information about where to go in the area. There may also be local vendors outside with their particular handmade wares. Good place to go for information and get oriented.Written March 13, 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Axel Hey1 contributionThey had cancelled our helicopter without telling us. We only found out when we were in the airport without a ride. When we called them they offered no help.Written August 27, 2022This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
