Boat excursions in Qaqortoq (Min 2)

Located in South Greenland, Hvalsø is home to the largest, most renowned, and well-preserved Norse ruin in Greenland. This historic site holds great significance as part of South Greenland's UNESCO World Heritage Listed area.

Dating back to the early 1300s, Hvalsø church ruin stands as a testament to the introduction of Christianity in Greenland around 1,000 AD. It was relatively larger compared to other churches of that time in Greenland.

Notably, the last recorded Norse event in Greenland was a wedding mentioned in 1408, marking an important historical milestone.

On this excursion, enjoy a delightful half-hour cruise from Qaqortoq through the picturesque fjord. The tranquil waters, shielded from the open sea, offer a serene experience surrounded by towering mountains and lush green fields.
