Greenlandic Barbeque And Storytelling

OVERVIEW

Listen to fascinating stories about Nuuk’s heritage and local life while dining on grilled meats and other Greenlandic specialties. The venue for this entertaining adventure will be the Inuk Hostels, a collection of seaside cottages with a waterfront restaurant. The views will be spectacular, especially with towering Sermitsiaq mountain and a view of the coast in the distance. Once you settle in at the hostels, the guide will regale you with stories about the founding of Nuuk by a missionary in 1728 and how the city grew to become the capital of Greenland. You will also hear about the local cuisine, which revolves around the bounty of the sea, including protein-rich marine mammals such as seals.
