Unique opportunity to visit the pristine UNESCO site. Mini Cruise and hike in cultural-historical mountain scenery in the archipelago south of Sisimiut. Aasisisuit - Nipisat is a unique cultural landscape from the ice cap through the vast reindeer hunting areas in the inland to the fjords and even the islands known for the many prehistoric settlements. The area is rich on cultural heritage from Inuit's history in West Greenland through 4,500 years, including memories of special events between the Dutch and Danish/ Norwegian whalers that make the area significant in a North Atlantic history.

The hike will also take you to the site where the colonists had their 2nd colony in Greenland and were struggling to hunt whales and staying out of trouble with the Dutch whale hunters.
