In the afternoon, you have the option to join a guided hike on Tele Island (Sallinnguit), where you’ll gain insight into 4,000 years of Greenlandic history and see traces of Inuit life and their encounters with European traders. Alternatively, you can visit the sled dog village to get up close to Greenlandic sled dogs – and perhaps even meet some puppies. The evening can be rounded off with dinner at the hotel or in town.
