The kayak, for example, is Greenland’s national symbol, and you can take tours in one. Periodically, there are dancing and musical shows by the natives of Qaanaaq. If you want to purchase souvenirs, remember that whale ivory, including scrimshaw, might be restricted. Find out about the necessary permits before embarking.
If you’re an animal lover, you can take tours to see polar bears and seals. You might even spot a sea eagle or raven with your binoculars.
