We Travelled to Qaqortoq, Greenland On A Cruise Ship! This Was Unexpected!

This is one of the most UNEXPECTED countries we'd ever thought we'd visit. After ticking off our bucket list destination, Iceland, a few days ago, it's crazy to think we were then about to tick off GREENLAND! What the heck!? Ludvig and I both brainstormed, and realised that we don't know any body who's been here before...
Today, we head to one of the best places to visit in Greenland, Qaqortoq. Welcome to Qaqortoq! Pronounced “Kak or tock” ..we think, although we may butcher that word throughout this video… Qaqortoq is the fifth-largest town in greenland, and with 3000 inhabitants, it’s biggest town in southern Greenland. It boasts that classic picturesque landscape that you would imagine when thinking of this unique country. Steep rolling hills dotted with brightly coloured houses, that looked like little legos, 18th century colonial buildings, interesting stone carvings and some of the smiliest people you can imagine.
Oh, and the fun doesn't end there... next up, we visit an even more AMAZING part of Greenland! You do NOT wanna miss this episode...

Hej hej allihopa! ("Hey everyone" in Swedish) We are Chloé, the Kiwi, and Ludvig, the Swede. We met at a Ski Resort in Canada and have since been travelling the whole world together. So far... we got engaged in the snowy mountains, hiked through Norway, flown a propeller plane around Sweden, visited 20 (ish) US states, cruised through the Mediterranean, Iceland and Greenland, road tripped through the whole of New Zealand in a campervan and now we're in the process of moving to CANADA! Phew! Clearly we hate the word boring.

Omg those are my dogs! The yellow one and the dark one in the background, the puppy was my sister in laws😍

NO WAY!! Haha that is SO CRAZY! Wow, we were absolutely obsessed with your doggies! They made our whole day haha! How cool that you ended up watching this video!

[@carinaolesen1469]

They are the best! The yellow is named Lille which means ‘little’. The dark one is Gringu, he is named after the German Shepherd we had when I was a baby. It’s so funny to suddenly see our dogs on KZbin. So cool!

Greenland was incredible! I am so excited you get to experience it too!!❤️ enjoy!!

Enjoyed your video. I’ll be visiting Greenland and Iceland next month. Qaqortoq is on the itinerary. Now the town will look a little familiar. I understand our ship provides bug nets to wear over a hat.

We live in Ilulissat for our third year now. Husband with Munck building a new upgraded airport so bigger planes can land here? I love your video and your excitement seeing and experiencing everything! Reminds me so much of us when we arrived here! Greenland is just an amazing country! So so beautiful! You must come and visit Ilulissat! Third largest town with 5000 inhabitants and 3000 greenlandic sled dogs! You will love it here! We also have the most productive fjord in the northern hemisphere and a UNESCO World heritage site! Takuss! ❤

Oh my goodness, that's awesome! Wow, where were you before Greenland? We loved it there and definitely have it on our list of places to visit again! Ilulissat is going on there! :D

Great video. Did you visit any other towns in Greenland except Qaqortoq?

[@chloeandludvig]

Thank you! We didn’t - just Qaqortoq. Our second day in Greendland was the cruise through Prince Christian Sound which was incredible!

[@ericwilkerson3208]

Glad you made it. Many of us have tried several times by Cruise Ship and also by Air but have had our trips and and tours cancelled due to bad weather and "other" extenuating circumstances. If you book a trip to Greenland its as likely as not that you will not make it.

[@chloeandludvig]

Oh really? I didn't know it was such a tough place to get to! In that case, I am very happy we made it! :)

Are those bugs there year round or are they seasonal. They would drive me insane!

[@chloeandludvig]

I’m not sure if it is a year round thing! You do kinda get used to it after a while, and they sell some trendy mosquito head nets ;) we were here in September

[@threeexthreeisnine8204]

The mosquitos are here from spring to autumn. Qaqortoq has them, Narsaq the nearby smaller town not so much. We don't almost have them in Qassiarsuk (Brattahliđ).
