Reviews for Greenland photography tour, Uummannaq & Ilulissat
James Lay-Flurrie review 17 Mar 2025
1. What was the most memorable or exciting part of your holiday?
The travel to and from Uummannaq, and the time spent there.2. What tips would you give other travellers booking this holiday?
Book flights at least a day or 2 in advance of the start of the tour. The suggested flights for this year were arriving on the day, but if I had a better idea of the regular travel disruption in Greenland I would have left extra time to try and counter any delays3. Did you feel that your holiday benefited local people, reduced environmental impacts or supported conservation?
Not really. Most of the money spent would have gone to the hotels. Air travel in Greenland is the only practical way to get around with larger environmental impact4. Finally, how would you rate your holiday overall?
Excellent, an incredible adventure.Read the operator's response here:
Hi James
Thank you for your lovley review, it is very much appreciated. We noticed that you answered 'not really' to question 3. The benefits to local people are very important to us on all of our trips and is one of the main reasons for the 4 night stay on the settlement. The accommodation you stayed in was built by, owned and run by the local Inuit population who we have worked with closely over many years. I just wanted to assure you that all of the money that we paid for your accommodation and food on the settlement has gone directly to the settlement population.
All the best.
