On this day's activity, the discovery of Teleøn, a charming little island in Greenland called Sallinguit that is bridged to the mainland. It hosts the oldest remains of human existence not only in the area of Sisimiut but in all of Greenland, dating back as far as 4500 years. During this easy hike, we will follow a historic route and see old peat houses and stone graves. This hike is great for enjoying a nice view of the city and Nasaasaaq.

No problem—the captain will guide you through it. After reeling in your catch, decide whether to clean and fillet it yourself or leave it to the captain.
