Traditional Kaffemik Home Visit
Visit a local Greenlandic home for a traditional kaffemik, sharing coffee, homemade treats, and conversation with a welcoming family.
Meet a local guide and walk to a traditional Greenlandic family home, where you’ll be welcomed into an authentic kaffemik gathering. Enjoy coffee or tea alongside homemade cakes and buns while learning about daily life, celebrations, and traditions from your hosts. With help from your guide, engage in open conversation about Greenlandic culture, clothing, and family life, both past and present. After about an hour with the family, you'll return to the city center to head back to the ship.
