Every tent undergoes daily cleaning, meticulously carried out during the hours when clients are out enjoying their adventures. The sheets, towels, and bathrobes are maintained unless a guest specifically requests a change, ensuring a consistent and comfortable experience throughout their stay. During the client's dinner, the tent is prepared for the night. This means that all lights and candles are lit, we fire up the heaters and turn on the heating blankets. In this way, the tents are nice and warm when the clients return to their tents for the night. Each day, we offer a thoughtful amenity by providing a bottle of water and snacks in the tents, featuring a selection of chocolate, assorted nuts, and dried fruits. In the dining tent, a variety of refreshments are always available, including coffee, tea, soft drinks, beer, wine, and other beverages to enhance your overall experience.

Our water supply is sourced from the nearby river, replenished by one of the glacial meltwater streams that provides water to the entire village. This ensures a fresh and abundant source for our camp. Both the kitchen and toilets are equipped with running water, offering both hot and cold options for your convenience and comfort. Furthermore, all tents come equipped with electricity. The standard voltage is 230 V, and the frequency is 50 Hz. You can use your electric appliances if the standard voltage in your country is between 220 - 240 V, as is typical in the UK, Europe, Australia, and most of Asia and Africa. Waste Management: All non-organic waste generated at the camp undergoes careful transportation back to the village for proper disposal. Within the camp, we prioritize responsible organic waste management by collecting it separately, returning it to nature for recycling within the food chain. Wastewater is directed to a designated dry well. To maintain environmental harmony, we kindly request the use of only organic soap. Mosquitoes: While Greenland boasts breathtaking natural beauty, it's important to note the presence of mosquitoes. Our tents are equipped with quality insect repellent, after-bite lotion, and mosquito nets to ensure a pleasant experience in the midst of nature. We prioritize eco-friendly practices by refraining from using harmful chemicals. Luggage Assistance: Upon guests' arrival or departure from Saqqaq, our staff will assist with transporting luggage to and from the small village harbor. We recommend traveling relatively light and suggest packing in waterproof suitcases or duffel bags for added convenience.
