I have found this:
http://www.icelandguest.com/vacation-package/greenland-travel/
A day trip (from Iceland) to Greenland for 400 GBP or a 4 day for
about 1000.
I'm not sure that a day trip cuts it. It just looks like 'doing' a
country for the sake of it. As I have already realised that I am not
going to complete the 197 countries of the world, I no longer 'do'
countries for the sake of it (if I ever did). (Is Greenland a 'real'
country or is it still part of Denmark?)
The 4 day looks good, but It doesn't say what days of the week it is
available (unless anyone can point me to the bit that I missed) so
that it is difficult to work out how it fits in with the Iceland
tours. Also I am a bit concerned about "Bring good hiking shoes, a
mosquito net,...", there's no mention in the details about "Hiking"
and do I really need to take my malaria tablets :-).
Plus the Iceland tours are expensive, over 1000 GBP per week, without
flights.
