    I need to clarify that my tour guide Alma was great and she was very sweet and helpful. My issues have to do with GJ Travel and the fact that they did not provide me with all the excursions they posted in their itinerary, but they still charged me for the full price of the tour. The itinerary posted had daily excursions for the entire 4 days that I'm in Ilulissat, but my final itinerary had one free day. I was informed ahead of time by the company that the full day excursion to Eqi Glacier do not run at the end of September, and that they would replace the cruise with other activities. They never provided me with alternative activities. I found out that the cruise to the glacier was still operating and the only reason why it was not included in my tour is because Alma was leaving Ilulissat to fly home on the day in question. Alma offered to book the cruise independently for me but it would mean I had to pay for the cruise out of my own pocket when it should have been included in the tour price. GJ Travel should have been honest with me about the whole situation about Alma leaving before my tour was scheduled to end. At the very least, they should have given me a discount and I could pay for the cruise myself separately.

    • GJ TravelOperatorWritten June 2024

      Unfortunately there is no availability for the July 23rd departure but there is for the July 30th departure. The flights will be released on Friday so if you are interested I would recommend that you make the request so that we can confirm before Friday. After that the flights are not guaranteed to be available.

    • GJ TravelOperatorWritten June 2024

      We have not started selling Greenland tours for 2025. The sale for the summer tours usually starts in the autumn the year before so this autumn we will start selling Greenland summer 2025.

    Asked on June 18th, 2023

    What time does the flight from Keflavik leave?

    Flights / Transfers
    • GJ TravelOperatorWritten June 2023

      Flight times from Keflavík to Ilulissat do vary, from morning to the afternoon. We did look up the flight for the date you would like to travel and as of now it is in the morning, but flight times cannot be 100% guaranteed until everything has been confirmed. We suggest arriving in Iceland the day before you are departing to Greenland. Please note that flights to Greenland can changed due to weather conditions, which are unpredictable.
