Embark on a unique journey to the abandoned settlement of Assaqutaq, located on an island, 13 km east of Sisimiut. The last inhabitants moved from this place in 1969. Since then, the abandoned buildings which are still standing have become a place of many tales and stories of ghosts. We will sail on Amerloq fjord, along the picturesque Nasaasaaq mountain range. Around 30 minutes later we disembark on the island and start exploring the old buildings. Your captain will be your guide, and will tell you all about this mysterious place. This tour is a great experience to enjoy the surroundings of Sisimiut by boat and get a feeling of how life used to be in these small settlements.
