Tunu
organises and runs cultural tours to an incredible place - Arctic East Greenland.
We aim to provide a unique experience of
the Inuit culture and their way of life through the means of dogsledding trips
in the Spring, and trekking holidays in the Summer. As a small company, we take
a personal approach to our customers and can assure you of the highest standards
of service. We also feel that our itineraries are amongst the most comprehensive
available. We have made this possible by building up a knowledge of the area and
a close relationship with the local Inuit people that we believe to be unique
in the World.
WHAT
WE STAND FOR
At
Tunu, we believe that a great deal can be learned from the Inuit culture. There
must be few races that are as aware and as understanding of their environment
as the Inuit - this is remarkable in that they live in one of the most inhospitable
environments on the planet. Their values are also a lesson to us all. They have
a sense of community in the truest form and family values so strong that you will
almost never hear a child cry.
Tunu
would like to introduce you to these people and allow them to teach you their
ways and their traditions. We can promise you a memorable experience and believe
that if you can take home some of the things you have learned, as well as some
great stories, then we have succeeded.
RESPONSIBLE
TOURISM
Tunu
is committed to responsible tourism. This means that all of our activities, from
the office to the icebergs, are performed with the well-being of the environment
as a priority. This is particularly important in sensitive environments such as
the Arctic where we aim to leave no trace of our activities. We always employ
local Inuit hunters as our dogsled drivers, boat drivers and guides. Our unique
relationship with them allows us to work with the Inuit directly, cutting out
the middleman and affording them better wages and treatment. After all, they are
unquestionably the best people to show us their beautiful homeland and its wildlife.
