Ground Transportation

Last updated: Jul 20, 2025

Taxis

A local taxi service operates in Narsarsuaq, providing transfers from the airport to the hotel, hostel, and the harbor for boat connections. As services are limited, it is highly recommended to book your taxi in advance, especially during the busy summer season.

Rental Cars

Car rental options are extremely limited and are not provided by major international companies. A local tour operator may offer a small number of 4x4 vehicles for rent. The road system is very small, consisting of gravel roads for exploring the immediate area only, and does not connect to other towns. Pre-booking is essential.

Public Transportation

There is no public bus system in Narsarsuaq. The main form of transport to connect to other settlements in South Greenland (like Qaqortoq or Narsaq) is by scheduled boat services (e.g., Disko Line, Blue Ice Explorer) from the harbor or by helicopter flights operated by Air Greenland.

Distances are approximate and calculated as straight-line distances.
