General Information Shore Excursions Quality of the bus The busses in Greenland are operated on extreme driving and weather conditions and therefore heavily loaded and this can be seen at the outward appearance. Dust development in the busses while driving gravel tracks can't be avoided. Toilets are not available on the busses.
