Aqqalu Lange

I am born and raised in Greenland, I speak greenlandic, danish and english. 
I am raished and lived most of my life in Ilimanaq, as an adult I have lived in other places of Greenland, due to workpossibilities and my family. 
As a child Ilimanaq was my playground and where I had my apprenticeship training. Now I live of what I learned as a child, as a fisherman in the area of Ilimanaq and Ilulissat. To me, it is a fantastoc feeling of freedom siling in this beautiful nature. 
I started working in tourism in 2021, and I am looking forward to a summer filled with fun adventure with tourists.

I am born in Denmark but raised in Greenland, and speak Greenlandic, Danish and English.

When I was a child I used to run around and play in Qasigiannguit and Ilulissat. In short, I know all parts of our town and you will be ensured a local and personal tour in Qasigiannguit and our backcountry.

Sailing is my favourite part of my job. The sea in the Diskobay is so beautiful and filled with life. That is also the reason that I like the Glacier Adventure tour, I get to sail so close to our massive glacier and I get to walk on it as well.
For now, I have a gapyear after my IB graduation. I hope to start the university afterwards.
I have finished a course as a captain on the passengerboats, so you will often see me in one of the boats, but also as a guide and doing practical things on land. 

I hope that we will meet in our beautiful little town hidden in the north.

I have been working with tourism on and off since 1996, first next to my studies and then full time.Now full time and I love to talk about Greenland. I like adventures, outdoorlife and my sleddogs. The work with the sleddogs is important to me, as the dogs are part of Team Diskobay just as much as the rest of us.

Besides work I enjoy to hunt, spend time with my family and making yarn or knitting. I rarely leave my house without my knitting, if I have to sit still I might as well knit.

Frank Larsen

I was born and raised in Denmark, but I’ve been living in Greenland since 2004. I speak Greenlandic, Danish and English.

The first 5 years I lived in the settlement Kullorsuaq, where I worked as a teacher. Since that I’ve been living in another small place, Kangaatsiaq, before I moved to Qasigiannguit.

During the 5 years in Kullorsuaq I spend a lot of time with the local hunters. They taught me a lot about dogsledding, hunting and boating in the arctic. Especially dogsledding became my big passion.

In 2014 I started Diskobay Tours, and in 2016 I decided to quit my job, and go full time in the company. I turned to tourism because I really think that our corner of Greenland has some things to offer to guest that travel to here to experience the unique nature and culture.

When I’m not on tours with guests, I like to go out on my own, hunting, fishing or just exploring new areas of our backcountry.
