4 days in Nuuk - recommended activities?

Hi all, our Ilulissat flight got cancelled and we had to skip Ilulissat entirely 😔. We are now in Nuuk and have 4 days before we leave Greenland. We've been to point 660 and seen Russell Glacier in Kangerlussuaq.

We are interested in wildlife, scenery (had wanted to see icebergs in Ilulissat) and culture. Are there any recommended tour operators in Nuuk other than Nuuk water taxi?

For Nuuk water taxi, does anyone know if the 2h sunset sail or the 6 hours fjords trip is worth doing? Should we do both?

How about the Kapisillit or qoornoq island settlement tours?

Grateful for any suggestions!

Flight cancellation - help with options

Hi all, our flight from Kangerlussuaq to Ilulissat this morning got cancelled due to the weather at Ilulissat - the pilot attempted but couldn't land, and flew back to Kangerlussuaq. The earliest flight to Ilulissat is on 28 June.

Putting aside how disappointing this is (I planned this trip 1 year ago), I need some advice on which options to take:

Option 1: stick to the allocated flight to Ilulissat, but I have a ticket booked from Ilulissat to Nuuk on 29 June, and Nuuk to Copenhagen on 30 June. Essentially I will only be in Ilulissat for less than a day and risk the flight to Nuuk being cancelled, so I am not keen on this.

Option 2: fly directly to Nuuk. The next available flight is on 26 June. The concern I have is that if my flight from Nuuk to Copenhagen gets cancelled, I can't catch my flight back to Singapore (on 4th July, so latest I have to get back to CPH is 3rd).

Option 3: stay in Kangerlussuaq until the flight back to CPH, which is in a week's time, on the 30th. This is the safest option (presumably?), but I will be stuck here for one whole week...

My priority is to ensure I get back to CPH in time for my flight back to Singapore, but I feels like a waste flying all the way to Greenland and not even seeing Nuuk.
