Arctic expeditions to Jan Mayen and Greenland - NEW PRICE - GREAT DEAL

Meeting local hunters in a remote fjord in East Greenland

Following the success of previous years we are running expeditions to arctic Greenland and the island of Jan Mayen this coming summer. Check out our blogs for stories and links to some of our friends' photos and narratives:

I'm glad to be able to confirm that Johan Hustadnes from Norway will join us as an additional guide on our Jan Mayen trips. Johan used to live and work on the island and knows it inside and out. He will, together with our Runar Karlsson, guide people around the island and to the top of Mt. Beerenberg for those that are willing to take on that challenge.

Please note that we are no longer represented in any way by ECO Expeditions of Norway.

Like we mentioned in our last blog the global recession (and especially the Icelandic bank collapse) has led to a dramatic devaluation of the Icelandic krona. This means that Iceland is now a very cheap destination for most visitors. This has also led to cost increases for us but the overall balance enables us to lower the price for some of our trips.

So now we have lowered the price for our Greenland and Jan Mayen trips to 2450 EUR pr person. These are 10 day trips and like always the price includes the charter of the boat with all food, all group equipment on land such as tents, stoves, ropes etc. Kayaks with accessories, oilskins (gore-tex sailing jackets and pants), full guiding on land etc etc.

GREAT DEAL....

General Information

Miscellaneous

Welcome to the website for Borea Adventures, Iceland, your number one stop for Arctic adventures in high latitudes. We provide great adventures and expeditions in Iceland, Greenland, East Greenland, Jan Mayen and Svalbard (Spitzbergen), mainly using our spacious yacht, the Aurora. Our philosophy is to make our trips as silent as possible where we minimize the use of motorized power and encourage physical activities, whether sea kayaking, climbing, sailing, walking and hiking, wildlife, ski touring and backcountry skiing for beginners, experts and people of all ages. The North Atlantic is our playground and we offer scheduled trips for individuals and groups as well as customized itineraries and charter for groups. We travel in harmony with the wildlife of the area: Arctic Foxes, Birds, Seals, Whales and Polar Bears. Aurora is a sturdy expedition yacht and was raced four times around the globe as part of the Clipper Round the World yacht race under the ownership of Sir Robin Knox-Johnston. She gives us a great opportunity to provide Arctic adventures in areas that are hard to reach otherwise. We call her our floating basecamp. Our name is derived from Greek mythology where Boreas was the god of the north wind. Aurora on the other hand was the Roman rosy-fingered goddess of dawn. Aurora Borealis is a name for the Northern lights which are common in our area. As we humans have proven through the decades, names can be hard to remember. Especially if a bit of alcohol gets passed around the galley too many times! You might spell our name Boreal Adventures, Borial Adventures, Borea Adventrues and Borealis Adventures. Thank you for visiting Borea Adventures.
