Don't be fooled by news about the great Icelandic financial crisis... You don't have to send us food and clothes yet (!).
Despite the problems with the Icelandic banks, Borea is doing just fine. We had a great season, starting with the Warren Miller crew on a fantastic ski trip around 23rd of March and ending perfectly with a late season trip to Greenland with the staff of Ultima Thule tour operator in late September (detailed travel story and pictures coming soon).
So, we are more than ready for you to join us in 2009 for some great adventures. In case there are any questions or doubts regarding the current situation in Iceland feel free to contact us. We will be happy to answer all your questions.
Runar is now back at his winter-job as an avalance forecaster/researcher at the Icelandic Met office branch in Isafjordur. I'm currently in Cowes on the Isle of Wight getting ready to leave as mate on one of UKSA's Challenge 67 yachts for a trip to Spain, Azores, Madeira and Portugal. I'll be running our SPOT satellite messenger and plotting my route here.
Look forward to see you in 2009...

We had a great trip. The company was outstanding, the food was excellent and each night we arrived to the comfort of the boat exhausted. Thanks so much for the fun and adventure.

Our Adventures
General Information
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.
