Exciting day trips for next year

Borea is expanding for next year. For the first time we´ll be offering at least seven new and exciting day trips. Our friends that work in the tourism business here in Isafjordur have dared us to do so and finally we said "what the hell, let´s do it!"

We´ve put together a short brochure with the trips that are finalized with departures and everything and HERE you can read it online. It´s a mixture of short and long sea kayaking days, easy hiking and mountaineering. Last but not least, we´re offering Via Ferrata for the first time in Iceland. It´s a very popular sport in the Alps. Just Google it!

There is a chance that we´ll add more trips in the coming months before we print the thing. All suggestions are accepted, thank you.

Runar, All your post are slowly leading me back to Isafjordur. I have many places and people I want to return to but Iceland is high on the list. George

Our Adventures

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.
