"Drinking water from the falls, eating berries from the vine - that's the way it should be!

A great land inhabited by great people.

To the best crew and compliments to the chef! Thank you all !!"

Enough talk about snow and gale force winds... when the days are dark it's nice to remind us of summer and fair weather.

Above is a quote from AURORA's guestbook, written by Erik Butler from San Francisco. He is a great photographer and many of the pictures on this website are from his collection. These were shot in a trip last July. Take a look in our photo pages.

Attached here are also few of Erik's pictures from same trip.

-------------------

The warmest July day in Icelandic history is July 2nd 1991 when temperature reached 29.2 degrees Celcius. But we also have to admit that history speaks of quite a few occasions where there was snow on the ground in July, even down to sea-level...!!

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.
