Ipiutaq's 2010 season coming up!

Greenlandic - French gourmet fusion cuisine!

« 1 of 3 »

The things we here at Borea Adventures like the most in life are the outdoors and good gourmet food. We are always exploring new regions in and around the north Atlantic and local cuisine is always an interesting exploration. Combining these two is what we try to aim at!

Agathe and Kalista, our friends at the remote Ipiutaq guest farm in southern Greenland, are starting something really special this summer. Under snow-covered mountain peaks, next to icy coasts and rivers packed with huge arctic chars, their farm is located right in the middle of this spectacular environment.

In July and August, this multilingual duet will welcome guests to their farm and share their daily life and stories. They are master chefs and, after their guests have spent the day fishing, they'll be happy to prepare the day's catch in an original French-Greenlandic gourmet way!

Fishing, hiking, picking berries, sailing between icebergs, eating gourmet food and simply relax and take it easy in this unusual surroundings; sure sounds good to me!

Borea Adventures and Ipiutaq guest farm are working together on introducing the remote arctic regions to the rest of the world. Below is their proposal for this summer. For more information check out this or that, or simply just contact us! Also, take a look at Siggi's entry on Ipiutaq from April here.

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.
