Million dollar sunsets, humpbacks, sea eagles and great scenery

In Adalvik Bay

« 1 of 7 »

The weather was excellent in July (and still is) and we did few trips with mostly Icelanders and British people. During a ten day trip all over our home turf, we experienced a lot of things. We went walking, kayaking, horseback riding, sailed across the Arctic circle and saw probably most of the stunning wildlife in Iceland. The highlight was probably humpback whales flapping his fins in front of us (nobody was quick enough with camera!) and two sea eagles sitting in a safe distance from us in one of the fjords. The seals in Lonafjordur were also very nice. Lying and sunbathing on the rocks and very curious about our red sea kayaks.

Thank you all for your great company last month.

Hi Runar,

We're all missing Iceland and all the cool things we did and saw. Have just been looking at your photos and reminising so thought I'd say hi. Hope you're having fun.

Take care,
Una

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.
