Wildlife and great food

Sailing into Hornvik Bay
Sailing into Hornvik Bay
« 1 of 15 »
We just came home from a great trip to the Hornstrandir Nature Reserve with a full boat of Belgians. We started in Hornvik Bay for two days, then moved to Adalvik Bay, enjoyed nice walks and walked over the mountains to Hesteyri. From there we sailed to Grunnavik Bay and walked over the Snaefjallastrond (e. Snow mountain coast). The last day we sailed to the island of Vigur and enjoyed the relaxed atmosphere of the island and all the birdlife. Siggi´s cooking on that trip was quite spectacular. He had just returned from the Faroe Islands and brought nice gifts from his new friends in the form of fresh seafood.

The wildlife on this trip was great. The Arctic foxes in Hornvik were very relaxed around us and many photos were taken. It will be a lot of work for our guests to go through them all.

Thank you for a great week folks.

Nice photos Runar ! Indeed, it will be a lot of work to make a selection for the photobook. It was really a very pleasant week on the boat, in Hornstrandir enjoying the beautyfull nature and the typical Iceland skyes, and of course your company guys. Siggi, I miss your cooking !!! Now I have to do it myself. Can't you come over to Belgium please ?
As soon as I have a selection on our Picasa webalbum I will send you an invitation to visit the album.
Siggi and Runar, I wish you all the best and hope you can do many, many trips for years.
Big hug - Viviane
Greetings - Peter

             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.
