Skiing season over

Finally the skiing trips are finished and summer has begun. There is still a lot of snow in Glacier Fjords and we´re thinking about having at least one trip in June next year. We´ve had great people on board from France, USA, Canada and of course Iceland....

The ice climbing specialists Abby Watkins, Caroline Ware-George, Sarah Hueniken, and Jared Ogden from Team North Face came to Isafjordur in April to do some Ice climbing. They had been travelling almost around Iceland looking for ice with little result due to warm weather. Finally my friend and mountain guide Jokull Bergmann called asking about ice conditions and he sent them over. They were not disappointed and did two new routes close to Isafjordur. Hopefully we´ll see some of the photos Jared took in published material from The North Face.

Check out their story here.

Just finished a trip with a french group. Great bunch of people from Southern France. They really enjoyed the skiing, the extra love Siggi the chef put in the cooking (they are French...) and the comfort onboard AURORA. Check out the latest photos in the collection.

We had a great trip. The company was outstanding, the food was excellent and each night we arrived to the comfort of the boat exhausted. Thanks so much for the fun and adventure.

             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.
