Now, the first trip of the season is finished. It was a ski trip to the Glacier Fjords with a group of Icelandic skiers and snowboarders. The weather forecast was pretty nasty but it turned out ok and we were able to ski all when we wanted but the crew did not get much sleep on the third night....

All men under deck!

We love the smell of cellulose in the morning. But the scuba diving gear came in handy when our eyes started to get blurred

Borea Adventures doesn't only do adventure trips on the good ship AURORA. We also offer all kinds of other adventure activities on land and at sea. This week we had a great group of PhD students from Pittsburgh, USA on a multi adventure spring-break holiday. We did cross-country skiing, kayaking, horseback-riding, mountain climbing, ice climbing, bathing in outdoor and indoor hot pools and last but not least we built an igloo where the whole group slept for one night. Soon we will post a few pictures from the trip and a link to the group's blog but here is a "postcard" greeting we received from the group when they left....

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.

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.
