2013 Iceland - Greenland

Borea Adventures is a small adventure company based in Ísafjörður in the Westfjords of Iceland. The company is owned and operated by people who are passionate about the outdoors, in particular the spectacular nature and fascinating cultures of the regions bordering the Arctic Circle. It is a passion we love to share, by providing access for people to these remote areas on our fun-filled and safe adventure trips and expeditions in Iceland and Greenland.

„Where the glacier meets the sky, the land ceases to be earthly, and the earth becomes one with the heavens; no sorrows live there any more, and therefore joy is

not necessary; beauty alone reigns there, beyond all demands“

Halldor Laxness, World Light 1940.

Borea adventures adheres to the principles of low impact, sustainable tourism. Our trips are “silent”, since we try to minimize the use of any kind of noisy and polluting engines. Indeed, we like to encourage physical activity, suited to all levels of ability, from easy sailing and hiking through to exhilarating action sports.

We rely on local knowledge and respect local culture. In fact, we take great pride in using only guides with a thorough knowledge of the local nature and history. Our priority is to guarantee our guests an enjoyable wilderness experience, in perfect harmony with the natural environment that supports us all.

Borea adventures offers a variety of fascinating trips, but we can also customize trips for groups looking to put together their own itinerary for a unique adventure in the northern Wilderness.

The Icelandic spring is a prime time for skiing and on this trip we head for the backcountry in the beautiful Hornstrandir Nature Reserve. Here we ski between remote fjords, anchoring our mobile “Backcountry Hut” Aurora in a different spot every night.

Many of the mountains and ridges have never been skied before, so don’t expect to wait in some frustrating line before cruising down the mountain of your choice, from summit down to sea level! There are many different mountains to ski (some up to 800 meters drop), and we plan our routes to accommodate people of all abilities and interests.

We also carry a few sea kayaks on the yacht and people are free to take a break from skiing and do some kayaking as well.

We´ll more or less only stay on board the sailing yacht Aurora at anchor, so don´t be afraid of sea sickness. It´s never a problem. The delicious and mouth watering food served is well deserved after a long day of skiing.

Included:

All food, accommodation onboard, use of sailing clothing and safety gear, professional guiding and transport to and from Ísafjörður airport.

Dates:

every Monday from March 18th until May 25th 2013, arrive back to port on Saturdays in the late afternoon in time for the last flight back to reykjavik. Two early departures are on Sunday March 24th and april 28th with arrivals back in port on Fridays March 29th and May 3rd.

These departures coincide with the easter Weekend music festival and Fossavatn Ski Marathon on May 4th.

Price:

Borea has opened up a lodge in the center of Hornstrandir Nature Re-serve. We tunerd the beautiful abandoned farm of Kvíar into a cozy but rugged haven for adventurers to enjoy great atmosphere after a great day out. The house was built in 1921 and in 1948, the last inhabitants left this isolated place in search for a better life. Though not many people would want to live there permanently, Kvíar is a great getaway and the perfect stepping stone for our trips both in winter and summer.

We use our comfortable speed boat Bjarnarnes to shuttle us to the best skiing locations in the area. At the end of the day, the speed boat picks the group up and takes it back to Kvíar where mouth-watering dinner awaits.

The house has three rooms upstairs and two downstairs plus a living room. The kitchen, storage and drying room is in the cellar.

We promise that you will return home with great memories after a week far away from modern amenities.

Included:

All food, boat transfer, accommodation, professional guide and transport to and from Ísafjörður airport.

Amazing adventure with fantastic explorers. Memories are so important and I will never forget this trip.

Paolo, USA.

Located just below the Arctic circle, the West Fjords of Iceland are an ideal playground for winter travel. This winter trip is intended to give people with little or no previous experience of winter touring an opportunity to learn the skills in a safe and fun environment.

Even if we are in real Arctic environment, we are still relatively close to nearest settlements in case the weather gets challenging. We will spend the first day on the remote Korpudalur farm which has been converted to a comfortable guesthouse.

We will then head on into the mountains and use two days to cross an easy mountain range over to Heydalur valley where we will finish the trip with a nice dip into a natural, outdoor, geothermal pool and good dinner at the farm guesthouse in the valley. This is prime time to see the Northern Lights racing across the sky.

Included:

All food and fuel during the course, accommodation in guesthouses during program, guiding and instructions, use of tents, stoves, ice axes, crampons, ropes, harnesses etc and transport to and from Ísafjörður airport.

The Hornstrandir Nature Reserve offers adventure seekers the perfect opportunity to fulfill their dreams. Situated on the NW tip of Iceland, the area has been uninhabited for more than 60 years and the only way to get there is by boat. On this trip we’ll use our expedition sailing yacht Aurora as mother ship and experience new things every day and anchor in a new magical place each night. You will find lush valleys filled with wild flowers, beautiful sandy beaches, deep fjords and towering cliffs. Great hiking and walking routes wind their way between the desolated fjords and bays, with spectacular views from the mountains to the sea.

The island of Vigur is a very unique place where man and nature have coexisted in balance and harmony and where thousands of birds such as Puffins, Arctic Terns and Black Guillemots come to breed during the short summer. Hesteyri has rich history and here are oportunities for wonderful hikes such as over to Aðalvík bay to the north. From here we will sail along the northern capes to the spectacular landscape of Hornvík bay. Here are two of the largest bird-cliffs in Iceland with the world’s largest colonies of Guillemots but also major populations of Kittiwake, Razorbill and Fulmars. This is also the kingdom of the Arctic Fox and the only place in Iceland where they are fully protected, leaving them fairly relaxed around human visitors. We believe that time spent exploring the Hornstrandir will leave you fascinated and inspired

Wild hiking between the bays and fjords of Hornstrandir Nature Reserve

Lost Fjords - NEW!

The Hornstrandir nature reserve is a place of magnificent untouched beauty and wildlife. The sheer basalt mountains stretch from the sea to the sky chaotically divided by deep fjords, secluded alcoves and valleys.

At the coastline the relentless power of the ocean has molded towering sea cliffs richly populated by birds and many of the alcoves and scurries of the coast are home to an abundance of seals. Inland the crawling glaciers of the last ice age have hewn ancient mountain passes and lakes into the rugged peninsula and there the arctic fox wanders in its natural environment. At the settlement of Iceland and until the middle of the 20th century the area was populated by the toughest of Icelandic fishermen and craftsmen. Many of them making their livelihood from crafting unsurpassed vessels for the North Atlantic Ocean. Hornstrandir is now empty of permanent settlers but their abandoned homes and workshops are scattered around the area, nestled deep in the fjords and valleys.You can be sure that trekking through the Hornstrandir will leave you amazed and packed with memories that will last a lifetime.

During this kayaking adventure you will venture through Jökulfirðir (Glacier Fjords) a unique area in Iceland with its pristine fjords and sheltered valleys where nature took over about 70 years ago when the last inhabitants left. The area is rarely visited and only few summer houses remain in some bays.

We begin the trip in the old village of Hesteyri where boats are loaded before paddling to Lónafjörður, surely one of the most beautiful fjords in Iceland.

The steep mountains and the surprisingly lush valley of Rangali is the perfect locale for agreat sleep. The trip continues for the next five days with a visits to a seal colony, glacier filled valley, paddling under steep cliffs, camping near Möngufoss waterfall and island hopping in Æðey and Vigur island. There is also a good chance of seeing whales spouting in the distance.

This trip is intended for adventurers with some kayaking experience and they need to be in overall good physical condition to be able to enjoy the trip in full. Nights will be spent in good and comfortable tents. This trip takes place in a more isolated area than the Hot Pools Kayaking trip and is a bit more challenging.

The sheer cliffs of Hornbjarg and Hælavíkubjarg; two of the biggest in the Atlantic, rise from the water and the noise from millions of sea birds fills the air.

The whole nature reserve has been uninhabited for over 50 years. Nature has taken over and the only sounds you´ll hear are from streams running, bird rookeries, waves breaking on the shores and the arctic fox protecting its territory.

The stretch of coast between Angmagssalik and Scoresby Sound is considered one of the most difficult in Greenland; in much of this area the mountains rise almost vertically from the sea to form a narrow bulwark, with rifts through which active glaciers discharge quantities of ice. Here are the highest mountains in the Arctic and some of the longest and most ice-filled fjords - here the Polar Bear and Narwal rule unchallenged.

This is a place that only a few hardy adventurers in the annals of Arctic exploration have ever deigned to challenge (and some of them died in the process). Borea Adventures has been exploring this area for many years and in 2013 we are doing one exclusive expedition to this spectacular place – only nine seats will be available.

We will sail from Isafjordur in NW Iceland on our sturdy expedition yacht AURORA, cross the Denmark Strait and make landfall on the southern edge of the Blosseville coast. From here we will make our way south to the Angmagssalik area and visit many beautiful locations on the way such as Nansen fjord, Kangerdlugssuaq fjord, Nigertuluk and Kangertigtivatsiaq fjords. Each night we will stay in a safe anchorage and there will always be opportunities to explore on foot or on kayak. The trip will end in the village of Kulusuk where our guests will catch their flight back to Reykjavik. This is an expedition suitable for anyone looking for a true adventure off the beaten path.

East Greenland – Arctic Fjordscapes8 days of culture, fjords, icebergs, wildlife and history

The east coast of Greenland is an awesome wilderness. With more than 2,600 kilometres of coastline sparsely populated by only 3,500 people in small towns and settlements, this is the Arctic with all its breathtaking beauty and striking scenery.

This trip is suitable for anyone interested in experiencing the magic of late summer in Greenland onboard our expedition sailing yacht the Aurora. Cruising in the sheltered ice-filled fjords of the Angmagssalik area, we welcome people of all ages and with varying interests. Some like to explore by kayak or on foot whilst others simply like to observe nature from the yacht or immerse themselves in the culture of the local people. We will sail the big Sermilik ice-fjord, walk the streets of Tasiilaq and cruise the sounds and channels between the villages of Tiniteqilaq, Kummiut and Sermiligaq. We stop at the abandoned WW2 military base Bluie East 2 and spend nights in spectacular, remote anchorages.

This is early autumn in the Arctic and the northern lights will surely light up the night sky for us. We can feel the winter approaching and it is quite possible to see a sprinkle of fresh snow on the mountain tops. The trips start and end in the village of Kulusuk. Here are daily flights to Iceland and other parts of Greenland
