OUR PHILOSOPHY
Respect nature, use local sources whenever possible, offer the best trips, cause no unnecessary harm, inspire people.

Borea Adventures is a small company, owned and operated by people who love being outdoors and enjoy the nature and culture of the North Atlantic. We like to share our experience by giving people access to these areas through safe and fun filled adventure holidays.

We rely on local knowledge and respect local culture. We take great pride in using only guides with a thorough knowledge of the local nature and history. For our mouth watering cuisine we use primarily ingredients from the areas we travel in. ....less

We strive to reduce our environmental impact for our tours by utilising renewable energy sources at both of our bases in Hornstrandir (solar panels and wind turbines). Our food choices for our tours prioritise local produce rather than imported commodities, and we strive to reduce food waste and recycle as much as possible.

We disseminate best practices to the public on behaviours around local wildlife, even by taking the initiative to set up a boundary around a nearby fox den to reduce the disturbance of encroachment and foot traffic. By giving the foxes the ability to decide the distance they want to maintain with us, we can spectate their natural curious behaviour in a peaceful way. ....less

We collaborate with local conservation projects in Hornstrandir relating to Arctic Foxes, beach cleanup initiatives, and identifying whales for our local catalogue. As a stakeholder in the area we often provide logistical support as well as shelter during changeable weather conditions. Please contribute to citizen science with your photos with Happy Whale. ....less
