BOREA ADVENTURES

Words can't really describe how extraordinary the kayak trip was, in no small part thanks to the personnel from Borea Adventures, who made a huge effort so that we can fully experience the beauty of nature in the Westfjords

Terrific Around the Walls mountain biking experience with Hugo! 2.5 hours of beautiful scenery and some good ups and downs. Great bikes.

I booked with Borea Adventures because they had more pickup/drop off times. While booking, I end up booking the wrong ticket and emailed them. They got the ticket corrected for me no problem. The day of my pick up, I was changing my mind in regards to where I wanted to be picked up, so I stopped by the main office and got my ticket changed again and paid a difference since my new pickup location was farther away. I got dropped off at Veiðileysufjörður and picked up at Hornvik. I was told pick up time will be 1pm. The boat showed up at 12pm to unload supplies/passengers. We were on our way back to town by 12:40pm. The employee didn't see my name on the passenger list to be picked up. I'm assuming because I changed my point of pickup the day I left? I don't know but the employee said she'll look into and figure it out since she remembers me from the first time I got dropped off.

Make sure you leave them a phone number that they can call you. I received a call about an hour or two before my pick up time that the boat was delayed by an hour. T-Mobile service works there (under the Nova network). If you don't know, get yourself a Google Voice number ahead of time so you can have one single number when using foreign sims.

I did leave some gear with them at the meeting point. They have this small container office that you can leave your gear there. When the boat came back, I saw people getting their suitcases out of the office. The first employee I asked to leave my gear, she seemed unsure but eventually took my gear and left it under a seat in the office. When I came back, I walked into the office to get my gear and another employee asked me how I leave my gear here if the office was locked?" So two employees seems unsure about gear storage but It seems to be allowed to storage gear with them.

Lastly, the dock is large and there seems to be plenty of cars parked around. So if you're considering renting a car, you may be able to park at the meeting point but I'd ask first.

Overall, I had a great time at Hornstrandir and Borea Adventures did a fine job getting me there. I loved that their had morning and afternoon pickup times so it makes planning a little easier. Would recommend them.

In mid-July together with another family (total of 4 adults and 4 children) we went on an excursion with Lucas around Ísafjörður and it was great: Lucas is a very knowledgeable person (as well as very nice) and he showed us the real Iceland! I highly recommend Borea Adventures for their professionalism and seriousness.

My wife and I booked the calm water kayak on the day that our cruise ship was in town. Alex in the office was a joy to work with and fixed us up with a trip that fitted the time we had available. Isabelle was our guide was lovely and very kind and knowledgable. Good equipment and always felt safe.
