After breakfast, we’ll pack some lunch and go for a few hours walk in the mountains and valleys. We try to pick some edible herbs and berries (depends on the weather the weeks before). The valley above Kvíar is pretty flat and rich in fauna that makes for easy walking...

Tour Operator
Borea is a fully licensed adventure guiding company based in Ísafjörður in the heart of the Westfjords of Iceland.
The founders of Borea have always recognized the great potential of adventure tourism surrounding their home, yet little was being done to encourage it. They wanted to let people enjoy their home environment in the same way they had done since they were young.
Borea was created in 2006 and focuses on both short day trips for everyone and exclusive expeditions to remote corners in the Arctic.
The company is operated by sailors, climbers, skiers, and sea kayakers that find their inspiration in the unique wilderness that surrounds them.
All our guides are local Icelanders and good friends that have designed each trip to operate in full harmony with nature.
Borea Adventures is run by Rúnar Karlsson and Nanný Arna Guðmundsdóttir. They are both born in Ísafjörður and living there. They have years of experience in all sorts of outdoor activities in Iceland and know the Westfjords like the back of their hand. The company only hires guides with thorough knowledge in backcountry skiing, sea kayaking, hiking and that have great respect for the natural environment.
