Hotel Experiences

On clear nights between September and April, guests are invited to visit Hotel Ranga’s very own observatory. Local astronomers are on-hand to help guests use state-of-the-art telescopes to appreciate the enchanting beauty of star constellations and galaxies, such as the magnificent milky way. If you’re lucky enough, you may have the opportunity to catch a dazzling glimpse of the Northern Lights, wrapped up in a warm snow suit while enjoying a hot chocolate. Conveniently located near some notable spots, the Hotel concierge extends its impeccable service to helping guests plan incredible adventure tours. Experience the Black Sand Beach and the scenic Icelandic countryside on horseback or embark on a snowmobiling tour across a glacier, perfect for thrill-seekers.

Dining & Gourmet

Embark on an underground culinary adventure by candlelight in the mystical Caves of Hella, thought to have once been inhabited by the fearless Vikings. As you meander through this magical enigma of man-made caves, you’ll discover echoes of the distant past, from wall carvings to an ancient stove and alter. Feel transported to another age of civilisation, as you tuck in to a three course Viking feast featuring gravlax, lamb shank and a traditional Icelandic skyr desert accompanied by live music. This dining experience is perfect for a memorable family adventure or a private romantic dinner for two.

Weddings

If your dream is to say ‘I do’ by candlelight inside an ancient cave, a quaint country church or surrounded by the gushing streams of the Skógafoss waterfall, then look no further. Couples can choose from four expertly tailored wedding packages, with notable features including a lavish four course dinner, access to outdoor hot tubs and two nights in either the Master suite, Junior suite, or Deluxe superior room. The hotel staff will go above and beyond to craft the perfect ceremony, from providing a custom cake and wedding photo shoot with esteemed photographers, to preparing intricate floral arrangements and stunning decor, ensuring a picture-perfect setting.

Beautiful Waterfalls

South-Iceland is blessed with a number of stunning waterfalls. The 60-metre-high Seljalandsfoss falls is one of the best-known in Iceland, flowing from the famous Eyjafjallajokull glacier. A footpath leads you behind the falls so if you’re not afraid to get a little wet, you can walk through to the other side. Another spectacular sight is the Reynisdrangar basalt sea stacks located along the black sands of the Reynisfjara beach below, where waves of the North Atlantic spectacularly break. Another highlight just 30 kilometres away is Skogarfoss, one of Iceland‘s biggest and most beautiful waterfalls that tumbles over a cliff, marking the country's former coastline.

Horseback Riding

The Icelandic Horse is a unique breed and a national treasure, descending from the horses of the first settlers imported from Norway in the 9th century. As they are known for their intelligence and friendly character, horse-riding tours for all abilities are highly recommended, allowing you to connect with these fascinating creatures as you explore the stunning scenery of moss-covered lava fields and soft black lava sand on the beach.

Westman Islands

Take a private boat to the Westman Islands (Vestmannaeyjar), an archipelago of 15 islands off Iceland’s South coast. Explore the only inhabited island of Heimaey, to witness the largest puffin colony in the world, walk around lava fields and hike along beautiful trails some 900 foot above sea-level, offering incredible vistas. Other activities include boat tours around the islands, passing in and out of caves along the way, visiting the Eldheimar museum to learn more about the 1973 volcanic eruption, and Sæheimar Natural History Museum and Aquarium, full of information about the island’s native birds.
