Overview

The Big Hrafnar Expedition is Hrafnar's flagship two-day private journey – designed for those who want to experience the very best of Iceland without compromise. Day One sweeps through the legendary Golden Circle: the tectonic drama of Þingvellir, the erupting Strokkur geyser, the thundering Gullfoss waterfall, a tomato farm lunch, and the vivid Kerið crater. The evening closes with a rewarding hike into Reykjadalur for a soak in Iceland's famous natural hot river.

Day Two shifts to the South Coast. Starting with pastries at Faxe Bakery, you'll stand behind Seljalandsfoss, marvel at Skógafoss, and tackle a guided glacier hike on Sólheimajökull before exploring the haunting black sands of Reynisfjara. The expedition ends in Vík, where a local brewery and pizzeria marks a well-earned finish.

Overnight accommodation is included – choose between glamping or a hotel. Your private guide and vehicle are with you across both days, ensuring a seamless, flexible, and deeply personal experience of Iceland's most iconic regions.
