Paragliding Adventure Over Reykjavik With Optional Central Reykjavik Pickup

Go paragliding over the greater Reykjavik area and see Iceland from a new perspective. You glide silently above lava fields, volcanic craters, and green moss, just outside Iceland's capital.

Before takeoff, your tandem paragliding pilot gives you a briefing on the basics of paragliding. You're fitted with a safety harness and a helmet. Once the paraglider is inflated, you take a few steps down a slope, and soon you're walking on air.

During the flight, you see Reykjavik, snow-capped mountains, geothermal areas, lava fields, and the Atlantic Ocean. With luck, you get a full 360-degree view of the horizon. The highlight is the sight of the ground beneath your dangling feet as you glide through the air.

Your pilot slows the glider down for a smooth, controlled landing. You either take a few steps as you land, like walking down a set of stairs, or land sitting with your legs straight out in front of you, cushioned by the soft harness.

The pilots are licensed paragliding instructors who use equipment approved by international authorities, and they carry out thorough safety checks before takeoff.

You can capture the flight with the GoPro on a stick, which is included in the price, or bring your own camera at your own risk.
