Summary
Description
See the South Coast of Iceland from above on this tandem paragliding tour from Vik. You fly with a paragliding pilot and get a bird's-eye view of Reynisfjara Black Sand Beach, waterfalls, Vik Village, and more.
You meet your instructor in Vik Village on the South Coast, which is on the Ring Road and easy to reach from Reykjavik.
From there, your instructor drives you to the nearby take-off site by super jeep or mountain bus. When you arrive, you get a safety briefing, learn the basics of tandem paragliding, and can ask any questions you have.
There's no jumping off a cliff. You fly with an experienced tandem pilot who guides you through every step and keeps you safe throughout the flight.
No prior experience is needed.
Once the paraglider is inflated and the safety checks are done, you take a few steps down a slope until you're in the air. Your pilot plans the flight around the weather and the views on the day, so every flight is different.
From the air, you can also see the Reynisdrangar Sea Stacks rising from the North Atlantic Ocean.
Inland, you can see far over lava rocks covered in green moss. In midsummer, purple lupines and other wildflowers color the region. You may also see puffins and other seabirds nesting on the cliffs as you glide by.
Other views on the flight include lush valleys and glaciers in the distance.
Your pilot films the flight, and you can buy the photos and videos.
Your tour ends back in Vik, where you can continue your trip in Iceland on your own.
