Book on the day of the excursion if you want to do this. Very weather dependent.

1.00This was one of the worst viator experiences I have had. My original booking was canceled due to weather, which I understand. The wind was blowing 45 mph, which isn't ideal for paragliding. The tour operator notified me the day before that he would have to cancel. He said the next day to fly would be in 4 days. I rebooked with him. On the 4th day we drove 2.5 hours to get to the tour operator. When we got there, the people at the building looked at us funny and said "Didn't the pilot call you? It's too windy to fly today (13mph winds, no rain, partly sunny). Sorry he didn't call you. He contacted all the rest of the people who were going to fly today, I don't know why he didn't contact you." Then they walked away. I hope they aren't as careless with flight safety details, like fastening the passenger to the parachute, as they were with notifying us about the canceled trip.
Best Experience of My Iceland Trip - 100% recommend

5.00This was 100% the top highlight of my trip - the views were incredible, the guides were fantastic, and the experience was unforgettable. I booked this adventure on a whim/I've never been paragliding before and it was the best decision I made. I highly recommend you try out paragliding with True Adventure. Also, they include awesome videos as part of the package! The quality from their go pro was excellent. Note: I was a little nervous because I've never gone paragliding before but it wasn't scary at all/I felt very safe with the tandem guide.
Tremendous experience!

5.00We are on a family vacation of 22 people and it started off with just 3 of us doing it and after the first three, the rest of the family decided they wanted to do it as well and it made our whole trip! Sammy and Tommy were amazing and great at what they do. Coolest thing we have ever done!! Do it while you’re here!
Flying Fun!

5.00Tandem paragliding with True Adventure in Vik was easily my favorite experience in Iceland. The pilot was very knowledgeable and made the entire ride feel safe, smooth, and so much fun. The views were absolutely breathtaking and gave me a perspective of Iceland I could not get any other way. This was the best activity I booked on this trip. I highly recommend it. Five out of five!
Awesome!

5.00From start to finish this was an amazing experience! Beginning with a pulse-raising transfer to the top of the hill via their tour vehicle, myself and another solo traveler met the paragliders at the top of the hill and I instantly felt at ease with their warm welcome and clear communication. I absolutely have a fear of heights and flying, so this was an attempt to conquer my fears! I was so thankful for my guide Sammi who listened to what I was comfortable with, and eased my mind as we flew around one of the most beautiful landscapes in the world. We had a safe, gorgeous, fun flight and landing. It was exhilarating and I’d absolutely do it again with this tour company. They instantly download your GoPro video/images to your phone so you leave with the best souvenir proof of your adventure. Highly recommended this activity on a tour of Iceland! Thank you, True Adventure and Sammi!

5.00The whole experience was amazing! Our pilots made us feel safe and comfortable, and while we waited for conditions to be right we were able to see some puffins and learn about each other. The flight was awesome!!! Exhilarating and relaxing at the same time
