South Iceland and Paragliding adventure One-day tour
Our partner: Gray Line Iceland
Description
On this tour you'll see amazing views of south Iceland; mountains, glaciers and cascading waterfalls from the ground and from the air soaring through the sky on a tandem paragliding flight.
Sailing through the skies you'll enjoy incredible panoramas, from the black volcanic coast to jagged mountain peaks and way up to the massive Mýrdalsjökull ice cap. No previous paragliding flight experience is required, and certified, experienced pilots make sure your flight is safe and enjoyable. After the flight you might feel like you have taken your travel experience to a whole new level.
The question is... do you dare?
