Best Experience of My Iceland Trip - 100% recommend - This 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.

Worth every penny! - We 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!

Best Experience in Iceland: Tandem Paragliding - Tandem 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! - Was a fantastic experience..but I suggest if you get motion sickness, take something before you go...and don't eat before you go!

Incredible Experience - From 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!

Exhilarating and relaxing at the same time - The 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
