This 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.

My family of 5 (3 teens) paraglided and ziplined with this company. The guides were all kind, encouraging and fun! We had a great time and felt safe throughout the adventures.

Was a fantastic experience..but I suggest if you get motion sickness, take something before you go...and don't eat before you go!

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

Great experience for my first time paragliding! Friendly guides and we immediately got the gopro photos and videos which was nice. It was very short though, only about 5 minutes in the air because the conditions were not that great. They called the afternoon before to see if we could go then instead because conditions were better, but unfortunately we had a long day of other excursions and driving and could not make it work.

What a blast! My daughter and I had so much fun, definitely a highlight of our trip. Everything is weather dependent so they had to reschedule but it worked out fine for us. Be flexible it is so worth it!

Beautiful, we like your review. 🙏

Amazing experience! The pilots were accommodating, kind, and hilarious. They really got to know us before, during, & after the flight and also gave us some local recommendations. Also, they made the landings very graceful. Would recommend if you’re searching for a south coast thrill!
Response from Host, Nov 2022
The landings... yes, it's been a challenge making them as graceful as we do. 😉 Hope we see you again one day. ❤️

My son and I had an incredible experience! They are very kind guys with a lot of knowledge and experience. It’s their passion and it shows that they enjoy sharing it! My son and I would both highly recommend doing this! It’s so fun.
Response from Host, Nov 2022
It's incredible to be able to share the sky with all you awesome people that come and visit us. ❤️

Our family of 4 planned to paraglide, but we were fogged out at our 10am trip. They did everything they could to accommodate us, including us a free zip line tour. We decided to move east and call around 2 to see if we could return if the conditions were better. Unfortunately the weather wasn’t cooperating. Biggest disappointment of our trip to Iceland was not being able to paraglide, but not much anyone could have done to prevent it. Even though we didn’t fly, we felt like this operation did everything they could to accommodate us. We appreciated their honestly and integrity. Viator easily refunded our money.
