About the tandem paragliding in Vík

The flight starts on a hill high above the village of Vík. After safety instructions and checks with the APPI-qualified guides. You will run for a short distance down a slope. And then you will be flying. I have tried paragliding before, and I failed to rely on my GoPro camera. The camera promptly went out when the flight started. So I would go for the inflight video and photo packages when you book your flight.
