My fiancé and I got married in Iceland and started our honeymoon by paragliding off of a cliff overlooking Vik! This is definitely a bucket list activity! We had never paraglided before, so we were a tad bit nervous. But once we got to the top and after take off it was so calm gliding around the top. We loved this activity and I hope everyone does this at least once in their lives!
