Highlights
Everyday flight a different landscape and every day a new adventure. Get your hands freezing over the glaciers and volcanoes and chase down the canyons, foot drag the black beaches, fly next to rocky cliffs and plenty waterfalls everywhere. The green on Iceland is a pure definition of green color and I swear there is nothing more green in the world and yet the landscape will instantly change to volcanic badlands with colorful rock formations and twisty rivers.
Imagine discovering new places, landscapes never seen before.
What's new in 2024?
What’s better than flying over these beautiful places all across Iceland every morning and evening for 2 hours per flight? YES, you’re right – flying for 4 hours in the morning and 4 hours in the evening!
We are outfitting our adventure machines with 18L fuel tanks and a variomatic propellers!So after doing some math, we’ve concluded it will be 4-hour flights, 8-hours flying per day! That’s something!

BREATHTAKING INCELAND Paramotor adventure
We will drive a minibus with a fully-assembled ready-to-fly paramotors in the trailer during the day to various spots. Fly in the evening, camp overnight and fly from the same spot in the morning. Transfer to the next spot during midday again.
Usually we improvise a lot. Knowing the best locations we select the next based on weather forecast. Sometimes its raining here but flyable 100km away. This way we get the most of flying possible.
Staying overnight
We will mostly do camping on airfields or official camping places. Sometimes we do wildlife camping if legal. Camping right at the take-off place and saves a lot of time early morning and late evening.
Gas stove, a pot, frying pan, barbecue and basic kitchenware will be provided. Yet do no expect a four seasons comfort. We are here to look for adventure and having a shower every single day is not part of it:-)
Food
Every day we will stop somewhere to get fuel for paramotors with shopping in a supermarket and sure there will be a restaurant for lunch. Camping food for breakfast and dinner mostly. We can do shop and cook food together and the split the costs or you buy food on your own just use our supplies to prepare your own.
I will bring barbecue, stoves, coffee maker, kitchenware …
What if the weather is not flyable?
There might be rainy or windy days. We will improvise. We will do sightseeing and hiking or just share paramotor stories and liquor at a campfire.
Costs of the Breathtaking Iceland paramotor adventure
We have not changed the prices of the Iceland trip for several years but now it is the time to do so for several reasons:-(
- compensate for the accumulated inflation in 2021, 2022 and surely to continue in 2023.
- we included the costs of fuel for paramotors and camping fees. Previously these costs were charged based on actual consumption but it always ended up to be roughly the same 300 eur on top. Now it’s included.
- satellite trackers with subscription for your safety> Last year we had our first search and rescue mission so we know how important it is. Now we will be able to communicate or call for help even if there is no cell reception.

What is Paramotor Road Trip?
To maximize our paramotor experience we will drive wherever the weather is the best to fly. We fly in the evening and then the same spot at sunrise again but other direction. During the day we will drive the van and trailer to the next spot.
We have many spots pre-selected and we will choose the next one based on actual weather. To maximize paramotor experience means we need to sacrifice our comfort a little:
- We cannot book accommodation in advance as we decide where to stay based on the actual short-term forecast. Good news is it will be off season so we have good chances to improvise.
- Driving a lot during the days in our Mercedes Viano 8-seater van. Yes, you would wish to have a but more rest.
- The morning flights are pretty cold and the high mountain flights are very cold… the high mountain morning flights are f*
What to bring with you?
- glider,
- your reserve
- helmet (ideally with radio),
- your flying instruments
- warm clothes for flying, gloves
- power bank
- camera is a must
- camping gear, if the adventure require it(consutlt before adventure)
How to get your paramotor there?
That is the tricky part when traveling for PPG adventures. Taking your paramotor onto plane is always a risky business and you may end up being grounded.
Here are your options:
- rent one of our SCOUT paramotors. This is a great opportunity to properly and throughly test the SCOUT. After first flight you will fall in love with it for sure. Flying 15-30 hours on it during the adventure trip you will not want any other machine any more. Should you decide to order a new scout afterwards then you will have half of the rental costs off your purchasing price.
- place an order for a brand new SCOUT and have it delivered the destination. Fly the best adventure of your life on your new dream machine! After the trip, we will take it Slovakia and clean it, pack it and ship to your home.
- ship your paramotor to SCOUT headquarters and we take it for you. We may arrange the pick up at lower cost because we have good deals with FedEx and other shipping companies as we ship a lot. You are responsible for packing it properly. We will load your paramotor into the trailer and drive it to the to Iceland. You enjoy a comfortable flight to the destination with light luggage only. After the trip, we will take it to Slovakia, pack and ship to your home again. You pay the parcel service only. Transport in the trailer from SCOUT HQ to destination and back is free of charge.

Anyone can join us!
Our trips are NOT exclusive for SCOUT pilots only! Pilots with other machines are very welcome to join us. We have always had great times and brands and colors do not matter.
However, quite often we have more pilots signed up for a trip than seats available. In this case SCOUT pilots will have priority boarding as our reward you for their loyalty.
Following reservations will be confirmed immediately:
- SCOUT owners who want to participate with their own paramotorP
- Pilot who orders a trip with rental of a SCOUT (4 paramotors available)
- Customer who orders the trip with a brand new SCOUT paramotor (with relevant discount)
If you want to participate with your own non-SCOUT paramotor, we encourage you to sign up as soon as possible, too. Although we will not be able to confirm your seat before the priority boarding deadline, after this date seats will be confirmed on a first-come-first-served basis. So do not hesitate!
