Best experience in Rio!!!

This was the experience of a lifetime! The entire team is amazing, friendly and communicative. They made me feel at ease, especially since I was doing the experience with my teenage son. I always felt like we were in the best hands. We had to wait a bit because of the winds, which really shows you how much they prioritize safety. As soon as it was done, I wanted to go again. I was nervous but it was honestly so peaceful and beautiful and I felt safe the entire time. Book with these guys! Cannot recommend this enough.

A fantastic experience

It was a fantastic experience - our instructor was professional and friendly and we felt in trusted hands. We drive up the mountain - strapped in and straight off, so no hanging about. It was a stunning flight - beautiful views and coming in over the ocean. Would recommend!

Unforgettable Moments Flying Over Rio de Janeiro

Had the most amazing hang gliding experience in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil! The owner, instructor, and all the staff were incredibly kind and professional. My instructor kept me calm and confident the whole time while we were flying together, which made the experience even more enjoyable. It was truly the best adventure and something I will never forget. A once-in-a-lifetime memory in Rio — highly recommended! 🪂🇧🇷💙

Bucket List ... Postponed.

I HIGHLY Recommend Renaldo & Mariana!!! Superb Communicators and Very Professional! I booked a Bucket List of Mine… To go Hang Gliding in Rio de Janeiro over Sao Conrado Beach! I was so VERY EXCITED!!! Took Uber early, waited awhile till the winds shifted, arrived at the “jump off zone”, suited up, THEN… unfortunately the winds really picked up, I waited a few hours but alas, did not get to experience Hang Gliding, YET! Just too windy 😞! Next time I am in Rio I will DEFINATELY contact them again to Fly with Renaldo!

Operator response

Thank you very much for trusting our team to do this flight in Rio. I hope to see you next time in Rio.
