Best hang gliding experience in Rio!

Assad is very professional and knowledgeable with his craft! He goes above and beyond (literally) with his guests. Me and my sister booked a month in advance and he’s quick to respond with any questions. We met at 11 am and we ended before 2 pm (for two sessions). As a first timer, he will teach you everything you need to know with hang gliding, especially with running off the ramp and landing. I would 100% recommend him!

A wonderful experience

Assad and Rodolfo were great. Assad helped me figure out an alternative time due to weather. Rodolfo flew me from the mountain down to the beach and made the whole experience joyful. A lovely time with exhilarating views on the way down!

it's a gut check activity. Do it. Be proud of yourself.

Amazing experience! Highly recommend. The weather was perfect and the guide was great. He knew I was nervous and we needed to do it sooner than later. We did just that and the execution was perfect.

É normal que fique nervoso diante dessa incrível experiência que é voar livre como os pássaros, mas como voce pode vivenciar, todos os medos desaparecem durante o voo e o que fica é um momento de puro encantamento. Obrigado
