Amazing Experience

This was an incredible experience. We were the last flight of the day, and they were patient with us because we were late due to Rio traffic. The weather was not great that day but they gave us the best experience possible under the circumstances. We flew by Christ the Redeemer, Sugar Loaf Mountain, and all the beaches. There is nothing like experiencing these things from the air. The entire staff was kind and courteous from beginning to end. A top notch and well-run company. If you are thinking about doing this, book with confidence.

Heliport too far

Be careful, the fares are attractive and you should know that for a 35-minute flight you have to go about 30 kilometers from Rio and you lose about 10 to 15 minutes of approach flight to Rio. In the end, what seems interesting, is not too....

Operator response

Notre base est située dans une zone autorisée et sécurisée pour les opérations aériennes, et le temps de vol total correspond bien à la durée annoncée, incluant les segments nécessaires pour rejoindre les principaux sites touristiques de Rio ✨ Pendant l’approche vers la ville, les passagers profitent déjà de superbes vues sur les plages, la forêt et plusieurs points emblématiques, ce qui fait pleinement partie de l’expérience 🌴🌊 Nous nous efforçons toujours d’offrir un excellent rapport qualité-prix, avec des aéronefs bien entretenus, une structure confortable et surtout un haut niveau de sécurité, qui reste toujours notre priorité absolue 🙏 Merci encore pour votre retour, qui nous aide à continuer à améliorer notre communication et l’expérience offerte à nos clients.
