Top Rio de Janeiro Hang Gliding

The experience was so beautiful and so worth it. My sister did hang gliding with Ricardo and I did paragliding with another person (I forgot his name) but both people were so nice and welcoming. They explained everything to us from beginning to start and once we took off the view was just breathtaking. Thank you to both of them for this amazing experience!

Amazing samba class with Carla in Ipanema. She was super friendly, professional, and made everything easy to follow—even for beginners. The class was fun, energetic, and very well organized. Carla creates a great atmosphere and really helps you connect with the rhythm and spirit of samba. Highly recommended if you’re visiting Rio and want a unique local experience. I would definitely do it again!

This was hands down the most impressive tour I had during my travel in Rio. Our tour guide -Mateush - was so knowledgeable and passionate about the topic of life in favelas. His English is excellent too. Ask for this tour guide for the totally unforgettable experience. Thank you, Mateush!

Incredible views and a lot of food and drink vendors so you can enjoy a cocktail with your view. We went on a Tuesday afternoon - they have a live DJ every Tuesday and Thursday for sunset (check the official website for dates, they publish them every month so these days might change) The “skip the line” option was worth the extra money as everyone wanted to get off the mountain after sunset and if we had to wait in that line we would have been standing there for an hour.

The whole experience was fun and easy to navigate. I just showed up at the meetup location, which is the local hang gliding club. I was quickly directed to meet up with my lead pilot who walked me through the whole process. Then we went up the mountain, got set up, waited our turn, and jumped. It was a great experience, though a bit tense if you're not a fan of heights. Highly recommended.

This is a well run tour. The organizers were friendly and welcoming. We even got the chance to take a dip so bring a bathing suit under. Towels were provided to dry off. This trip was fun and memorable. Just take public transportation to get to the marina if you're going during a busy time of year. Traffic was horrendous.

I booked this tour not knowing that some people were only doing the morning and some only doing the afternoon. It turned out that we were the only ones doing the fully day (and thus were on our own at lunch). We were only in Rio for one day, and this turned out to be a fantastic way to see the highlights in one jam-packed day! My husband and I were lucky to be the last ones into the van, which meant we got to sit up front with the driver. We had amazing views as we were driving! We started out at Christ the Redeemer before heading to Sugarloaf. After that, we dropped off anyone who was only doing the morning. For lunch, we went to an all-you-can-eat Brazilian steakhouse. I’m vegetarian so it was a little lost on me, but the salad bar was still quite good and my husband enjoyed all the meat! In the afternoon, we headed downtown to Cinelandia Square, the Selaron Steps, Metropolitan Cathedral of Rio de Janeiro, and the Mosteiro de São Bento. We also drove past the Sambadrome and Lapa Arches. I really enjoyed seeing this side of Rio, which I think a lot of tourists don’t see in comparison to what we’d seen in the morning. Our guide Monica was great. She was energetic, informative, and played photographer all day for all the groups of people on our tour. Our driver was also safe.

Great tour for an introduction to Santa Teresa. The tour guides are super knowledgeable and informative. Moreover, tour guides who have an alacrity for capturing these moments on camera and working angles will always get a 10/10 from me! Well worth the money
