What are people saying about Rio de Janeiro

Jonathan_B, Apr 2026

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.

Awesome day!!

This tour is well worth the money it was an amazing day saw lots of things. The company bent over backwards to pick us up at our hotel which was far far away from their usual pickup place and booked us an Uber to drive us home. That was very much appreciated.

Rio : Helicopter tour at Christ the Redeemer - 30 minutes

Neil_M, Mar 2026

Clouds and rain? They're illegal in Rio. Aren't they...?

The helicopter base was an hour's taxi ride away, and I wasn't expecting that. I should've checked in advance but didn't...so fair warning everyone else! When I got there - just in time - I was asked if I wanted a cold drink or maybe a beer? I opted for the beer (I was on holiday after all and not driving the thing, so why not?). I also opted for the extra video they make of the journey, which is e-mailed to you about 5 days later. So given that I had paid for a VIP flight, and bought the extra video offer, I was a little surprised to also be charged for the beer! And so to the flight itself. Well, it's at that point that you realise that Rio is just like any city anywhere on the planet. It too is subject to the vagaries of the weather. Every day for the last six months, in my mind this one day, this one particular half-hour was bathed in glorious sunshine. But it could be so different. Too cloudy, too wet, too windy, too anything...And today, right now...was none of those things. It was as if I had placed a weather-order with the Redeemer him/her/itself. Rio and the weather working hand-in-hand to deliver my long-held weather expectation. Across that panoramic perfection rode one helicopter and two insignificant passengers who may have been thinking different things about their forthcoming trip, but not that they would soon be silently and reverentially acknowledging the imperial majesty of Nature and Humans to bring us, well...this. A planet we could exist on, the luck that would allow us to develop and live this long, and the vision that would allow one person to say, "I've got this crazy idea. What I want to do is put a statue of Christ - right there...", and the vision that would allow another person to say, "Eh...OK" And they did. Then my wife and I came along. We took some pics. Shot a video or two. Ipanema, Copacabana, Cristo. Minds so exstatically blown. Grateful to everyone for everything. So yeah, it was OK. We'd do it again.

Helicopter Ride in Rio de Janeiro - 30 Minutes by Comandante Nobre

Diana_K, Mar 2026

A memorable experience - a MUST DO whilst in Rio

This is a MUST-DO whilst in Rio! I must preface this by saying the pre-flight experience left much to be desired but don't let this put you off booking. We arrived on time 15 minutes prior to our 1230pm booking, as stated in the confirmation email. The receptionist seemed surprised to see us and clearly wasn’t expecting us. She couldn’t find any reference to our booking, which was frustrating as 1) we were obviously excited about this holiday highlight event and 2) we’d travelled nearly an hour from central Rio by taxi to get there. Eventually a phone call seemed to suggest they did in fact have the booking. A different woman anrrived and said that although the booking said 12.30pm, it was actually 1pm as we had to undergo a half hour of induction. Odd as induction comprised filling in a few forms and took 5 minutes. We were left with the sense that they have somehow forgotten our booking. We ended up getting taken to the helicopter about 45 minutes after our appt time. It felt a bit micky mouse-ish and we just hopped this wasn’t going to be reflected in the quality of the helicopter and pilot. Fortunately, the actual flight itself was brilliant and we had a fabulous pilot who was determined that we would be able to see Christ the Redeemer despite the cloud cover so made quite a few attempts to get us up close. On the last attempt, the clouds parted and we got great views and photos. The flight was definitely a highlight of our South America travels so go ahead and book but maybe check ahead that your booking is expected.

Edward_L, Feb 2026

A beautiful sunset cruise!

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.

One of the best runners!

Unskippable experience if you're visiting Rio! The waiting experience is a bit confusuing since the runners are independent, but they take safety and the customer experience extremely seriously. Fully recording is included just make sure to move your camera around since your responsible for capturing your own footage. Both session runners were super cool and reassuring, would 1000% recommend

Rio de Janeiro Helicopter Tour without Doors

Tiffany_T, Jun 2025

A Must

The door less helicopter tour over Rio de was, without question, one of the most exhilarating and awe-inspiring experiences of my life. From the very first lift-off to the final descent, everything about this tour was flawless. Soaring high above the sparkling Atlantic Ocean without doors on the helicopter, the warm breeze rushing in, and the city’s iconic beauty unfolding beneath us — it felt like a dream. Flying right past the majestic Christ the Redeemer, close enough to see the serene expression on his face, was something I’ll never forget. The pilot circled slowly, giving us a perfect, unobstructed view of the statue towering over the city — it felt sacred, surreal, and powerful all at once. And then there’s Sugarloaf Mountain, rising like a sentinel from the sea. As we curved around it with nothing but air between us and the earth below, the perspective was simply mind-blowing. The views stretched from the vibrant neighborhoods of Rio to the golden curves of Copacabana and Ipanema beaches — the colors, the contrast, the sheer drama of the landscape was overwhelming in the best way. The staff and crew were outstanding — professional, safety-conscious, and also incredibly warm and friendly. They made us feel at ease and totally prepared, even with the adrenaline of flying doorless. But the true magic? It’s that feeling of freedom — legs dangling out of a helicopter, ocean breeze in your face, the whole city at your feet. It’s Rio like you’ve never seen it before — wild, elegant, and alive. If you’re looking for something truly extraordinary in Rio de Janeiro, this open-door helicopter tour is it. It’s not just a tour — it’s a once-in-a-lifetime moment that will leave you breathless, humbled, and completely in love with this incredible city. 10/10 — Worth every second, every penny, every heartbeat.
