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! 🪂🇧🇷💙

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

Perfect experience!
The experience was amazing, Ricardo was very friendly and very experienced. We could see how trained he was and capable for this kind of adventure. He showed us a great time and was very considerate. Would 100% recommend him to my own family members or other friends.

There was a 2 hour wait while we were up at the top, but that isn’t due to the fault of anyone! Wind conditions must be up to par before you go. I appreciate the safety precautions! Our guides were very professional and knowledgeable. They made sure we got awesome footage and got to see the most beautiful views! Would highly recommend.

Hit all the Highlights
A great tour of the highlights! I originally planned to do the full day tour with lunch and decided to change to a half day tour. I'm so glad I confirmed this half-day option. This tour included the usual highlights: Christ the Redeemer, Sugarloaf Mountain via cable cars, and Selaron Steps. I wish we had about 10 more minutes at the steps but it was due to a group of selfish tourists ahead of me in line for the section of the steps with the name who decided to do a full photoshoot of about 5 poses per person with different combinations of the 6 people in their group and ignored the pleas of others in the line. It didn't seem like the other tourists in my group wanted the extra time for shopping provided during the Sugarloaf Mountain part of the tour. Perhaps, the guides can ask for general preferences at the beginning of the tour and modify times accordingly. Lucia(Lucy) was a wonderfully kind and patient tour guide and the driver, Marco Antonio, was great, as well. Lucy provided extensive historical information and graciously answered questions from the group all while alternating effortlessly from English to Spanish to Portuguese while maintaining a smile. Book this tour! See the highlights and still have your afternoon free to explore. Tips: 1. Prepare accordingly if you have motion sickness as ascending and descending the mountains can be rough and winding, 2. Get in line for the steps first if you want the part with the name. Then, take pictures in other sections if you have time, 3. See if the location of your country or state's tile is listed online so you know where it is and can take a picture quickly and not waste time looking for it, 4. Don't worry about all the people in your pictures as you can easily remove them with AI like I did😉

Great Tour!
The hubby and I booked this tour the day before(11/11/25), kind off the last minute as our scheduled tour was rescheduled. We were picked up from our hotel in a comfortable Mercedes van. The guide, Publiano, was very friendly, knowledgeable, professional and ensured that everyone was having a great time. I was extremely impressed that Mr. Publiano was able to converse with all of us who spoke various languages: Spanish, English and Portuguese. Everyone was well informed and was treated equally! Mr. Publiano took great photos for everyone at all the locations. My husband and I had a great time and I would recommend!

Half day tour to St Teresa and the Seleron steps
We had a great time with Emma, the train had a very long wait possibly up to 2hrs so Emma asked if we would mind switching the tour around which we were happy to do. The steps are amazing, St Teresa is very arty and bohemian so great for street art lovers in particular.

This Is a Must Do Tour In Rio!
After much trepidation my partner & I decided to embark on this tour and it was the best thing we did! Fascinating, enlightening, insightful, eye-opening and at no point did we feel unsafe! Trips like this just show how media narratives, which shapes our perceptions about places are not always accurate. That’s not to say the favelas are a paradise or bad things don’t happen, it’s to say that many good things also happen in this place that is brimming with culture, character and some incredibly resilient, resourceful people. Shoutout to our guide Carlos who not only come and picked us up and made us feel safe throughout the tour, but was very knowledgeable, affable, welcoming and passionate about his community. THIS IS A MUST DO TOUR WHEN IN RIO!
