Incredible experience. My...
Incredible experience. My instructor made me feel very relaxed and I saw the most beautiful views in a peaceful flight down to the beach. One thing to note is that there are weight restrictions due to safety with hang gliding so my partner had to paraglide instead, which we found out the day before. I think all the sails should be the Brazilian flag or colours as it makes the photos and videos even better!

10/10 experience
This experience was amazing!!! The views before you run off a cliff Is amazing lol!! I would definitely do it again. They communicate very well and they informed me that the original time we had booked wouldn't be a good time because of the wind so they recommended a time and it was amazing. The video I got with it was amazing! Trust me I was scared at first but the way my instructor broken it down to me step by step I had little to no worries. Highly recommend Thiago Caldas if you can get him!

Amazing Experience
Hands down the best experience ever! My husband and I came in not really knowing what to expect and a little nervous at first. Nonetheless, from the moment we met with Ricardo he ensure to explain everything and truly make the moment so comfortable! This experience was like no other, truly there were no words to describe this wonderful experaince! Make sure you get a video of the experience it’s worth every penny!

Amazing Lifetime experience!
There were 3 of us and we felt safe and well-cared for. I had the best experience of us all- I was with Luis and he was fantastic! My husband and son were larger- around 200lbs and they felt restricted by the harness which impacted their experience a bit. I was nestled in the seat so just enjoyed the amazing views and it was the most amazing experience ever- I’d do it again and again in a heartbeat!

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! 🪂🇧🇷💙

Rio de Janeiro boasts a beautiful natural setting, with forested mountains backing the blue sea. An epic way to take it all in is via hang glider, where you’ll soar above the city’s skyline and beaches. Rio de Janeiro hang gliding tours often launch from the Tijuca National Park, the world’s largest urban forest, and land on the beach. You’ll be in the competent hands of a professional on these tandem flights, so you don't need any previous experience—just a sense of adventure.
