What are people saying about Rio de Janeiro

PitLeong_Y, Jun 2026

Absolute highlight of Rio with this amazing crew!

Wow! If you are on the fence about booking a sunset cruise in Rio, just do it—and book with Sail in Rio! This is an absolute must-do activity to experience the unmatched beauty of Rio's ocean and mountain landscape. Seeing the city from the perspective of the Atlantic bay gives you unparalleled, front-row views of Sugarloaf Mountain and Christ the Redeemer that you simply cannot get from land. From the very first minute, the hospitality from the three crew members—Daniel, Chloe, and their wonderful colleague who kept us refreshed with fantastic drinks—was absolutely top-notch. As an international traveler, it was fantastic that their English was 100% clear and completely comprehensible, making communication completely effortless. The team was highly organized and professional, already waiting to greet us at 2:30 PM at the entrance for our 3:00 PM start. Their attention to detail, genuine care, and warmth made the entire 3-hour sea journey feel incredibly special. They kept the excellent drinks flowing, the snacks were great, and they anticipated every need—even providing fresh towels for anyone who wanted to take a swim and warm blankets to keep everyone comfortable the moment the sun went down. Watching the sea landscape change as the sun dropped behind the mountains was unforgettable, topped off by absolutely perfect weather on June 20! An incredible boat, an immaculate vibe, and an amazing crew. I cannot recommend the team highly enough!

This was my second time...

This was my second time visiting Rio. During my first visit, I did not take a tour, but this time I chose a guided experience and really enjoyed the convenience and freedom of having someone else drive us around and handle the logistics. I traveled with my family, and they also really enjoyed the tour. We were able to relax, take in the sights, and even made new friends with others on the van, which made the experience even more enjoyable.

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.

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.

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

Absolutely unforgettable experience!

Flying over Rio de Janeiro by helicopter was hands down one of the most incredible experiences of my life. Seeing the city from above is something words can barely describe, the views of the coastline, the mountains, and the city itself were simply breathtaking. Everything felt professional and safe from start to finish. The pilot was friendly, calm, and clearly very experienced, which made the whole experience even better. Taking off and soaring above such an iconic city gave me chills, it’s a totally different perspective of Rio that you just can’t get from the ground. If you’re in Rio and considering this experience, do it without hesitation. It’s worth every second and every cent. I would 100% do it again and recommend it to anyone looking for a once-in-a-lifetime adventure!

Memorable Aerial Rio Birthday Present

The heli over Rio is a MUST experience. I wanted to give my friend an amazing birthday present and this hit the spot. I asked for a memorable time near sunset and they delivered just that! If you have reservations due to fear of heights, trust me you’ll feel safe! My friend and I afraid of heights and falling, and we both felt so extremely safe. We arrived super early due to unknown traffic time, but they had a well supplied, air conditioned lounge with a restroom. The snacks included for free were cookies, coffee, and water. The snacks included for purchase were champagne, juices, and a variety of other snacks. The staff was very accommodating and kept us up to date of our appointment. They were running slightly behind, to allow engineers cool down between flights (highlighting they keep safety in mind). Book the flight!!!
