What are people saying about Rio de Janeiro

Hang Gliding or Paragliding Package experience in Rio

Leilani_H, May 2026

Gliding in Brazil

Ricardo and Rubén are true experts. Once you get there Ricardo explains the process and drives you to the top of the location where you will take off. It was very quick and easy. The landing was smooth. My sister did hand gliding and I did paragliding. Keep in my there is a weight limit for hand gliding. If this is a concern for you ask beforehand. Another thing to be mindful of is there is a fee of 135R for insurance plus another 220-330R for the video. The video is NOT included in the price. In total for each person the activity came out to around $330+(1655R). Overall the price is worth it because safety is very important.

Awesome

Awesome!! One thing i’d do before going is messaging them on whatsapp just to say you’re on your way so they can find you at the spot! I got there 10 minutes before my time and was wandering around the area until they found me. Incredible Experience and would do again 100%

Nassim_L, Apr 2026

Wonderful experience

We asked for a morning trip and they kindly fit our schedule. The team were super friendly and reassuring. We felt very safe throughout and the equiment was in good condition. The flight itself was beautiful. The experience lasts about 90 minutes to two hours from meeting point to exit, at the same place. I fully recommend.

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! 🪂🇧🇷💙

The whole experience was...

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.

Awesome Way to See Rio’s Highlights in One Day

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.

Christ Redeemer, Sugarloaf Mountain and Selarón Steps 6-Hour Tour

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!
