Amazing experience! Highly recommend. The weather was perfect and the guide was great. He knew I was nervous and we needed to do it sooner than later. We did just that and the execution was perfect.

É normal que fique nervoso diante dessa incrível experiência que é voar livre como os pássaros, mas como voce pode vivenciar, todos os medos desaparecem durante o voo e o que fica é um momento de puro encantamento. Obrigado

The contractor canceled this activity and said that viator never should have scheduled it. Since I scheduled it the same day, I could not cancel it through viator without agreeing to not receive a refund.

I am the pilot responsible and the fault was entirely mine and Viator has no responsibility for it. I failed to anticipate that the demand for hang gliding that day after Carnaval wuld be greater than our capacity to meet. We ran out of pilots an time. I apologize and please send a e-mail to Viator explaining the caancellation and you will be fully refunded . Thank you for undestanding

Such an amazing experience and our guide Assad Junior is so kind and makes you feel so comfortable. To jump off a cliff, it takes faith with your instructor(s) and Assad & his team gives you that courage! You do have to take the leap of faith though. It is so worth it. Once you are airborne looking over all of Rio… you feel this huge sense of peace and almost spiritual experience. Every day is a gift… gift this experience for yourself. You will thank yourself and experience less fear in Life because isn’t that is what Life is about? Eliminating our fears and enjoying a beautiful Life.

We were not able to go due to poor weather conditions, but they did not hesitate in giving us a full refund. I will try them again, feeling 100% confident in their integrity.

If there are two things that are must dos in Rio, I would say this is one of them along with visiting Christ the Redeemer. The experience is priceless and a memory you will never forget. You get the option to buy a t shirt and your go pro pictures and videos from the cameras 2 mounted on the hang glider. Kids under 16 are not allowed, much to the dismay of my son who already wants his 16th birthday in Rio.
