Clients must be able to run off the ramp with the pilot for about a few seconds
Clients have to wait at least for 1 hour at the ramp before they can request cancelation. Delays can happen due to the number of people waiting at the line up, or the window of time between take offs
Summer Time, New Years and Carnival are very busy seasons so delays can happen, which can make the waiting at the line up longer than 1 hour. Avoid booking for these times.

Great experience, but

Dylan_F, Jan 2026

The pilot and experience was great. If you are over 75kg you are signing up for paragliding not hang gliding. There is a safety official at the top that double checks the harnesses before you take off which made me feel even more comfortable. My only complaint is that when I bought the video all of a sudden the price switched from Reals to USD. We are in Brazil, why give me the price in USD? Only reason I can think of is because $220 reals for the video sounds reasonable but $220 USD or 1.150 reals is crazy. I would not have bought the video if I knew the price was $220 USD which I only found out when I checked my bank statement.

Response from Host, Jan 2026

Hi sir this is a serious acusation i need to know who charged you 220 dollars and also if you can send us your bank statement. If we found that is was all true we will refund you the over price paid ok? please contact us at 55 21 964239366
