Exhilarating Experience

Fabrice_T, Mar 2025

This was a once in a lifetime experience. Everybody needs to paraglide at some point in their lives. Augusto is a great pilot and the communication from start to finish was superb. Highly highly recommend.

Response from Host, Mar 2025

Fabrice, thank you very much for your comment. You can be sure that none of this would be possible if you weren't a special person with high energy. You were very determined and managed to push yourself beyond your limits. We'll always be there for you. The team is grateful to have had the experience with you. Thank you (Augusto Prates)

Horrible worst instructor ever !! (Don’t book)

Ty_B, Mar 2025

For starters it was impossible to get in contact with the operators then once I did they changed our times off take off 3 times (very unprofessional) then once we got there everything seemed to be fine till we got in this tiny car packed to the fullest , once we got on the mountain my girlfriends instructor was very friendly & nice guy mine on the other hand no so much very rude & irritated he literally paraglided without me leaving me on a mountain by myself with no communication, I then had to contact the company & waited 2 hours on this mountain by myself while my girlfriend was stranded on the beach by herself while I waited for a new instructor to come. Then the company finally sent me a new person then we took off a 2 hour event turned to 4 1/2 hours waisting alot of my time ruining my itinerary. I was not happy at all then they lied saying they fired my original instructor when I seen him back on the mountain as I was preparing to jump horrible company & experience would not book or recommend these guys what so ever !!!!!!

Response from Host, Mar 2025

Dear Ty Burton, We respect your feedback, but it is important to clarify a few points: Every time you contacted us, we responded immediately via WhatsApp, and we have all messages archived for record-keeping purposes. Regarding our transportation to the takeoff ramp, please note that we do not carry luggage, but rather flight equipment, which is transported along with the instructors and clients. The vehicles used are specifically designated for this short and quick route, which takes approximately 15 minutes. At the ramp, multiple companies operate paragliding flights, and there is a designated order for takeoff that we must respect. Additionally, we are required to follow strict safety protocols and conduct proper training before takeoff. As we are currently in high season, the takeoff area is very busy with many people and tourists. Regarding the instructor, we sincerely apologize; he is no longer providing services for our company and was replaced immediately. As for your girlfriend, she was not left unattended at the landing area. The instructor who flew with her provided full assistance until your arrival. The flight club has all the necessary infrastructure to accommodate clients from all companies. Finally, we completed the flight with you, and to compensate for any inconvenience, we provided you and your girlfriend with videos recorded on the Insta 360-degree camera, which is not included in the standard booking package. We are truly sorry for any discomfort you experienced, and we assure you that this does not reflect our company’s standards, as evidenced by our excellent reviews on Viator, of which we are proud members. In any case, we are always at your disposal. Best regards

If in doubt DO IT!!

Courtney_T, Dec 2023

We had the most wonderful experience with Augusto and Octavio, we were scared but they made us feel at ease and everything ran so smoothly from the drive to the safety briefing, waiting a short period for the optimum wind etc. You get a fantastic view of the sites of Rio, an unbelievable view you wouldn’t otherwise see, and even get to steer yourself. We got our 360 videos straight after the flight, great touch everything was included. Amazing!! Thank you for making our Xmas, Feliz Natal xx

Response from Host, Dec 2023

Our team appreciates your comments and we will always be at your disposal. The couple was wonderful, both during takeoff and landing. They are very happy and have high spirits. We wish you a happy 2024 with great prosperity and especially health.

Awesome first paragliding experience with views of Rio!

Michael_G, Nov 2023

Awesome experience. Safe and great fun with a superb view of Rio all the way to Corcovado and Pão de Açúcar (sugarloaf mountain). Enjoyed Augusto’s friendly and skillful instruction and great service.

Response from Host, Dec 2023

Hi Michael I hope you are well. You were perfect in both takeoff and landing. It was a great pleasure to have the experience with you. You are very cheerful with super energy. We'll be always at your service. Grateful

Fantastic paragliding experience

Charlie_F, Nov 2023

I had a fantastic paragliding experience with Augusto at Bom Voo. I was scared, but he explained what I had to do clearly, made me feel safe, and gave me motivation to take the leap! Everything was smooth and easy. And very fun. The view is beautiful, and the feeling of floating in the sky is exhilarating. They give you a full video of the jump as part of the experience. Great value. Definitely do it and do it with Bom Voo. I had seen a Tiktok that recommended them, and I'm glad I listened.

Response from Host, Nov 2023

Our team is grateful to have had the opportunity to meet people with so much positive energy. We will always be at your disposal. Augusto Prates Bomvoo.rio Team

Bonjour Thomas, merci pour votre commentaire. Notre expérience a été très amusante. Vous et votre ami avez été parfaits tout au long du processus de vol. Nous serons toujours là pour vous. Salutations de notre équipe (Augusto et Tavinho)

MAGIQUE !!!

Ambre_A, Dec 2023

Superbe expérience avec Octavio qui a un contact très chaleureux et rassurant par ses explications (en très bon Français). L’expérience s’est transformée en 1er cours de pilotage, ce qui rajoute un grand intérêt. C’est magique de voler avec les oiseaux, d’admirer la Canopée et l’océan. Ne ratez pas pas cela

Response from Host, Dec 2023

Notre équipe apprécie vos commentaires et nous serons toujours à votre disposition. Ce fut un grand plaisir d'avoir volé avec vous. Nous profitons de cette occasion pour vous souhaiter une bonne année 2024 avec beaucoup de prospérité et de santé.
