Sensational experience - We had an amazing experience with Helisight! Our flight was originally scheduled at 10:00am and it was very cloudy so the team was kind enough to wait untill it gets better. We finally flew around 5:30pm after visiting the botanic gardens and we could have an incredible view ! We had a great pilot, manoeuvring very smoothly so we felt very secured. A huge thank to all the team of Helisight for being so kind and attentive 👍

Exceded Expectations! A must-do for anyone visiting Rio. - Absolutely fabulous trip. My friends and I were the first passengrs of the day, and it would have been useful had the ground team explained to us that the pilot needed to take the helicopter to the land pad on Sugar Loaf Mountain first, to fuel-up. Landing expexpectedly in that location and being instructed to dispembark left us very confused. That said, it did mean that our trip lasted a lot longer than expected. We were blessed with blue skies, and the views over the city and of Christ the Redeemer were nothing less than spectacular. I don't think the pilot had much english, but we were not given headsets - for a commentary of even to reduce the engine noise - but, in honesty, this didn't detract from the experience. Rio is such a beautiful city. If you vist, you must spash out and take a helicopter flight. You will not regret it!

Where you sit matters, disappointing if you get the right side seat. - I took the helicopter from sugarloaf. My review would be much different if I had only paid for the Christ the Redeemer option, however I paid for the option that also flew over the beaches. The only people who were able to take part in that view were the person in front and the person on the left side. There is no beach view from the right side. It’s a tiny window with not great views. I suggest they do two passes of the beaches so each side has a chance to see everything they paid for. Just go for the shorter option or book with a different company because there is no guarantee where you will sit, unless you are conventionally beautiful, then you definitely get the front seat I noticed.
