JUST DO IT!!!! - This was my 4 time and each time gets better. For this trip, we had one friend who was heavy and afraid. They gave her the perfect guide and I swear he held her hand throughout the entire process. She landed safely and she smiled at me and said….. I DID IT!!! It was the most amazing memory! This company is amazing

Celebrating my birthday in Rio, I had planned a thrilling hang gliding experience, and little did I know it would turn i - Celebrating my birthday in Rio, I had planned a thrilling hang gliding experience, and little did I know it would turn into an adventure with twists and turns. Cloudy Day Dilemma: Opting for a midday session after a night of festivities seemed like a good idea until I arrived. Watching others soar through the sky while waiting for my guide for nearly half an hour, I couldn't help but regret not choosing an earlier time. Unexpected Cloud Interruption: As if on cue, the skies decided to play a trick on me, and thick clouds forced a temporary halt to the activity. I had to hope and wait it out as I unable to come back the next day. However, the allure of the skies kept me waiting. The Long Wait: Three hours later, and with a carnival event looming, the clouds finally parted. I was both excited and relieved to get my chance, even if it meant being the last one in line. Patience paid off, and the anticipation built as I prepared to take flight. Last Flight of the Day: As the last glider to take off, I might not have stayed in the air as long as others, but the breathtaking views over Brazil made every moment worthwhile. The landscape below was awe-inspiring, and the sheer joy of being airborne lifted my spirits. Unexpected Gratitude: To make up for the long wait, my guide surprised me with some video footage of the flight, a gesture that turned my mood around. Despite the initial setbacks, I felt grateful for the unexpected kindness and the chance to have a unique birthday adventure. Final Thoughts: Hang gliding in Rio is a must-do, and despite the cloudy start, I highly recommend it. The hiccups at the beginning were forgotten the moment I was soaring through the air, realizing the beauty of Brazil beneath me. Birthdays are all about unexpected twists, and this one, with its highs and lows, will be a story I cherish. Here's to birthdays, daring escapades, and the unpredictable beauty of Rio! 🎉🪂
