Amazing views and once in a lifetime experience - Nicole was very helpful and communicative. The hang gliding itself and the pilot were amazing and definitely a must do activity when in Brasil. If you’re planning on hang gliding, I definitely recommend this company.

Hang gliding flight - We had the best experience of our lives!! With a friend we flew with pilot Zero, experienced and very friendly pilot. The experience was amazing, it was the first time for both of us and we had a great time. I totally recommend this agency and activity if you are looking for some thrills. As a bonus, the scenery was sublime, and the weather perfect (: Thank you again.

Great experience, but - 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.

Good hang gliding, terrible organisation - We went hang gliding with Rio Adventures in January 2026, and booked the night before when all of the other companies were already full. Whilst the hang gliding itself was fun and safe, the organisation beforehand was really poor. We arrived at about 8:50 for our 9am booking, and there was one lady (Nicole) who we were told to go and find to arrange our flight. She told us there were delays of about an hour, and that the conditions were not good for hang gliding, that we were too tall/heavy for hang gliding (we are both below 75kg and saw bigger people than us landing regularly), and that we should do paragliding instead. I had read reviews the evening before that mentioned that she had tried to convince others to change their decision with this approach, and so I refused and said we would wait. After talking to the guys at the information desk, we learned that the conditions were actually perfect, and it was just a matter of Rio Adventures overbooking and not having any pilots lined up. Our pilots also confirmed the conditions were perfect. It seems to be the system that all of the pilots are self-employed and the booking agencies pay them to take customers up. We waited 1 hour and 45 minutes after our booking time to get a pilot, even after regularly asking Nicole for updates on our flight, so take note of that if you have any other bookings for the same day. I would recommend going with a different company, even if it means paying more.

AVOID NICOLE - We had this activity booked for 11am and arrived well in time as we were really looking forward to it. We was told a woman called Nicole would see to us after around 40 mins (way after scheduled time). When she finally turned up we were told all the instructors were busy and were told to wait a further 60 mins, we agreed but actually ended up there for 3 hours. She then lied that we cant do it as the winds were too fast but we could see numerous instructors carrying out hand gliding. She offered us to do paragliding instead which I fail to understand how the wind was safe for one but not the other. She asked us to wait again which we did and she never came back and wasted 5 hours of our time. She offered a refund for the deposit we paid but we would have to deal with it ourselves and email as she was too lazy to do so. The auto refund came in without me contacting them so it seems she just didn't want to do her job and also she refused 2 other British couples which she also avoided responsibility for. We did thankfully do this activity after we approached another instructor who had us in the air within 30 mins! DO NOT BOOK WITH THIS COMPANY HER NAME IS NICOLE

Very unorganised - Very badly organised. Took over 4 hours to do the flight, with the vast majority of that just waiting around with no updates when asked. Everyone in our group went up and did the flight at different times so we were waiting alone too. Choose another company.
