Amazing experiejce - Paulo and his crew were amazing. So welcoming and insightful when it came to questions about the experience and overall knowledge of Rio. Sights were beautiful. Paulo is easy to reach and let us know when he thinks the best time to fly was for the overall best experience. This is a must do when in Rio. Highly recommend.

Just fly Rio review - Had the most exhilarating time hang gliding with Paolo and his son Phillipe at Just Fly Rio! Safety was paramount and so we embarked on our quick expedition up the mountain next to Sao Conrado at 8 am to insure we had enough time for the perfect, safe conditions. With Paulo's 37 year experience and Phillipe doing his first jump at the age of 3 we knew we were in safe hands. After a briefing and a few practice runs we were ready to hit the ramp. The initial run gets the heart racing and the adrenaline going as soon as you're flying a sense of relaxation hits as you can hang back and enjoy all the beauty Rio has to offer. I was even lucky enough to see a sting ray swimming in the sea. After about a 5 minute flight followed by a gentle landing on the beach, we sat down and re lived the experience through the various go pros and 360 camera. Would highly recommend Just Fly Rio for an unforgettable experience.

Outstanding hang gliding and paragliding - My wife and I were very excited and happy to have our first hang glide (her) and paraglide (me) ever. Paulo kept in contact with us to ensure we were able to fly as soon as the weather turned favorable. We had been trying for days but the weather was always bad. Other companies simply stopped responding. His staff was very skilled and friendly. The experience was OUTSTANDING. I have several skydives and have been hang gliding once before, but this was a great opportunity in Rio. One GoPro video is included in the price and there is a cash discount.

Amazing first time! - My partner and I had an amazing experience hang gliding with Paulo! He was very thoughtful and communicative, and worked with us patiently over several days to find the best time to fly. It was clear that he prioritizes the safety and the positive experience of the customer above all. We were both flying for the first time and felt very safe and comfortable with Paulo. If you’re looking to fly in Rio, look no further for the best guide!
