Just do it, it’s so good - We kicked off our 8 day trip to Rio with this hang gliding experience and couldn’t be happier! It was thrilling and amazing. We felt very safe and the instructors were informative and kind. Communication was made easy with WhatsApp which I appreciated. I have a feeling this will remain the highlight of our week and I highly recommend it!

Good but be ready to wait - Very nice experience. But you have to be patient sometimes. Had to wait 2.5 hours for the wind to come. Some people very more lucky with timing ⏱️. Safe for solo travelers.

10/10 recommend I wish I can do more of it - 10/10 experience. Easy, comfortable, beautiful. Will do it again in a heart beat. I wish I had more time and money to do it a couple more times. I was lucky to have a clear beautiful morning - make sure you time your best weather day during the stay for this. The view up there is even better than on Christ the redeemer and sugar loaf

What a dream! - I highly recommend this experience. If you are on the fence about whether to hang glide with this business, make the "leap" and go hang gliding. I have wanted to hang glide ever since I visited Rio 5 years ago after seeing the hang gliders causing through the clouds while hiking. The experience was well worth the wait. After meeting with my very energetic and enthusiastic instructor, I was on the mountain top at the exact time of my appointment ready to make my leap. I was able to ask questions, get comfortable with the instructions, and just enjoy the view from the Pedra Bonita. The weather conditions were pretty good so I had about a 10 min flight. Felt like a complete bird. Even while in flight, the instructor gave me tips on how to hang glide, let me drive a bit, and gave pointers at what I was looking at in front or below me. It really felt like a first class experience. I raved so much about it, my friend who was on the fence (scared of heights) went hang gliding with this business the next day and loved it!

Whole family LOVED this!! - We saw hang gliders landing on the beach and thought - WHAT?!?! A little nervous to jump off a cliff with strangers in a foreign country…. But we actually felt very safe with this group. Good pilots, equipment in good shape, and videos delivered as promised. They asked me to paraglide instead of hang glide since I’m close to 90 kg. But I think I got the better ride! It was an awesome experience!

Awesome Rio and Iguazu falls - One of the best places we visited. People are friendly, food is great and landscape is unforgettable. After a really good start in Rio we head to the beaches in Copacabana and Ipanema. After staying for 5 days in Rio, we flew to Iguazú falls - both BRASIL and Argentina.

Super Experience in the air - Amazing experience! On the day of the flight I contacted Mariana to make sure weather condition were optimal. I received a warm information over the phone. Upon arrival to the meeting point I had a similar warm welcome both from Mariana and Renato, my pilot. After filling out the paperwork we jumped into the vehicle that would take us to “Piedra Bonita”, the launch site. Upon arrival, I was instructed on the safety nuances of the flight, all done in the most friendly manner by Renato. Then after suiting we approached the ramp and with a short run we were in the air. The experience of a lifetime. Don’t fear, you will love every minute of it.
