Highlights
- Access to the Pedra Bonita Free Flight Ramp - Our journey commences at the picturesque São Conrado beach, where I’ll be awaiting your arrival at the prearranged time. We’ll proceed to the flight club where I’ll handle the necessary paperwork and liability forms, as these are essential steps for ensuring your adventure is nothing short of spectacular!\nNext, we’ll ascend to the Pedra Bonita ramp in my vehicle, which can accommodate up to two additional spectators to witness the splendor of my ‘office’ during a 15-minute drive. At the ramp, we’ll conduct a briefing session where I’ll thoroughly explain the takeoff and landing maneuvers, and we’ll also practice a sprint. At 520 meters high, the thrill is unparalleled. We’ll gear up with the safety equipment, and then undergo a final check by a supervisor who inspects all the gear and connections for utmost safety - we aim for a memorable experience, after all.\nOnce everything is in order, we’ll advance to the edge of the ramp. I’ll have you gaze out at the stunning vista and inquire, ‘Are you ready?’ to which you’ll undoubtedly respond affirmatively.\nWe’ll count down from three, take about six strides, and launch into the air. From that point on, you can relax your arms and bask in the most extraordinary sensation of liberation.

Amazing experience - What an amazing experience! You get about 5 minutes in the air and my pilot, Rodrigo was amazing. Very patient, calm, and even let me try steering the glider which was incredible. You get great views of Rio and it’s incredibly peaceful in the air. Diana was also great at responding and keeping me informed

Hang gliding over Rio with Rodrigo and supported by his wife Diana ! - It was an absolutely awesome experience - I can not rate it high enough.
From booking to completing the event, Rodriguez and Diana were professional.
Both communicate very well in English, and having pictures and a video included in the package really helped keep the memories.
If you want to hang glide, there are not many places as beautiful as Rio to do it.
Breath taking and a memory my wife and I will always treasure.
Thank you, Rodrigo and Diana

Rio hang gliding is a must do! - Fabulous experience. Would do again with this company. The pilots were friendly and professional. We felt safe with them since they were able to explain what we needed to do to be safe.

Mesmerizing, unforgettable - These guys are the real deal. They have 20+ years of experience, and the glide was smooth. They made the process easy and efficient from beginning to end. Definitely worth it. Nito was my guy and he did awesome. This is an easy 10/10. They use GoPros 10 & 9.
