• Heli-Rio Taxi Aereo - A personal driver or tour guide will greet you at your hotel in Rio and take you on a picturesque 1-hour drive to the helipad, situated in the Recreio dos Bandeirantes neighborhood, in the city’s western area. The journey follows the coastline, offering stunning views of several of Rio’s beaches along the way.

Upon arrival, a safety briefing and instructions on helicopter boarding and disembarking procedures will be provided. Once prepared, you’ll take off and fly over Rio’s most iconic landmarks, enjoying breathtaking aerial views of the city.

Two types of tours are available: private or shared. With the private tour, you can select your preferred time in advance, and the helicopter is reserved exclusively for you for the chosen itinerary.

• Heli-Rio Taxi Aereo - For the shared tour, once your booking is confirmed, we’ll inform you of the available time slots based on other travelers’ reservations. Your flight will be scheduled according to the best match in date, time range, and route. This option is subject to availability and coordination with other participants.

The aircraft used is chosen by us based on group size and logistics, and may include models such as Robinson R44, Jet Ranger, or AS350 Esquilo.

If the aircraft has one or more seats available beyond your group size, and you’d like our guide to accompany you, we can arrange for them to join the flight and provide live commentary throughout the experience.

This is a fantastic way to enhance your tour with local insights during the flight. Just let us know in advance, and if there’s room, we’ll ensure a guide is onboard. When the aircraft is fully occupied, the pilot will still offer general narration during the tour.
