Great experience and worth the effort. The team was well organized and efficient. There is an additional cost for insurance (R100-110 per person) so account for that in cost. It was a beautiful day and I would highly recommend this experience.

This was a 5 star experience from beginning to end! I was given contact info with great video directions to the jump site and was greeted immediately upon arrival. The staff was super friendly and I could tell they loved what they did. They were knowledgeable and fun! My experience will always remain unforgettable because of the huge supply of photographs included in the package! Great job!!!!!

Our family of 4 had an absolutely amazing experience hang gliding in Rio guided by Renato and Beto. We were nervous beforehand but they were friendly, funny, engaging, skilled and made us feel at ease and comfortable throughout the activity. I coordinated with Mariana for the scheduling and she was very prompt and helpful with her communications. I would totally recommend using these guys if you want to hang glide in Rio!

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!

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 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

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!
