Just book it - Running off the platform and seeing Rio from a Birds Eye view was an out of body experience. The guides were explained everything thoroughly and recorded the experience from three different angles. You won’t regret booking this experience.

What an experience 🪂 - This was my and my sister’s first time paragliding. Despite doing ziplining several times, we were both pretty nervous leading up to the flight. We arrived later than intended with traffic and we were able to easily communicate this and told that our instructor would still meet us at the meeting point. There we completed a waiver and paid for the insurance as indicated. We then rode up with a couple instructors and another guest up the mountain to the takeoff point. From there, the instructors will put on the backpack gear and set up the parachute. We went on a foggy and not so windy morning, so we had to wait 30mins or so for the sky to clear for takeoff. Our instructor was super friendly and communicative of how to take off and land. Once you’re in the air, enjoy! It’s only 8 minutes down to the beach. We purchased the extra 360 photos and videos that weren’t too expensive given the experience. Definitely would do it again!

Awesome Must Experience! - This was an amazing experience I’ll never forget!!! Views are spectacular! Luis was the best! I did paragliding. Had to wait a little for ten wind to pick up, but there are cute little bars and beach restaurants that serve good food and drinks while you wait. Took 10 min to drive the hill to take off, another 10 to set up, and 10 + min flight. I promise you, it’s an experience you will never forget!

Conquering Fears - I was initially terrified to try hang gliding because I’m afraid of heights, but this experience turned out to be incredible! The pilots were extremely supportive and even prayed with me to help calm my nerves. Their encouragement and kindness made all the difference. The takeoff was scary, but once we were in the air, it was unbelievably fun and exhilarating. The views of Rio from above were stunning, making every moment worth it. I’m so glad I did it and would definitely consider trying paragliding next time. This is a must-try experience for anyone visiting Rio, even if you're afraid of heights!

One of the Best things in Rio to do! - We finally went hang gliding. The wind and rain delayed it several days. Our first try was on a Tuesday, but the winds were too strong, then tried two more times on Friday, but the wind was too strong again, then rain. We rescheduled for Saturday morning and got to go. It was amazing. There were 2 adults and one 14 year old. We all had different pilots, Luis, John, and Paulo. They were super amazing and would highly recommend any of them. The flight was amazing! They let us control the glider ourselves for a little, and it was super fun. If you are coming to Brasil, I would highly recommend it. Just plan early because of the weather. They make it safe and super fun. Note: Be sure to bring your passport or an image it is needed for the I insurance. We got lucky because I had images on my phone. This is definitely a MUST if going to Rio!

Too expensive for 8 minutes - The service was good, and the flight fantastic, but we payed nearly 170€ for a 8 minute fly. That is way too expensive!

too expensive - 200 USD for an 8 minutes flight is way too much. The views were really good though and the instructor was competent
