Very good experience for first time paragliding - I was very nervous for paragliding and everyone was so nice and made it a fun experience! Expect to possibly wait a bit to fly, as the winds have to be right. From arrival to departure, we were there about 2 hours. A lot of that was waiting for the right winds though! There are some spots to get food and drinks while you wait, and bathrooms as well. You can also bring a small purse or bag, they have zippered compartments on the paragliding sling where you can safely stow your belongings while flying! At the end, the staff helps download your video, and the 360 degree video if you want to purchase that.

Awesome experience - The entire experience was awesome. It was a little difficult to locate the guide since there are a ton of different operators working but man o man once you get going you get going. Even the drive up the mountain was awesome. Once I get my blood pressure back to normal I’m going to go again.

Incredible Parasailing Experience!!! - Want a thrill?? This is the place to go!! My wife and I (both of us over 60) went parasailing on August 19, 2024 with San Conrado in Rio de Janeiro. The instructor said that parasailing was the best option that morning because the wind speed was not high enough for hang gliding.
We each had our own instructor (mine was Trota and hers was Luis) and both spoke English and were fun and easy to work with.
After meeting at the office (meeting point) they drove us up to the takeoff point where they prepared the parasails, got us into our equipment and got us into position for taking off with them on a fantastic experience. I’m a retired military helicopter pilot and my wife and I have done sky diving (many years ago) and this was like flying.
The beautiful scenery, the experience of floating through the air and the peacefulness of it all was incredible.
Each instructor had their own GoPro camera on a long stick and at the end of the flight, they downloaded the video directly to our phones.
We felt completely safe from takeoff to landing!! If you’ve always wanted to do this, this place is where you should go while you’re in Rio de Janeiro.

fantastic parasailing experience - The experience was amazing
We arrived a little late but the company and the employees were very nice and polite. They immediately took care of us. We waited about 15-30 min as we had to sign some insurance forms , pay an insurance fee of about $20 per person,which we were not informed until we arrived. Then we had to decide if we were going on a hang glider or a parasail. We all opted for parasailing.
They took us in two cars up to the top of the mountain because there were three of us.
The experience was amazing.
We were all very nervous at the time and it was scary until we took off. Everything went terrific included in the fee was a GoPro video and two of us. The video went perfectly and mine. They had it set to fast-forward so they could never fix it and they tried to make it right for us, OK and I got a few photos and a 360 partial video
But overall it was very memorable experience. I would use this company again it was worth every penny

Fine paragliding! - Was meant to be a hang gliding trip but based on guide advice due to lack of wind went paragliding instead. Having watched some hang gliders take off and just miss the ledge below grateful for his advice. Professional and great chat on the way down.
