Hanginggg For My Birthday - The EXPERIENCE & staff is amazinggg! They're patience and understanding as long as you properly communicate. I was have some minor delays in my arrival appointed time due to some roads being closed and the driver had to take an alternate route. Everything went smooth sailing. The instructors are very happy and friendly about your upcoming experience!! The RIDE AND THE VIEW IS UNBELIEVABLE

Our favorite activity in Rio - Hanggliding o er the Rio beaches was my daughter’s favorite activity on our trip to Brazil. Mariana was responsive to our booking and the pilot was fun and highly skilled. We watched many La sings in the beach and his were consistently the best.

Pics and videos are now a family treasure - If you are considering this tour with this company, and you have some hesitation because of price or fear, I'm here to tell you that you MUST overcome your doubts. Each member of my family of four (wife and two teenagers) had a blast. My wife said that this was the coolest activity she has ever done... and we are in our early fifties as a point of reference. We felt that way because of a sum of factors: flying of course, but the beauty of this part of Rio (somewhat off the beaten path since most tourist rarely venture west of Leblon) it's a beauty to behold. On top of that, Renato especially (co-owner and instructor) but also Beto (instructor) made us feel safe and comfortable. Renato Janssens is a man that obviously loves his job, but let's not forget about his wife Mariana who runs operations and more importantly, processes the pictures and video. This couple provides top world class customer service. My teenagers loved this so much that upon landing they asked us for a commemorative t-shirt. Pics and videos from this day are now a family treasure. About the price: every operator charges about the same, since this is regulated by an association. About fear: if you are like most people, you will be afraid for about a half second, then you will be overcome by the experience. We did this in early August, a time of the year characterized by perfect blue skies and the type of winds and breeze that suits best this activity.

Amazing experience! - This was an amazing experience! Everything was perfect and very organized. We arrived at the meet up spot where we were introduced to our pilot. They made us feel extremely comfortable and explained how safe it was and how experienced they are. We then took a car ride to the mountain and the views were incredible! We got a safety briefing and suited up. The flight was amazing and got awesome views of the beach and the mountain. The whole time, my pilot made me feel extremely safe and he was very informative. Afterwards, we viewed our footage of the experience and we had the option of buying the additional 360 view footage which was sooo worth it!
