A Must - The door less helicopter tour over Rio de was, without question, one of the most exhilarating and awe-inspiring experiences of my life. From the very first lift-off to the final descent, everything about this tour was flawless. Soaring high above the sparkling Atlantic Ocean without doors on the helicopter, the warm breeze rushing in, and the city’s iconic beauty unfolding beneath us — it felt like a dream. Flying right past the majestic Christ the Redeemer, close enough to see the serene expression on his face, was something I’ll never forget. The pilot circled slowly, giving us a perfect, unobstructed view of the statue towering over the city — it felt sacred, surreal, and powerful all at once. And then there’s Sugarloaf Mountain, rising like a sentinel from the sea. As we curved around it with nothing but air between us and the earth below, the perspective was simply mind-blowing. The views stretched from the vibrant neighborhoods of Rio to the golden curves of Copacabana and Ipanema beaches — the colors, the contrast, the sheer drama of the landscape was overwhelming in the best way. The staff and crew were outstanding — professional, safety-conscious, and also incredibly warm and friendly. They made us feel at ease and totally prepared, even with the adrenaline of flying doorless. But the true magic? It’s that feeling of freedom — legs dangling out of a helicopter, ocean breeze in your face, the whole city at your feet. It’s Rio like you’ve never seen it before — wild, elegant, and alive. If you’re looking for something truly extraordinary in Rio de Janeiro, this open-door helicopter tour is it. It’s not just a tour — it’s a once-in-a-lifetime moment that will leave you breathless, humbled, and completely in love with this incredible city. 10/10 — Worth every second, every penny, every heartbeat.

Unreal experience - The views were amazing, we showed up early before our selected slot and we were offered an earlier flight. The scenery is unmatched to anything I’ve ever seen. So worth the money
