5.00I picked a great day. I waited till a sunny afternoon about 1pm to book with no rain and thunderstorms and light winds. Just beautiful. Great to work with. Very safe and safety checks and re checks of equipment were constantly being done. My pilot rehearsed launched procedures till I had it down. You load up at the base after paperwork then drive up with your glider. You don’t do a thing except stand there and let your pilot place your harness on. It was so beautiful and peaceful. Even let me try to fly a bit. Landing was un rehearsed and all you Sonia stand up when told and you just land in your feet. There is a safety officer on the runway for bystanders clearance and he also knows when you launch. Stay afterwards for a snack and drink at the restaurant while your vids are downloaded. Very affordable $200R or about $36 USD. Great quality too.
Last Minute “let’s jump off a cliff”

5.00Was a great time. Originally was hoping to go hang gliding but unfortunately I’m a bit too large (6’3” 220lbs) for the conditions that day. Paragliding was still a great time and I would highly recommend this crew to take you up on your trip. My pilot spoke fluent English and was able to talk me (a pilot) through all of characteristics of flight, which was super cool.
One more thing off the bucket list!

5.00This was a great experience. Very helpful and knowledgeable pilot - Rodrigo. He explained everything perfectly and was very patient. He speaks English well and was able to put this old man’s mind at ease about jumping off a cliff hanging on to a kite. Definitely recommend.
Amazing experience

5.00This was something my son and I both wanted to do while in Brazil. I was unsure of whether we were going to be able to since my phone was stolen earlier in our trip. We were able to go thanks to the helpful assistance of the Viator on-line chat. The people running this were absolutely fantastic!!! Super helpful and very kind. This was great for both of us since I wanted to Hang Glide and my son wanted to Paraglide. We both were very glad we went. Not only did we get a video for each but we also were sent pictures--what a bonus!!! Highly recommend!
Great experience in Rio, must do...

5.00Amazing experience! Excellent instructions, lots of safety checks, at every step I felt the confidence this would all go well….and once we ran off the platform I knew I made the right choice to have this experience with this team. No regrets. I want to do it again and again!

5.00What an amazing experience! You get about 5 minutes in the air and my pilot, Rodrigo was amazing. Very patient, calm, and even let me try steering the glider which was incredible. You get great views of Rio and it’s incredibly peaceful in the air. Diana was also great at responding and keeping me informed
