Step by Step

Fly over Rio de Janeiro by hang glider or paraglider. This experience allows you to enjoy the sensation of soaring like a bird over the iconic beaches of Copacabana and Ipanema, while taking in unparalleled panoramic views of the city. With the guidance of an expert and certified instructor, you'll feel safe and confident as you glide through the sky, exploring a unique perspective of the Brazilian coastline.

You can choose between a hang gliding flight, which allows you to experience the sensation of gliding like a bird taking advantage of the rising air currents, or enjoy the versatility and freedom of paragliding, where you glide under a light and manoeuvrable parachute, offering a more dynamic experience and closer to the sensation of flying freely in the air. The duration of the flight is subject to weather conditions, although the full experience is generally around 1 hour and 30 minutes.

At the end, you will land gently on São Conrado beach, where you can relax and admire Rio's coastal scenery. You will also have the opportunity to capture every moment of your flight with a GoPro camera, receiving the footage immediately to relive and share this unique adventure.

Don't worry about safety, as before you start, you'll receive a full training session to prepare you for the flight, and throughout the experience you'll be accompanied by an expert instructor who will ensure your safety at all times.
