André and Flávio were incredible. They were thoughtful and both have over 25 years of experience. The experience was one of our favorites while in Rio!

Flavio was such a wonderful instructor! He made me feel very at ease and explained his 30+ years of paragliding as well as how he is a teacher for others. He was calm, gave great instruction, and made me feel very comfortable understanding what was expected. The videos came out great!!! Easy to book and great instruction as well. Thank you!!!
What a wonderful experience it was dealing with Rick. Despite my flight being cancelled due to a lack of wind, Rick provided the best customer service I have ever experienced. He saw to it that I received a refund, even when I didn't think I would. When he called to explain the situation, I was amazed by the passion in his voice and his dedication to seeking "justice" for me. It is truly impressive to see someone with such a deep commitment to their job; it felt like he would go to the ends of the earth to make things right. Rick is truly one of a kind. Thank you, Rick, for all your support and passion!
Lie to you about canceling due to unforseen circumstances. Kept on blaming each other. Viator and vendor
This experience was amazing! Their communication was excellent, and they were super friendly. I would definitely book with them again.
The pilots, Andreia and Flavio, were excellent and the flight was thrilling. Awesome video. Get the 360 version. Conditions were optimal. Were flew during the busy Carnival season, but they still need some help in preflight preparation at the meeting spot. Nicole did not answer our calls. We arrived :30 early and wandered aimlessly asking all the tables if our flight was with them - there are no clues, directions, signs, or insights as to who we were flying. Finally someone came around asking a number of people if they were me. We flew 2.5 hrs after our scheduled time. All in all, we would do it again - you just nees to be patient.
Best experience ever! Rio adventures is very accommodating and patient with all my requests. Andre and Carlos are the best.
Fabio the pilot was fantastic! Years of experiance and a top instructor. So I felt really safe in his hands. And he was a fun personable guy. Who loved his job. I highly recommend Fabio, this activity and Rio Adventures.
My pilot was very friendly and informative. The experience was very good. The company was great. It would be nice if they figured out their payment process a better.
Delton is the nicest man ever! Extremely grateful for the opportunity and experience to paraglide in Brazil. High recommend to check out. Definitely worth the cost.
Incredible experience, 11/10! Loved it! Andreas and the team are amazing at what they do. Amazing views, unique experience to see Rio de Janeiro from the air and float over the mountains and the beach.
Great experience! The guide let me pilot at one point and did some good manoeuvres. I was nervous at first but he really calmed me. Highly recommend.
Fantastic experience, I would recommend to anyone! The staff were great fun, extremely helpful & professional, putting my girlfriend at ease as she was a little nervous! The views were incredible from the top all the way to landing .. 10/10 would do again in a heartbeat!

Just trust Andre is such an amazing instructor , very knowledgeable years of experience really made me feel welcome and at easy, took his his time to show me the surroundings and explained the process . An amazing experience all around couldn’t asked for a very instructor from the very beginning and to the end . Thank you so much for the videos and the experience.
The guides for paragliding in Rio are professional, friendly, and knowledgeable, ensuring a safe and enjoyable ride. The views of Rio's skyline are breathtaking and truly unforgettable, making for a once-in-a-lifetime experience.
The overall experience was great. I thoroughly enjoyed paragliding. My only issue is that my pilot/tour guide seemed to get kind of snappy and irritated with me very easily. Before taking off, I simply asked him "what should I hold onto during the flight" and he got so annoyed. During the flight he kept yelling at me to "close my legs" - my legs were as closed as they could be. Mid flight I realized what he was really trying to say was CROSS your legs.
Great experience. Very professional and courteous. I received some awesome 360 videos. Will definitely do this again. Thanks a million Andrea.
Paragliding was the first activity I did when I traveled to Rio. It was an fantastic experience. Andre Tavares (Andrezinho) is a very nice guy, great pilot. He did a great job with the flight, he took great pictures of our flight and the 360 videos were awesome.
I had a super and amazing experience. My pilot Andrezinho was super professional and a great support system. He completely put my fear of height to rest. This is an amazing experience. Great company!!! Great pilot!!! Amazing activity!!! I highly recommend this activity. Lovvvvve it!!!!?
This was a beautiful experience. My pilot Andrezinho was awesome, professional and a great support system. He guided me to the point of forgetting my fear of high. This is super great and fun activity. Highly recommend it
AmaZing time! I was paired with Ronaldo and made the experience seamless! I’m scared of heights and did this and it was truly fun!
Awesome flight with Ronaldo! I felt completely safe and the scenery is spectacular - I really recommend this.
My two brothers and I had a great experience hang gliding. It was less scary than I expected it would be. Highly recommended.
It was really fantastic. Like birds. Free and happy. Congrats to the team. The communication was very good with the organizers. The professional pilot. It's easy to train and everything is safe.Whoever deserves to live such an experience. Do not hesitate, you can do it.
This absolutely amazing. The weather was perfect so it took an hour total. Amazing views of the city and awesome experience. 100% a must do! I had Flavio as my guide while my boyfriend had Andres (he didn’t speak much English but took amazing pictures).
Muito top experiência surreal. Gostei demais obrigado pela experiência com os melhores do Rio de Janeiro
