The guide and his son were super friendly and explained everything about the activity in detail. They took the time to answer all my questions and made the whole experience even more enjoyable. I had an amazing time with them and would definitely recommend this activity to anyone visiting Rio. Don’t miss out on this experience! 😊

This was by far the best experience I’ve ever had in my life! I came to Brazil as a solo traveler. I wanted to do hang gliding for so long but I’ve always been anxious. However, my pilot made me feel so comfortable! He was amazing, and made the flight feel so smooth. He is amazing and has so much knowledge along with years of experience!
They were great. We were celebrating my daughter completing Chemotherapy and they were so sweet and made sure she was good! She said it was the best ever!
If you’re nervous about flying for the first time, book with Ricardo. None of us had ever done hang gliding or paragliding before, but Ricardo made the entire experience seamless and unforgettable. He is professional, deeply knowledgeable about the winds and flight conditions, and speaks excellent English, which made communication effortless. The pricing was very reasonable, especially considering the level of service and the breathtaking views. Every single person in our group had a ball. 10/10!
My friend and I both wanted to hang glide and Ricardo made it happen and did an amazing job. Felt super safe and clearly communicated everything. 10/10 experience.
My friend and I had a brilliant experience hang gliding. Ricardo and his son were great guides from start to finish. They gave us great instruction and made sure we felt safe and happy. We would definitely reccomend Ricardo for this fantastic experience!
Ricardo is a very nice guy and made the whole process very easy. I definitely recommend going with him. Would def do it again!
It was amazing and the pilots were great…. All around safe and great experience….. I’d do it again… this is highly recommended if you visit Brazil
Amazing experience with Ricardo, everything went well and we had a good time with him i highly recommend
Hands down the best experience ever! My husband and I came in not really knowing what to expect and a little nervous at first. Nonetheless, from the moment we met with Ricardo he ensure to explain everything and truly make the moment so comfortable! This experience was like no other, truly there were no words to describe this wonderful experaince! Make sure you get a video of the experience it’s worth every penny!
It was a once in a lifetime experience! The crew was very professional and made my family and I very comfortable. Bruno and Ricardo were excellent pilots, I would 100 percent recommend.
I booked the evening before, and Ricardo answered immediately and answered all my questions. He made it a really good experience. I felt really safe and had so much fun. Would really recommend!
Ricardo was an incredible, friendly, approachable person to hang glide with for the first time. He provided a safe, comfortable, exciting experience with scenery that can't be beat. I would love the opportunity to join Ricardo again on a tandem hang glide.
Ricardo was extremely diligent, and made sure that my experience was incredible! My initial flight time was booked as 10:00, but we had to postpone slightly based on not ideal wind conditions. He communicated very well and efficiently through WhatsApp the entire time. Once we started at 11:00, he was very organized and flexible to ensure everything was going well. The slight wait was certainly worth it, we had an exceptional flight! Would recommend to anyone. One note: you have to pay for a separate insurance with the hang-gliding club of Rio. This is the case with all tours. It is 120 BRL if using cash, or 132 BRL using card, so it may be worth to bring cash for this.
Had a great experience with Asa Delta. We originally booked hang gliding but the wind conditions did not allow so we did paragliding instead. It was a fantastic experience from start to finish and I would highly recommend.
Ricardo and Rubén are true experts. Once you get there Ricardo explains the process and drives you to the top of the location where you will take off. It was very quick and easy. The landing was smooth. My sister did hand gliding and I did paragliding. Keep in my there is a weight limit for hand gliding. If this is a concern for you ask beforehand. Another thing to be mindful of is there is a fee of 135R for insurance plus another 220-330R for the video. The video is NOT included in the price. In total for each person the activity came out to around $330+(1655R). Overall the price is worth it because safety is very important.
Ricardo was so helpful and knowledgeable! He called us ahead of time and asked us to come earlier due to weather conditions. He made us feel extremely safe and has a ton of experience.
This was the amazing experience just wow!! Ricardo was simply the best!! This is a must do when in Rio!! Brazil owes me nothing!! I literally cried at how amazing Gods creation is! Thank you for a seamlessly amazing flight!! 🙏🏾
Ricardo was the best. The weather was very foggy and raining but he assured me that we were going to fly. I decided to be patient with the weather and stayed. During the flight I felt very secure with him and he was very attentive. I booked with him directly and the responses were very fast as well.
Amazing experience!! Felt super safe and secure the entire flight! Ricardo knew exactly what he was doing. Had the time of my life, worth every penny!! If you are ever in Rio, I recommend this company 10 times over it’s awesome!
I went paragliding with a few of my friends and I will say it was so much fun! The instructor Ricardo and his team were friendly and respectful to me and my friends. We were a bit nervous at first, but they were very thorough with their instructions and reassured us about our safety. They also offer the full video experience for sale after the ride. The only thing I would say is to be mindful that whether you paraglide or hang glide depends on your body weight. It is to ensure a safer ride! Also make sure to bring a small bag with your personal items, it will be stored in the harness
I had an amazing time! Ricardo Hamond is super experienced, has flown tens of thousands of times, and had such a chill vibe which put me at ease. I had chosen a morning timeslot but after deliberating with him, we changed it to an afternoon time slot since the wind would be much better. And I am beyond grateful we did that! The sky was super blue, it felt like flying as a bird since they were literally next to us, and with his instructions everything went smoothly. Afterwards I chose to get the videos, and I would 100% recommend the insta360 video and the whole activity. For me truly a wonderful and once in a lifetime experience 😄
Thrilling and exciting! If you are nervous don’t be. The guide was very kind and communicative. Once in a life time experience.
Absolutely incredible experience. The instructor was awesome. Friendly and happy to talk. Felt safe the entire time and was 100% worth it. Without doubt recommend!
The experience was so beautiful and so worth it. My sister did hang gliding with Ricardo and I did paragliding with another person (I forgot his name) but both people were so nice and welcoming. They explained everything to us from beginning to start and once we took off the view was just breathtaking. Thank you to both of them for this amazing experience!
Man, Ricardo is an amazing pilot. This was my first time doing Hang gliding. Ricardo was patient and good teacher, very professional. I highly recommend him.
Was very impressed with how professional they were. Having assessed the wind conditions, they suggested that I go para gliding instead of hang gliding and I am happy they did. The trip lasted about 20 minutes given the favourable wind conditions. The pilot was a pro and it was a highlight of the trip. These guys know what they are doing and you’re safe in their hands
The experience was amazing, Ricardo was very friendly and very experienced. We could see how trained he was and capable for this kind of adventure. He showed us a great time and was very considerate. Would 100% recommend him to my own family members or other friends.
Great experience! Felt very safe. Pictures/videos turned out great. Unfortunately one of my friends had to paraglide even though we all wanted to hang glide. Also another one of my friends and I had the same instructor take us, which meant the whole process took a little longer than expected. Still overall would highly recommend.
Awesome experience with very experienced staff! Felt extremely safe. Would do again with this company.
My hang gliding experience was absolutely unforgettable! From start to finish, everything was smooth, safe, and so much fun. My instructor was incredibly nice, patient, and professional — he made me feel comfortable the entire time and explained every step clearly. The views were breathtaking, and the adrenaline rush was unmatched. I couldn’t have asked for a better experience. Highly recommend to anyone looking for an exciting adventure!
It is an amazing experience. We had quite a lot of wind in the afternoon that I was heading for our trip, but Bruno my guide was patience and we finally went of and that flight was fantastic!
Ricardo has made over 25k flights in his life. So he can be trusted to know what he’s doing. The whole organization, his knowledge and care are great. The flight itself, OMG! It was our second time here in Rio, and I can’t wait to do it again.
great experience, very kind operators, even with delays due to circumstances out of their control still finished within the timeframe
It was a great day, you aren't guaranteed hang gliding, I got shluffed off to paragliding because that's what the instructor did. There were four people in the reservation and ended up waiting for over an hour at the top for the instructor to come back up. It seemed like the instructors were a little more concerned about selling the pictures from their cameras more than anything. GoPro an Extra $40 usd, insta360 an extra $80usd. You have to pay an extra $20 for the insurance as well. It was a great flight though and we felt very safe.
Ricardo was AMAMZING! He was so kind right from the start, and made me and my friend feel very comfortable and welcome! His service was great, and the whole experience was the highlight of our trip! I would recommend him for anyone who wants to do paragliding!
Me and my brother loved handgliding/paragliding with Ricardo and his colleague! Great views, great people and great vibes! would recommend this experience to everyone!
This was an absolutely amazing experience. The whole activity took about 2 hours from start to finish, and everything was very well organized. The instructor, Ricardo, was fantastic. He gave clear and thorough instructions and really made me feel safe and confident before takeoff. The flight itself was breathtaking... soaring above the lush mountains and coastline of Rio is something I'll never forget. The included front-facing video is great quality and a perfect way to relive the experience. You also have the option to purchase extra footage afterwards, including a 360-degree video and side camera angles... definitely worth it if you want the full memory from every perspective! Highly recommended if you're visiting Rio and looking for an unforgettable adventure!
Super fun, safe, and affordable. We had problems with our Ubers canceling, and Ricardo was very graceful that we were a little late.
We were welcomed by Ricardo who was extremely helpful, informative, experienced and kind. I chose hand gliding as one of the activities for my 26th birthday and it was so worth it! Thank you to Ricardo and the team for a seamless and amazing experience.
Was very good wanted to do handgliding but 90kg was too much so I done paragliding which was also very good
Life changing experience. I flew with my 66 year old father on my birthday and Ricardo was so patient and professional. Turns out me and Ricardo have the same birthday! He explained the whole process to us and did a great job of making us feel comfortable and safe. He has a great crew working with him as well. Don’t hesitate to book and be sure to get the 360 camera footage. It’s absolutely worth it. I cannot recommend Ricardo enough!
It was amazing ! Ronaldo is a very good and patient instructor ! The feeling is amazing when you surround Rio de Janeiro ! I recommend him ! He has many many years of experience ! You’re safe with him !
We met with Ricardo today, and everything went smoothly. Communication was easy via WhatsApp, allowing us to stay updated. We drove up a hill, received a detailed instruction, and then enjoyed an exceptional view in perfect weather conditions. A big thank you to the team for their professionalism and the wealth of information provided. It was an unforgettable experience, and we wholeheartedly give 5 stars!
We had an amazing time- it was a bit windy and rainy but Carlos Henrique and his pilot counterpart managed incredibly, focused on keeping us safe and giving us an incredible experience. My sons top experience in Rio!
Quite possibly the most amazing thing I have ever done. Ricardo was fantastic as were the other pilots, very supportive when my friend was scared! Would thoroughly recommend this!!
The instructor was very professional and provided a lot of in-depth information about hang gliding. He was very patient and made sure I knew all the important details before we started. Super friendly guy and made me feel safe the entire time. I highly recommend booking for a thrilling experience, the views were perfect.
Had an absolutely amazing time. Ricardo was very informative and I felt at ease throughout. Totally recommend.
Fantastic experience! Ricardo knows his stuff and did everything possible to give me the ultimate once in a lifetime! There are lots of options. This one is the best!
This was amazing, thrilling, fun, and beautiful. The team was well organized, prepared, and friendly. Thoroughly enjoyable. I would recommend to anyone seeking to try out hang gliding or para gliding.
