Reviews
Marlo was phenomenal... Erico and his communication was good. My jump was so smooth... aside from the legitimate instructions the one that really mattered... "Run FAST and fly... don't jump, just run through the air." And when I tell you that was it... No drop, no pull, no wind smack. Thank You for a great experience. The video package was okay... you have options to purchase other angles and a 360 if you want but I would have rather to pay that upfront. I thought it was all included... only the front angle was included.
Amazing 100% recomended, a crazy experience and incredible views 🙌🙌
5 star experience! Great for nervous passengers … just do it!!Steve A
I had a fantastic experience with this company. My instructor was Indy. Who was superb. He immediately put me at ease, recognised my nerves and worked hard to help me get my head around walking off the ledge! Indy extended my tour and was great fun in the sky. We sang, we chatted about life and meandered down the mountain side having a great time. If I could have done it again the next day I would. Thank you so much Indy and team for a really great experience!
Top, very safe and professional. We had a great time

Feb 24, 2026, 12:59:28 AM Great experience in Rio. Learned so much about Paragliding and the community. The views were spectacular and truly defined my experience in Rio. Would absolutely love to do it again.

First time hang glidingkemdii2026
Great experience! I had to do mine on a different day due to wind issues which wasn’t a problem for me. They drove me from the pickup spot to the hang gliding point and we landed back at the pickup spot. You have to wait a bit before hang gliding bc there’s a bunch of ppl on the queue which is to be expected imo. I came with a friend who wasn’t hang gliding and they were driven back to pickup spot after my jump. From meeting up to my instructor to landing, it took about 1hr 20mins. This includes the drive to the hang gliding spot, waiting our turn.
Make sure you have your phone with you so you can get your vids right after landing. Rico explained where to place my hands and how to do the run off. We did a quick run simulation before we got on the actual glider. I was a little nervous before but it was smooth sailing 🙂
My paragliding tour was so fun. My instructor was so knowledgeable and friendly and he made me feel so safe. To top it off the flight was beautiful. I definitely recommend and I would come back anytime I’m in Rio.
