Rio de Janeiro Hang Gliding Adventure

2. Rio de Janeiro Hang Gliding Adventure

First, listen to a short briefing from the world's most safe and experienced Hang Glider tandem pilots. They will tell you about the take-off and other aspects of hang gliding before you get airborne. Then, glide smoothly through the tropical air after about 7 steps over the edge of the platform. Any fear you may have will soon disappear and you will experience a very unique sense of tranquility. Enjoy bird's eye views of Rio de Janeiro's main attractions, including Sugar Loaf Mountain, Corcovado, Copacabana, Ipanema, Lagoa and Niteroi city on the other side of Guanabara Bay. Land safely on a sandy beach in São Conrado and enjoy some refreshments as you watch others come in to land. The entire activity will be photographed and recorded on cameras attached to the glider so that you can share your adventure with your friends and family back home.

What people are saying about Ipanema

Great way to see the outstanding features of Rio - especially Christ the Redeemer and Sugarloaf Mountain - plus some main sites in Central Rio. Also a very large and tasty lunch! Having a knowledgeable guide was a great addition Would recommend also doing a walking tour in central Rio. The combination gives a really good sense of the city.

It was an amazing experience. Pilot was very knowledgeable and meticulous with regards to following safety protocols. It was terrifying and exhilarating at the same time. I highly recommend that everyone try this at least once in their lifetime.

Mauricio was super smooth, seemed like one of the best gliders. He gave me clear simple instructions and we had a great flight. Very freeing. The only bad part was how short the flight itself was, under 10 minutes.

We were so pleased with this tour . It was really efficiently run. Renato was an excellent guide. A really good way to get to do the major Rio sights in one day .

The tour was excellent. Our guide Geasa was absolutely friendly, on time and helpful. The places was great.
