This was our first experience of paragliding and I was very nervous. But I'm so happy we did it as it was absolutely amazing and our favourite thing to do in Rio de Janeiro. I think this is the ultimate location to do this as the views are so breathtaking. We booked this with one day's notice and communication via WhatsApp was very good. The morning we were due to fly it was cloudy, but luckily the sky was clearing when we got to Sao Conrado beach. We had a bit of wait (about 40 mins) but once we got up to the hill, it didn't take long at all before we took off. The team (I remember Mariana and pilot Fernando) made us feel at ease and followed safe processes. It was a lot easier to take off and land than what I thought. And the flight close to mountains, and rooftop pools with acrobatics over the sea was exhilarating.
To remember this unforgettable experience, we also got hundreds of photos and videos, so make sure you have a lot of space on your phone to save these.

Excellent trip, very well organised from start to finish. Tour guides were easy to contact for information and everything went smoothly. Loved every minute of flying through the skies. Saw all the key sites as we soared through the air. Highly recommend doing it. Take bug spray with you as you will be eaten alive while waiting to jump.

10/10! The guide was kind and professional and spoke English and Portuguese extremely well! He made me feel safe, and overall a very memorable ride! I already plan on returning with my sister when she visits me in Rio :)

I was in Rio with my wife, we love to come to come to Rio. My wife knew about Mariana, who does hanglider and paraglider flights. We booked with them online through trip advisor. We loved it, very nice people, the flight is amazing. The view of Pedra da Gavea and landing in Sao Conrado beach is incredible. One of the most exciting things I have done in my life! I recomend.

The actual gliding was amazing but our scheduled experience was delayed 3 whole days because of the wind. Luckily we had the extra 3 days in Rio to spare and wait. Most importantly I'll mention - I booked this experience with my fiance so i expected that we will handglide one right after the other so that we can wait together, leave together, and enjoy the experience together but instead they split us up. My partner went first and I had to wait for a string of other strangers to do their jumps before my instructor finally came to get me to do my jump. This is a poor experience when I'm there to have a romantic holiday. I did ask to go straight after my partner but my request was brushed off as insignificant. The instructors did not speak any good english and I personally didn't feel like they put in any effort to relate to explain to us in detail what will happen during the flight from start to finish. Lastly, which most definitely not the operator's fault - be aware that if the wind is not blowing in the right direction or at the right strength you will be waiting around up on the mountain until it eventually picks up or changes direction. We waited 2 hours all suited up in gear.
