Our favourite experience in Rio de Janeiro - 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.

Amazing, couldn’t ask for more. - 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.

Amazing view and flight - 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.
