Wonderful experience - Fear is one of the strongest sensations of the human being and the most intense form of fear is the fear of the unknown. Running on that ramp and launching into space is the overcoming of this fear. Congratulations. You have surpasses your instructor with courage. Proof of this is that our first leap was from a small mound, then a little hill a little higher, only then to throw ourselves from the unrestrained height of the Beautiful Stone.
So in this Tandem flight story the true heroes have always been our students.

Experience and honesty. It's worth it! - We fly today with Assad and Max.
We talked for more than a week to find out the best day to fly and all doubts were resolved, both passed us a lot of confidence and provided us with a wonderful and amazing experience. Friendly, honest and experienced staff.
The team takes the tourists on the beach of Sao Conrado as a rule and take the tourists with their team cars to the top of the mountain from where they jump, the landing is on next to where it all starts. The price is tabulated and seemed fair for what they offer, structure, service and expertise. Standard price includes the go Pro camera with photos and videos on the side wing, other cameras (front and 360 degrees) have extra cost.
The service and scheduling is done with Assad via phone/whatsapp.
I recommend it to everyone.

100% MUST DO EXPERIENCE IN RIO!!! - Such an amazing experience and our guide Assad Junior is so kind and makes you feel so comfortable. To jump off a cliff, it takes faith with your instructor(s) and Assad & his team gives you that courage! You do have to take the leap of faith though. It is so worth it. Once you are airborne looking over all of Rio… you feel this huge sense of peace and almost spiritual experience. Every day is a gift… gift this experience for yourself. You will thank yourself and experience less fear in Life because isn’t that is what Life is about? Eliminating our fears and enjoying a beautiful Life.

Excellent experience - From the moment of contact with Assad, everything was very clear. When I arrived I was already waiting to leave and the entire climb to the jump point was great. The directions before and during the flight were clear, not to mention the view. The landing was smooth and the attention after the flight was very good. Thank you for the excellent experience and the souvenir videos.

YOLO - You Have to Try this - This was a great experience. We were a groups of eight and all felt very safe and secure with our guides. It was an exhilarating experience and does not require a large amount of athleticism. The 360 video (extra cost) is exceptional.

Too Overbooked - We booked for both of us for a 9am flight. But apparently, they don't update the website and when we went there, they were out of pilots and couldn't take us. And then they said that they can't take one of us because of weight. The website mentions that upto 95Kg can fly, but when we went there, they could only take up to 75kg. And then they were pressuring us to do paragliding instead of hang gliding. Finally one of us got to hang glide, which was good.

Serious mix up and failure to communicate between viator and the tour group - The contractor canceled this activity and said that viator never should have scheduled it. Since I scheduled it the same day, I could not cancel it through viator without agreeing to not receive a refund.
