    Amazing experience
    Lily_F, Feb 2024
    What an amazing experience! You get about 5 minutes in the air and my pilot, Rodrigo was amazing. Very patient, calm, and even let me try steering the glider which was incredible. You get great views of Rio and it’s incredibly peaceful in the air. Diana was also great at responding and keeping me informed
    Rio hang gliding is a must do!

    Fabulous experience. Would do again with this company. The pilots were friendly and professional. We felt safe with them since they were able to explain what we needed to do to be safe.
    It was a nice experience...

    Ein unbeschreibliches Erlebnis
    Annett_G, Mar 2022
    Ich bin gestern zum ersten Mal geflogen und das Gefühl in der Luft war unbeschreiblich. Ich habe mich bei meinem Guide jederzeit sicher und wohl gefühlt. Der Ausblick war wunderschön und zudem hat mir der Guide noch vieles gezeigt und erzählt. Ich kann es jedem empfehlen.
