Full description
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.

The experience is incredible. The price could be better since $3700 seems a little high to me. Additionally you have to pay another $100 reais in cash which would not make sense. However, the people who attended us and gave us the service were great. Excellent service!

This was an incredible experience. I am afraid of heights, so this was really scary for me. However, the person I rode on the hang glider with had over 30 years of experience and was very knowledgeable. This helped me to feel more comfortable. I am really glad I did this and I would definitely recommend it to anyone else!

the experience was phenomenal! Klaus was nice and friendly, very reassuring ahead of jumping off a roof!! in terms of providing guidance and instructions he was great. The only thing is when meeting at the HortiFruti, it relies on registering into the free WiFi, I had to ask the staff in the Hortifruti, that's not a criticism of the experience, more like an FYI for any other travellers. All in all, the hang glide adventure was great, the other instructors seemed nice and pleasant also, but I can only go on my experience which was that Klaus was awesome!!
