    Full description
    For the 30-minute helicopter sightseeing flight,  experience the spectacular sights of Rio de Janeiro from the sky. As you take off from the airport located near the Olympic center, head upwards and fly towards the shores of Barra da Tijuca. The captain will take you along the shoreline over Rio’s fabulous beaches of Barra da Tijuca, Joatinga, São Conrado, Leblon, Ipanema and Copacabana. Next, you’ll see highlights of the city, which include Sugarloaf Mountain and the impressive Christ the Redeemer statue, standing atop Corcovado Mountain. Enjoy plenty of opportunities to take unique photos while hovering in the sky. Alternatively, upgrade your tour to the 60-minute tour which is the same as the 30-minute tour but also includes flying over the Modern Museum of Art of Niterói, Santos Dumont Airport, Downtown Rio, Maracanã Stadium, Tijuca Forest, and more. Book your flight during the day, at sunset or in the evening up until 8 PM.

    A unique and magnificent way to see Rio. The flight itself was just amazing. Be aware that the airport is a bit of a trip from the main tourist area. Also we were left waiting for 45 minutes without explanation and the actual air time was less than 30 minutes. That said, it was definitely worth doing. Highly recommended!

    Insanely great experience! MUST DO IN RIO!

    MADNESS! The highlight on this day, on which we had our anniversary: 4 years on world trip! In the morning we were at the Christ Statue, then Copacabana Beach, Ipanema Beach and for 17 o'clock we booked this sightseeing flight. Difficult to find according to reviews, so we started early via Uber (45 Brazilian Real) from the end of Ipanema Beach, so as not to be late. At 16:10 we were already at Hangar 14 on the airport grounds (there, and you've arrived). The terrain is off the beaten track of Rio City, but our Uber rider had found everything perfect. We had to wait just under 30 minutes, got water and coffee and at 16: 40h we hung already in the air. The time was perfect! The sun was sinking, the sky shone more and more and the mood was gigantic. For the first time we sat in such a tiny helicopter, but never felt insecure. The pilot (also guide) was very nice and the flight unforgettable! EASY WOW

    The flight school is a little hard to find, but if you ask yourself, it's not a problem. The staff was very very friendly and helpful. The pilot spoke English very well and explained a lot to us. The flight was absolutely amazing and worth every penny. THANKS to the flight team
