It was honestly the most amazing experience I have ever had. The instructor was amazing and very clear with its instructions. It was nice to be able to practice the running beforehand. I felt very safe and I would recommend this activity to anyone. Such an incredible experience!

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 video recorded on cameras attached to the glider so that you can share your adventure with your friends and family back home.
