Real experiences from real travelers
Seeing Christ the Redeemer at eye level was the highlight of my Brazil trip. The booking was easy and the pilot was very professional. Highly recommend the 30-minute flight!
I was nervous about the price, but the views of Ipanema and the Sugarloaf are worth it. The platform made it simple to compare different operators.
If you're into photography, book the doors-off tour. The 'feet out' experience is terrifyingly beautiful. Great support from the booking team when I had questions.
We did the 10-minute tour. It was amazing but felt very fast. If you can afford it, go for the 20 or 30-minute option to see more of the city.
Mesmo sendo local, ver o Rio de cima é outra coisa. Professional service and very safe. The Christ statue looks magnificent from the sky.
My husband and I booked a private tour. It was romantic and the views were spectacular. The instant confirmation gave us peace of mind.
The flight was cancelled due to clouds, but the operator and the booking site handled the rescheduling perfectly for the next morning. Very professional.
I've traveled the world, but this is top 3 experiences ever. The scale of the mountains and the sea is incredible. Don't leave Rio without doing this!
Everything you need to know for your journey
Yes, most operators have a weight limit of approximately 120kg (264 lbs) per person. This is for the balance and safety of the aircraft. Total group weight limits also apply.
Safety is paramount. If the pilot determines weather conditions (like heavy rain or low clouds) are unsafe, your flight will be rescheduled or a full refund will be issued via our partner platform.
Seating is typically assigned by the pilot based on weight distribution to ensure the helicopter is balanced. However, most modern helicopters used for tours offer panoramic windows for all passengers.
Yes, children are welcome. Most operators require children over 2 years old to have their own seat, while infants under 2 may sit on an adult's lap. Check specific tour details for age policies.
A shared tour means you will fly with other travelers (usually up to 4-5 people total). A private tour guarantees the entire helicopter for your group, offering a more intimate experience.
Some premium packages include hotel transfers from the South Zone (Copacabana/Ipanema), while others require you to meet at the helipad (usually near Sugarloaf or at Jacarepaguá Airport).
We recommend comfortable clothing and a light jacket, as it can be cooler at higher altitudes. For doors-off tours, avoid loose scarves or hats and wear closed-toe shoes.
Yes, doors-off flights follow strict safety protocols. Passengers are secured with extra safety harnesses, and all loose items must be tethered or stored to prevent them from falling.
Rio is a popular destination, especially during Carnival and the summer months. We recommend booking at least 2-4 weeks in advance to secure your preferred time slot.
