Shared helicopter flights over Rio with 20 or 25 minutes of routes for Christ, beaches, Copacabana, Sugarloaf, and big photo moments.
“Fantastic activity with amazing views. Small intimate group was a much better experience with a good all round view for everyone involved”
30-minute helicopter flight over Rio spotting Copacabana, Ipanema, Tijuca Forest, Sugarloaf, and Christ the Redeemer from above.
“What a wonderful activity! I’d never been on a helicopter before so was quite apprehensive about booking, my partner was very excited about the idea though so I relented. I expected it to be terrifying and I braced myself at takeoff ready to spend the trip praying for it to be quick but it took off and was smoother than my flight home! It looked “easy” for the pilot who is obviously very experienced and a total pro. I still imagined it hit falling into the see every 2 minutes but surprisingly that had no effect on my enjoyment of the trip. Rio is the perfect location for a helicopter…”
Private 30-minute Rio helicopter flight over Christ the Redeemer and Sugarloaf with a tight route from Jacarepaguá Airport.
“The private helicopterflight was a highlight of our stay in Rio. The views were amazing and our pilot gave us a lot infos about the city/view. We booked the flight including transport/transfer. The driver was friendly and the moment we arrived at the platform we could almost immediately start our flight. I would 100% recommend this activity.”
Doorless 35-40 minute Rio helicopter ride with feet-out views of Christ and Sugarloaf, plus beach flyovers. Headsets included.
“Amazing experience, I was smiling like a Cheshire Cat the whole time, views were insane, what a way to see Rio. I would do it again in a heartbeat. One if the best things I did”
10-minute helicopter ride over Iguazu Falls from above for top photo angles, small-group seating, and an admission ticket included.
A 25 to 30 minute helicopter flight over Rio, from Christ the Redeemer and Sugar Loaf to Copacabana and the favelas, with a small group.
“We booked a private tour of 525 USD for 30 minutes flight, 2 people (it states in the add that you’ll be flying between 25-30 minutes). We were back after 17 minutes. The sun was perfect, no wind, no nothing. When I asked the pilot why he flew so short, he mentioned I should make a complaint if I am unhappy with the time he flew. I complained at the office after the flight and they said the pilot decides when to come back. Ok, but what about my money, as I received half of what I paid for…(?) Very unprofessional, to be avoided!”
A private 10 to 12 minute helicopter flight over São Paulo with clear pilot headsets, coffee or tea, and serious bird’s-eye views.
“The helicopter tour at night was incredible. Amazing service and views. The photographer took some beautiful photos as well.”
Private 30 minute helicopter tour over Rio de Janeiro, with views of Christ the Redeemer, Sugarloaf Mountain, beaches, lagoons, and optional pickup.
“Het was een hele leuke vlucht met een leuke piloot helaas was 1 oortje kapot waardoor niet iedereen te verstaan was”
Helicopter, boat, and bird park in one packed day on Iguassu Falls Brazil side. Walk viewpoints, ride under the Three Musketeers.
“We had a very nice and knowledgeable guide called Bhrenno who took us to the bird sanctuary and through the falls :) it was such a great way to celebrate my birthday between snapping pictures of the waterfalls and seeing some wildlife. We were lucky that the sun came out in the afternoon so we could still do our helicopter ride which was so much fun and the views were great.”
