What a wonderful 40 minutes!

Published on Dec, 2024

I highly recommend this trip. Was easy, safe and fun! They have a nice lounge, explain everything and the pilot is incredibly smooth! Beautiful views!

Unbelievable experience

Published on Oct, 2024

This was my first time in a helicopter, and I can honestly say that the transition from start to beginning was smooth. It was an unbelievable experience to be able to see the city from up above was unreal. The company was very professional. The pilot was very friendly and knowledgeable, and the photographer was excellent. I have nothing bad to say other than I do recommend this.

Excelent

“Absolutely breathtaking experience! The helicopter tour over Rio de Janeiro gave us the most stunning views of the Christ the Redeemer statue, Sugarloaf Mountain, and Copacabana Beach. The pilot was professional, and we felt safe the entire time. Seeing the city from above was unforgettable—definitely a must-do when in Rio! Worth every penny.”

Excellent tour, amazing views, friendly atmosphere. 5 stars!

Published on Sep, 2024

We participated in this tour with my girlfriend and all we say is that it was an excellent experience. Everyone were so kind and welcoming, from the passenger reception, to the flight team. Our captains were so kind and friendly. Our flight was booked at 17:30. Luma, from reservation, was kind enough to remind us the time of our flight. Our captains introduced us every place we saw and gave us information about them. One of the best parts of the tour was towards the end, when we had the chance to see an amazing view of the sunset on the lovely hills of Rio de Janeiro. An important note: Please keep in mind that you need to go to the airport at least half an hour ago to complete your check-in. If you want to join this tour around 5-6 pm, you need to take the road to the airport earlier than it's normal due to the traffic outside. All in all, we strongly recommend this tour, a unique experience.

Wooohoooo!

What an awesome experience!! It is well worth it. I highly recommend. It was my first time in a helicopter and had some butterflies beforehand but that went away as soon as we lifted. Wow! it was just beautiful. Our time was 20 mins and it was the perfect amount of time. The views are incredible and seeing Christ the Redeemer from above, is priceless! You’ve got to do it! Once in a lifetime experience, I will never regret.
