Amazing views

Published on Jun, 2021

I would recommend this to anyone traveling to Rio de Janeiro. This was not my first helicopter tour but because there is so much to see here it was the best. The flight is between 30 or 40 minutes with stunning views so make sure your phone is fully charged. If the weather is clear this is a must do.

Amazing!!!

Published on Nov, 2015

OMG this was the highlight of my visit to Rio, this was awesome! I sat in the front of the helicopter - it was so cool, Im terrified of heights and just couldnt believe my luck, it was an absolutely thrilling experience. The day before I went to the Sugar Load and Redeemer and the weather was very cloud and no visibility and the next day was the heli ride and was in for a treat as the cloud cleared. Thanks guys this was fabulous.
