There are also chic bars and sophisticated restaurants popular with culinary lovers.

Quick. Gorgeous view. Safety checks by staff!

The helicopter ride was excellent! My friends and I were paired with a couple who were very friendly. However, the pilot wasn’t as interactive as we thought he would be. The staff did answer my questions about the safety checks they perform as well as how long the establishment has been running. The sites we flew by were absolutely beautiful. Specifically Christ the Redeemer! You can see the majority of Rio and the duration of the ride is accurate around 7-8min. This was also my first helicopter ride!

Operator response

Jada! Thank you for your feedback! Because the airport is very close to our helipads, pilots need to be extremely attentive to ensure a wonderful flight!

Bad experience

Lousy experience I was going with my daughter and I was celebrating my birthday and I stated it so that they would leave me a more visible place and not in the middle since they say they are 4 people and they actually went up 5 if I knew I would not have paid it. Lousy experience on such a special day for me and they have no kindness to the client

Operator response

Lamentamos que haya tenido esta terrible experiencia. Nuestros auxiliares en el helipuerto ofrecen una charla de seguridad antes del vuelo, informando a los pasajeros sobre todos los procedimientos necesarios y que el piloto es responsable de acomodar a los pasajeros según su peso y altura.

Do not book this!!

The worse helicopter ride ever, they texted me 20 mins early as if I was late and I was 2 minutes away. They said nothing about starting early or late or anything. They decided to start 30 minutes late. During this time the front desk guy did not communicate to me and my friend nor the other person getting on the helicopter with us. No sorry, no ETA, nothing at all. Due to starting 30 minutes late clouds started to appear by Christ the redeemer so we were barely able to see it, during the scheduled start time it was clear skies! So pretty much wasted our money, ALSO no hello or anything from the pilot who was on his phone while flying at one point. Every worker had the head pieces to cover their ears including workers just walking towards the helicopter to lead us yet the customers were not given any, my ears were ringing the next 2 days. I can’t believe this was legal.

Operator response

Good morning! We regret what happened. Our service is provided on a first-come, first-served basis starting at 9 am, so there are no attempts to rush customers. They can arrive within our operating hours (9 am to 6 pm) whenever is most convenient for them.
