Relaxed flight with outstanding views
Though a cloudy day, the tour in the helicopter was still absolutely incredible. The flight was very comfortable and all I can say is what a fantastic pilot we had. The journey felt practically weightless! This was so relaxing and allowed me and my partner to sit back, relax and enjoy beautiful views from up in the sky. The venue is great, they’ve done wonderfully with the decor and the staff are all friendly and polite. We upgraded to a private flight for a small extra fee which was most definitely worth the money. Would recommend this experience to all.

Christ the Redeemer
Every aspect of our booking was very easy and professional. I was contacted within minutes of my booking and the arrangements were made without any fuss. We added transfers from the hotel and were kept updated about the arrival time on the morning of the flight.The team at the heliport were very friendly and explained what was going to happen. The flight was amazing with spectacular views of Copacabana beach and of course, Christ the Redeemer. A fantastic experience and one that I would definitely recommend.

A bucket list experience!
Our helicopter tour over Christ the Redeemer was absolutely incredible! The views were breathtaking and such a once-in-a-lifetime experience. We were so appreciative that the team was able to accommodate us on the next flight after our other tour ran longer than expected. Everyone was extremely friendly, helpful, and made the whole experience seamless from start to finish. The flight itself was unforgettable — seeing Rio from above was truly amazing. Highly recommend!

An okay ride, unfortunately cloudy over Christ the Redeemer for us even though it was a reasonable clear day
Starting point is about 45mins drive from centre of Rio, so you spend a lot longer in the taxi than you do on your helicopter ride. Guess that’s why it’s a little cheaper. No safety talk, very little interaction with staff before boarding, then you are off. It’s a pretty small helicopter of its for three of you so beware if you are a little claustrophobic.
Operator response
Obrigado por compartilhar seu feedback. 😊 Nosso endereço realmente fica um pouco mais afastado da Zona Sul, e justamente por isso conseguimos oferecer preços mais acessíveis e um passeio mais completo, o que acaba trazendo um excelente custo-benefício para os nossos clientes. Antes de cada voo, o piloto e a equipe passam todas as orientações essenciais de segurança e auxiliam no embarque. Em relação à aeronave, utilizamos helicópteros homologados para até 3 passageiros, que é um padrão comum para voos panorâmicos, sempre seguindo rigorosamente todas as normas de segurança. Agradecemos sua visita e seu comentário, pois ele nos ajuda a continuar melhorando a experiência dos nossos passageiros. 🚁✨
