My friend and I had a brilliant experience hang gliding. Ricardo and his son were great guides from start to finish. They gave us great instruction and made sure we felt safe and happy. We would definitely reccomend Ricardo for this fantastic experience!
Ricardo is a very nice guy and made the whole process very easy. I definitely recommend going with him. Would def do it again!
It was amazing and the pilots were great…. All around safe and great experience….. I’d do it again… this is highly recommended if you visit Brazil
Amazing experience with Ricardo, everything went well and we had a good time with him i highly recommend
Hands down the best experience ever! My husband and I came in not really knowing what to expect and a little nervous at first. Nonetheless, from the moment we met with Ricardo he ensure to explain everything and truly make the moment so comfortable! This experience was like no other, truly there were no words to describe this wonderful experaince! Make sure you get a video of the experience it’s worth every penny!
It was a once in a lifetime experience! The crew was very professional and made my family and I very comfortable. Bruno and Ricardo were excellent pilots, I would 100 percent recommend.
I booked the evening before, and Ricardo answered immediately and answered all my questions. He made it a really good experience. I felt really safe and had so much fun. Would really recommend!
Ricardo was an incredible, friendly, approachable person to hang glide with for the first time. He provided a safe, comfortable, exciting experience with scenery that can't be beat. I would love the opportunity to join Ricardo again on a tandem hang glide.
Ricardo was extremely diligent, and made sure that my experience was incredible! My initial flight time was booked as 10:00, but we had to postpone slightly based on not ideal wind conditions. He communicated very well and efficiently through WhatsApp the entire time. Once we started at 11:00, he was very organized and flexible to ensure everything was going well. The slight wait was certainly worth it, we had an exceptional flight! Would recommend to anyone. One note: you have to pay for a separate insurance with the hang-gliding club of Rio. This is the case with all tours. It is 120 BRL if using cash, or 132 BRL using card, so it may be worth to bring cash for this.
