Pass by

The beautiful beach of Ipanema is undoubtedly one of the must-see spots that every tourist should know, located in the southern district of Rio de Janeiro, Ipanema, in addition to being one of the biggest attractions, is a neighbor of other great spots, such as Copacabana Beach. and Leblon Beach.

It is located in a gigantic area of ​​the south side of the city, where there are no buildings with more than two floors, as it is a protected area by the municipality. This gives the impression that we are not in the middle of a stone jungle, with very populated neighborhoods surrounding the entire area.

Rio 2 Fly

The walk is wonderful. The low score goes to the pilot. He didn't say a word during the flight, he didn't give any explanation because we didn't pass the sugar bread. Besides, it is a walk that is very worth it. The city is wonderful and the views are spectacular.

Operator response

Muito obrigado por compartilhar sua experiência e por destacar que o passeio vale a pena e que as paisagens do Rio são espetaculares! 🚁✨ Também agradecemos pelo seu comentário sobre o voo. Lamentamos que a comunicação do piloto não tenha correspondido às suas expectativas. Esse não é o padrão de experiência que buscamos oferecer aos nossos passageiros. Em relação ao Pão de Açúcar, em alguns voos o trajeto pode sofrer ajustes por determinação do controle de tráfego aéreo ou por questões operacionais e de segurança, mas entendemos que essa informação deveria ter sido explicada durante o voo. Seu feedback é muito importante e será compartilhado com nossa equipe para que possamos continuar aprimorando a experiência de todos os nossos clientes. Esperamos ter a oportunidade de recebê-lo novamente e proporcionar uma experiência ainda melhor! 😊🚁

Amazing Experience

This was an incredible experience. We were the last flight of the day, and they were patient with us because we were late due to Rio traffic. The weather was not great that day but they gave us the best experience possible under the circumstances. We flew by Christ the Redeemer, Sugar Loaf Mountain, and all the beaches. There is nothing like experiencing these things from the air. The entire staff was kind and courteous from beginning to end. A top notch and well-run company. If you are thinking about doing this, book with confidence.

Operator response

Even with less-than-perfect weather, our team always does its best to deliver the best possible experience under any circumstances 🌤️ Flying over Christ the Redeemer, Sugar Loaf Mountain, and the beautiful beaches is truly something unique, and we’re delighted that you enjoyed seeing Rio from the air 🤩🌴 Your recognition of our staff means a lot to us — we take great pride in offering a safe, welcoming, and top-quality experience from beginning to end. Thank you again for your trust and recommendation. It was a pleasure to have you with us, and we hope to welcome you back for another flight in the future! 😊🚁✨

Heliport too far

Be careful, the fares are attractive and you should know that for a 35-minute flight you have to go about 30 kilometers from Rio and you lose about 10 to 15 minutes of approach flight to Rio. In the end, what seems interesting, is not too....

Operator response

Merci pour votre commentaire et pour avoir partagé votre point de vue 🙂🚁 Nous comprenons votre observation et souhaitons apporter quelques précisions. Notre base est située dans une zone autorisée et sécurisée pour les opérations aériennes, et le temps de vol total correspond bien à la durée annoncée, incluant les segments nécessaires pour rejoindre les principaux sites touristiques de Rio ✨ Pendant l’approche vers la ville, les passagers profitent déjà de superbes vues sur les plages, la forêt et plusieurs points emblématiques, ce qui fait pleinement partie de l’expérience 🌴🌊 Nous nous efforçons toujours d’offrir un excellent rapport qualité-prix, avec des aéronefs bien entretenus, une structure confortable et surtout un haut niveau de sécurité, qui reste toujours notre priorité absolue 🙏 Merci encore pour votre retour, qui nous aide à continuer à améliorer notre communication et l’expérience offerte à nos clients. Nous espérons avoir le plaisir de vous accueillir à nouveau pour un prochain vol au-dessus de Rio 🚁✨
