Very cool experience! The views were impeccable! Would have loved if the pilot was more vocal about the things we were seeing lol - it kinda looked like a bunch of green until we got to the main parts. All in all it was pretty good! Felt safe the whole time even though there were no doors!
Thank you very much for sharing your experience! We are happy to know that you enjoyed the tour and felt safe — even with the extra adrenaline of flying without doors! 😄 We also appreciate your feedback on the comments during the flight, this helps us to improve even more. We will share it with our pilots so that they can further enrich the tour with information and curiosities about the route. We hope to see you again in the skies of Rio soon! ✨🚁
Small helicopter with 4 seats. Felt like a very personal and intimate experience. Loads of amazing photo opportunities. Views were just out of this world. Equipment given to keep your phone safe as well on the helicopter. Very friendly pilot who spoke great English. Would highly recommend this tour to anyone, worth every penny.
We are delighted to hear that you had such a unique experience and made the most of the incredible views and photo opportunities. Our pilot also works hard to ensure that everything runs smoothly and professionally, and it is great to hear that you felt comfortable during the flight. We really appreciate your recommendation and look forward to having you back with us for more unforgettable moments!
This was worth every penny. I would definitely recommend without doors helicopter ride. There is only 2 areas where you can hang your hands and feet put the door and they instruct you once you reach that area. They are very professional and made the whole process easy. 3 people are required to complete the ride so if your party is short of one person or more, they will group you with other people to complete the 3 person minimum. Overall great experience
