    Amazing!

    This was the best thing I did for my birthday while in Rio!! The operator was so nice and made me feel comfortable with the process. He even sung me happy birthday after we landed. I encourage anyone to book this amazing experience.

    Response from the operator: Ashley, we are so happy to hear that this made your birthday in Rio special! Thank you so much for choosing to spend part of your day with us and for trusting our team. It's great to know that you felt comfortable throughout the experience—that's exactly our goal. And I will definitely tell our instructor that your “Happy Birthday” made the moment even more memorable. We really appreciate your recommendation and hope to see you again on your next trip to Rio! Best regards

    Just do It!

    I had an amazing flight with Luiz as my paragliding pilot. His enthusiasm and joy sharing a sport he is passionate about is obvious. I felt safe and the launch process was thoroughly explained beforehand. I recommend this company for this experience. Just do it!

    Response from the operator: Dear Jettstar, Thank you so much for your kind words and for sharing your experience! We're thrilled to know you enjoyed your flight with Luiz — his passion for flying is truly contagious, and we're glad it made your adventure even more special. Your safety and enjoyment are always our top priorities, and it's great to hear that you felt well taken care of from start to finish. Thanks again for the recommendation — it means a lot to us! Wishing you many more amazing experiences wherever you go. And if you ever come back to Rio, we'll be here ready to fly again! Warm regards, Augusto Prates Bomvoo.rio Team 🪂🌞🌊

    Exhilarating Experience

    This was a once in a lifetime experience. Everybody needs to paraglide at some point in their lives. Augusto is a great pilot and the communication from start to finish was superb. Highly highly recommend.

    Response from the operator: Fabrice, thank you very much for your comment. You can be sure that none of this would be possible if you weren't a special person with high energy. You were very determined and managed to push yourself beyond your limits. We'll always be there for you. The team is grateful to have had the experience with you. Thank you (Augusto Prates)

    Horrible worst instructor ever !! (Don’t book)

    For starters it was impossible to get in contact with the operators then once I did they changed our times off take off 3 times (very unprofessional) then once we got there everything seemed to be fine till we got in this tiny car packed to the fullest , once we got on the mountain my girlfriends instructor was very friendly & nice guy mine on the other hand no so much very rude & irritated he literally paraglided without me leaving me on a mountain by myself with no communication, I then had to contact the company & waited 2 hours on this mountain by myself while my girlfriend was stranded on the beach by herself while I waited for a new instructor to come. Then the company finally sent me a new person then we took off a 2 hour event turned to 4 1/2 hours waisting alot of my time ruining my itinerary. I was not happy at all then they lied saying they fired my original instructor when I seen him back on the mountain as I was preparing to jump horrible company & experience would not book or recommend these guys what so ever !!!!!!

    Response from the operator: Dear Ty Burton, We respect your feedback, but it is important to clarify a few points: Every time you contacted us, we responded immediately via WhatsApp, and we have all messages archived for record-keeping purposes. Regarding our transportation to the takeoff ramp, please note that we do not carry luggage, but rather flight equipment, which is transported along with the instructors and clients. The vehicles used are specifically designated for this short and quick route, which takes approximately 15 minutes. At the ramp, multiple companies operate paragliding flights, and there is a designated order for takeoff that we must respect. Additionally, we are required to follow strict safety protocols and conduct proper training before takeoff. As we are currently in high season, the takeoff area is very busy with many people and tourists. Regarding the instructor, we sincerely apologize; he is no longer providing services for our company and was replaced immediately. As for your girlfriend, she was not left unattended at the landing area. The instructor who flew with her provided full assistance until your arrival. The flight club has all the necessary infrastructure to accommodate clients from all companies. Finally, we completed the flight with you, and to compensate for any inconvenience, we provided you and your girlfriend with videos recorded on the Insta 360-degree camera, which is not included in the standard booking package. We are truly sorry for any discomfort you experienced, and we assure you that this does not reflect our company’s standards, as evidenced by our excellent reviews on Viator, of which we are proud members. In any case, we are always at your disposal. Best regards

    Rio de Janeiro Parapente Flight Team Veteran: questions travelers ask

    Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Rio de Janeiro.

    How much does Rio de Janeiro Parapente Flight Team Veteran cost?

    +

    Prices start at $191 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Rio de Janeiro usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.

    How long does Rio de Janeiro Parapente Flight Team Veteran take?

    +

    Plan for about 1.5 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Rio de Janeiro is not rushed.

    Is Rio de Janeiro Parapente Flight Team Veteran worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 63 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.9/5 across 28 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Rio de Janeiro, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.

    Can I cancel or reschedule Rio de Janeiro Parapente Flight Team Veteran?

    +

    Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.

    Is Rio de Janeiro Parapente Flight Team Veteran suitable for kids and families?

    +

    Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 1.5-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

    How far in advance should I book Rio de Janeiro Parapente Flight Team Veteran?

    +

    Around 10 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Rio de Janeiro can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.

    What should I bring or wear?

    +

    Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Rio de Janeiro and add a light layer if any part of the 1.5-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does Rio de Janeiro Parapente Flight Team Veteran start and how do I get there?

    +

    The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Rio de Janeiro within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.

    What are the best things to do in Rio de Janeiro?

    +

    On Outty we rank every Rio de Janeiro experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Pedra da Gávea hike, your best experience in Rio, Rio's Full Day: Selarón Steps, Christ & Sugarloaf – Tickets & Lunch Included, Favela Tour Rio de Janeiro - Vidigal Walking Tour by Russo Guide. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.

    When is the best time to visit Rio de Janeiro?

    +

    Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.

    How many days do you need in Rio de Janeiro?

    +

    Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.

    Do I book through Outty or through the operator?

    +

    Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.

    What is included in Rio de Janeiro Parapente Flight Team Veteran?

    +

    Included: Video Goopro landing camera; Paragliding Double Flying Equipment with Instructor; Video Goopro camera of every flight; Video camera Insta 360 degrees; and Transport from the meeting point to the ramp. Not included: Entrance fees. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.

    Where is the meeting point for Rio de Janeiro Parapente Flight Team Veteran?

    +

    Let's meet in front of the flight club - Av Prefeito Mendes de Moraes 1502 - São Conrado Neighborhood Hotel pickup is not included, so plan your own transport and arrive 15 minutes early.

    What languages is Rio de Janeiro Parapente Flight Team Veteran offered in?

    +

    It is offered in Portuguese, English, French and Spanish. Pick your language when choosing a date and time, as not every departure runs in every language.

    Will I get instant confirmation and a mobile ticket for Rio de Janeiro Parapente Flight Team Veteran?

    +

    Confirmation is sent by the operator after booking, usually within 48 hours; if it is not confirmed you are not charged. Mobile tickets are accepted, so you can show the voucher on your phone.

    Is Rio de Janeiro Parapente Flight Team Veteran wheelchair or stroller accessible?

    +

    The operator notes: Not recommended for pregnant travelers. If accessibility is critical, contact the operator after booking to confirm arrangements for your date.

    What happens to Rio de Janeiro Parapente Flight Team Veteran if the weather is bad?

    +

    This experience depends on good weather. If it is canceled because of poor weather, you are offered a different date or a full refund.

    What do travelers say about Rio de Janeiro Parapente Flight Team Veteran?

    +
