Hang Gliding or Paragliding Flight in Rio de Janeiro

Do you like extreme sports? Hang gliding and Paragliding Flight are a dream for many adventure lovers. And we guarantee that making this dream come true in the city of Rio de Janeiro is the best choice. After all, up into the sky, you can see the most beautiful angles of the mix between sea, mountains, and the city’s neighborhoods. Don’t miss this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity and make the most of it with this team that has a lot of experience and is ready to offer all the security you need.

Paragliding or Hang Gliding? Which one to choose?

Paragliding is slower and you can fly as if you were in a chair, in front of your instructor. Hang gliding, in turn, is very fast and can easily reach 150 kilometers per hour. Unlike Paragliding, it is recommended for those who want to radicalize and fly very fast over the city!

Both are amazing and worth the experience, however, Paragliding is best suited for those who have never jumped and need to start with a little more peace of mind!

Frequently asked questions (F.A.Q.)

Is it safe to fly?

Yes. Flying with our paragliding team is considered 100% safe. In addition to all the training provided by our instructors, we conduct all the necessary weather studies and reviews prior to your flight. We also work with ramp supervisors who coordinate operations following a high standard that ensures total safety for all flights. We never fly in inappropriate conditions.

Is there a possibility of going up and not flying?

Yes. Since we are dealing with nature, it is necessary to understand the signs it is giving us. If, for safety reasons, the instructor considers it necessary, the flight may be aborted.

What is the minimum age to fly?

18 years old. From the age of 16, it is allowed to fly as long as accompanied by parents.

Do I need any previous experience to fly?

No. All the necessary instructions will be provided by the instructor during the training prior to the flight.

How long does the flight last?

It usually lasts from 6 to 20 minutes, depending on the wind it can be extended for longer. The more wind, the longer the flight!

Is it possible to fly on completely cloudy days?

It is perfectly possible to fly on cloudy days. In fact, these are usually the best days. This is because in Rio de Janeiro, the perfect weather for the sport occurs when we have the southeast wind aligned, and this often happens on cloudy days. Are you unsure if there will be a flight today? Call and ask! You may be missing out on an excellent day for flying.
