Full description
For the 30-minute helicopter sightseeing flight,  experience the spectacular sights of Rio de Janeiro from the sky. As you take off from the airport located near the Olympic center, head upwards and fly towards the shores of Barra da Tijuca. The captain will take you along the shoreline over Rio’s fabulous beaches of Barra da Tijuca, Joatinga, São Conrado, Leblon, Ipanema and Copacabana. Next, you’ll see highlights of the city, which include Sugarloaf Mountain and the impressive Christ the Redeemer statue, standing atop Corcovado Mountain. Enjoy plenty of opportunities to take unique photos while hovering in the sky.

Insanely great experience! MUST DO IN RIO!

MADNESS! The highlight on this day, on which we had our anniversary: 4 years on world trip! In the morning we were at the Christ Statue, then Copacabana Beach, Ipanema Beach and for 17 o'clock we booked this sightseeing flight. Difficult to find according to reviews, so we started early via Uber (45 Brazilian Real) from the end of Ipanema Beach, so as not to be late. At 16:10 we were already at Hangar 14 on the airport grounds (there, and you've arrived). The terrain is off the beaten track of Rio City, but our Uber rider had found everything perfect. We had to wait just under 30 minutes, got water and coffee and at 16: 40h we hung already in the air. The time was perfect! The sun was sinking, the sky shone more and more and the mood was gigantic. For the first time we sat in such a tiny helicopter, but never felt insecure. The pilot (also guide) was very nice and the flight unforgettable! EASY WOW

The flight school is a little hard to find, but if you ask yourself, it's not a problem. The staff was very very friendly and helpful. The pilot spoke English very well and explained a lot to us. The flight was absolutely amazing and worth every penny. THANKS to the flight team

Great experience, anytime again!

The booking worked fine on GetYourGuide! We postponed twice due to bad weather conditions, each time via the hotline with great service and an updated voucher within five minutes. Everything went great on site - we arrived, were welcomed and off we went, a round about Rio. Beautiful views, you fly along the beaches, over the Christo and Sugarloaf mountain, etc. Would book it again anytime !! Only point of criticism: I booked 30 minutes (and also paid), but we flew only 20 minutes. The money was refunded to us immediately and proportionately without any problems. My recommendation: Show the voucher before, so that it is clear, what exactly was booked (we were only asked afterwards for the voucher).
