Avsolument magique! Pure magic!

What can I say? It was flabbergasting, no words can express the joy of flying over São Conrado and so close to the Pedra da Gávea. Renato is a kind, fun but very responsible and experienced pilot. His wife, Mariana is extremely helpful and of good advice. Both are very professional and you can trust them without doubt to make you live an extraordinary experience.
Quant à Rio, faire un tour en aile delta est un must : le faire avec Renato est un plaisir en toute tranquillité et confiance. Nous étions 4: toute une famille. Avons passé un moment magique grâce à Renato et Mariana. Merci and thank you a thousand times!
PS: Renato speaks english and french!
Weather Cancellation. Easy Full Refund.

Due to weather I was unable to do the hang gliding.

I am writing this review for anyone that is worried about what the cancellation policy is. Due to the nature of the trip and the importance of the weather to do the activity, you have to check with the company about two hours before your start time. They will then tell you if the weather is safe to 'fly'. Our booked time was at 8am and the weather was not good. We were told that we can check back in a couple of hours to see if the weather gets better. The weather did actually get better and we had the option hang glide on the same day, but a few hours later, and unfortunately that did not work with our schedule so we had to decline the new hang gliding time.

This did not affect our refund in any way. The company completely understands that the weather in unpredictable, and if due to the weather you are not able to do the activity, you will get a full refund. I got an email confirmation within minutes of telling Mariana (the sales associate) that we need to cancel.

Don't be afraid, book with them if this is something you want to do.
Excellent!

It was a once in a lifetime experience! Loved it! Super easy and the 360 degree camera view is worth the extra price.
Amazing people and an amazing experience!

What a great experience from start to finish! We were lucky with the weather and we’re kept up to speed at all times if the flight was likely to go ahead or not! Renato and Mariana are the most amazing people, they are so welcoming! I cannot recommended these guys enough from my own personal experience :)
