Paragliding Rio de Janeiro experience 10/10
stephanylarissy, September 2026
I found the experience of flying with the Parapente Rio de Janeiro team incredible. They are super responsible, polite, patient, and provide the necessary flight safety information. It's quite an adventure, I always recommend it to my friends and people who are going to Rio to hang out. Incredible, 10/10 ✨

You get what you paid for

Make sure that you book for the actual paragliding not a different thing. Yes wind and other factor may alter the tour but this should be known as I planned this weeks ahead.

Poor service but the jump was amazing
Rcm2, May 2026
Paragliding itself was amazing and I ended up doing it with someone very professional (not Luis).
Luis was 20 minutes late to the time of the experience and there was no way to contact him. Although this company gives you the “option” to do paragliding or handgliding, I was pushed to do paragliding instead of handgliding which is what I wanted to do. Luis said that the weather was not right for handgliding but then that it was up to me if I choose to do it or not. He is the professional and if someone said this to you, well I trusted him and chose to do paragliding. Luis then dissapeared and did not tell me he was not going to be doing the paragliding with me and someone else got into the car that took me up the mountain. Then when we were up there were lots of people doing handgliding which was very disappointing. The lack of transparency and poor communication is not right. If you would like to do handgliding, just choose a different company. They also change an extra $60 for the 360 video and also extra for insurance so just choose somewhere else to do it where they are more transparent with the prices and provide better service overall.

Amazing Lifetime experience!
Mary_S, May 2026
There were 3 of us and we felt safe and well-cared for. I had the best experience of us all- I was with Luis and he was fantastic! My husband and son were larger- around 200lbs and they felt restricted by the harness which impacted their experience a bit. I was nestled in the seat so just enjoyed the amazing views and it was the most amazing experience ever- I’d do it again and again in a heartbeat!
