★★★★★★★★★★4.8 · 131 reviews · 1 hour · from $104Best value

Review of Niterói paragliding with Pepê, including GoPro video, Rio views, safety, price, weather tips, access, and who should book.

“I went as a group of 4 people and we glided down Parque Natural Municipal de Niterói. Overall, one of the best experiences of my life and will 100% do it again and recommend to other people. Great value for money and is cheaper than other paragliding bookings, but don’t let that deter you as the experience exceeded my expectations. Thankyou to our guide Pepe for looking after us and making it an exhilarating activity in Rio. He was very friendly and confident as he has been paragliding since 2001!”

Review Rio’s tandem paragliding flight from Pedra Bonita, with São Conrado views, safety details, pricing, timing, and booking advice.

“Great experience, the guide Ighor Ferreira is experienced, safe relaxed, funny, manages to relax you. All the pilots cooperate in a coordinated and relaxed way on the ramp, so that instills security. The organization of the flight was within the limits of the advertisement. The flight was phenomenal, literally 10" you need to get into a relaxed fashion. Definitely a recommendation, in the option of visiting Rio de Janeiro again, I would turn to Igor's team again.”
