Fantastic Helicopter ride
This was a fantastic experience and a once in a lifetime opportunity to fly over Rio and see the iconic sights of Rio from above and without the crowds. The pilot treated us with a great view of Christ the Redeemer flying first one way around then the opposite way around so everyone had a chance to see and take photos of this famous statue. Adilson & rayana were great and accommodated me in finding someone else to fly with as I was on my own & needed two other people. I had to wait no more than half an hour when they found someone. Highly recommend this tour

The best one tour in Rio!
Rio really is THE wonderful city! My wife and I loved the trip, the sea was vivid green, and we could admire the views that only Brazil has. I'm really in love with the city! We’ll definitely be back soon! Thank you also to the crew, especially the service guys, Abner, Amanda and Adilson. :)

Best views in the world!
Excellent experience. The best way to see Rio if your time is limited. The pilot Patricia has the nicest smile in the world. Amber, Adilson, Samora and Royama are very helpful and accommodating. I was a solo traveler who wasn’t able to find the flight but they manage to fit me in nicely with others.

Amazing experience. Pilot refilled the fuel so we had the opportunity to descend and take off twice. Flight lasted more than we expected. It is super safe and view is gorgeous. We will always remember this adventure. Thank you Amanda and Matheus for helping us out and organizing everything.

Unforgettable Amazing ride! So grateful!
Must see! Simply a dream seeing this wonderful city from the sky. Wonderful team at the lagoa with our hosts Amanda and Joao and captain Matheus! Can’t say enough. Do not hesitate. We did route 5, for 15 mins, sugar loaf, Christo Redentor and the beaches. Was excellent with plenty of unforgettable memories!! Ask for headphones to cover your ears as it is loud up there! 200% recommended!

Highly recommend a great customer service!

So convenient I was staying in Leblon this was 10 minutes from my apartment. I got there in the morning and there were four girls to help me they were highly attentive sweet helpful and took care of me from star to boarding the helicopter. There was a maintenance team member who took care of the helicopter and then the pilot appeared took us up for an amazing 10 minute ride and with a high bank we dipped down and had a perfect landing. This was an awesome experience and my third time on the helicopter and definitely my favorite!! #TheAmericanVagabondAbroad

Corcovado Helicopter

Aug 2022

I did the 10 minute trip to Corcovado including Ipanema... It was a fantastic experience! We took off from a landing pad next to Lagoa and then flew out to Ipanema Beach and along the Beach all the way to Arpoador , so we had a full view of all of Copacabana Beach and Sugarloaf as well. Then we flew towards Corcovado and did a full double circle around it quite close to it so both sides of the helicopter could get plenty of pics. Then we flew West across Atlantic Rainforest before flying back South to the Landind Pad again. It was very smooth and easy. In fact I could take pics and videos the whole time simultaneously with both my camera and my phone with no problems. There was one seat next to the pilot and 2 in the back so everyone had a full window view. The staff, including Sophia, Rayana and Felipe as well as the Pilot Norbort, was also very friendly and welcoming both before and after the flight and offered water and coffee and wifi.

No better way to celebrate our honeymoon!

Dec 2019

While we were waiting for Corcovado train we saw the advertising of Helisight, so we decide, after the visit of Christ the Redeemer, to take a flight with them.
Couldn't be a better way to celebrate our honeymoon!
They took us on flight near Christ, Pao de Azucar and over Copacabana and Ipanema beaches... and seeing all of them from the sky, especially a sunset, is an A MUST to enjoy completely Rio wonders...
The flight was comfortable and safe... we'll never forget it!

Excellent panoramic views of Christ the Redeemer, Copacabana beach, Rio

Dec 2019

We are very satisfied to have decided to take this aerial tour of Christ the Redeemer, Copacabana beach, and the mountains and seas around Rio. The pilot made every effort to cover the most interesting areas and attractions and we could take pictures all around. The front desk staff Flavia, Bianka and Talison provided clear explanations on what we would see and answered all our questions so that we were comfortable taking the flight. We did not make reservations and had two people, so we had to wait for others to join as minimum were three people and we waited about 90 minutes during which we toured around Sugar Loaf mountain until they called us so the timing worked out well for us. Thank you!

See Rio from where it matters. The top!

Sep 2023 • Business

This helicopter ride in Rio was a breathtaking and top-notch experience, thanks to a highly accommodating company. Initially, cloudy skies had me waiting a bit, but their timely advice ensured I witnessed Rio in optimal conditions. The spectacular views, friendly pilots, and the company’s thoughtful approach made this a must-do activity for anyone visiting Rio. The company’s dedication to a fantastic experience makes this aerial adventure truly unforgettable. Special thanks to Clayton and Piloto Juliano!

Highlight of Rio from High above!

Mar 2023

We were booked on a 10 minute flight. Our guide suggested the upgrade to 30 minutes flight. Very well worth the extra money to do so. Our pilot circled Christ the Redeemer clock wise and counter clock wise so that everyone on the flight had a great view, and great photo option. The staff is well organized, the heli was clean and safety was their priority. There was no commentary on board, but it is not needed as you soar over Rio's beaches, the hillside, Sugar Loaf and Christ the Redeemer. My husband was hesitant to go, but upon landing he asked if we could go again, and again! It really was a highlight of our time in Rio.

Incredible experience!

Incredible experience! I recommend boarding at the Urca mountain, especially if you are a solo tourist. You will need 2 more ppl to ride a helicopter, and the turnover of tourists is greater there. I was able to join the ride of 4 other ppl within an hour

Unforgettable experience!

It was a fabulous experience with Vieira, our pilot. You can have an incredible view of the city and a close up view of the Cristo Redentor. Absolutely worth it. Endryw, Adilson and Felipe were very helpful and nice. It is pricey but if you can do it, I fully recommend it!

The best way to see the Corcovado Christ monument

The booking service was easy and friendly. Rayana, Sophia and Adoō were friendly, they speak three languages and were very helpful.
Juliano was our pilot and he gave us the best tour: landed at the Pão de Açúcar before overflying Botafogo and Copacabana. He then headed to the Corcovado Christ and overflew the impressive monument .
I had the worst seat on the helicopter but I was still able to enjoy the views.
Make sure you take the tour at least with one partner to be able to share the window views.

The pilot, Melissa, gave us an amazing tour around Corcovado (Christ the Redeemer) and we had a fantastic view over wonderful Rio. The staff at Helisight were friendly and service-minded and speak english well. If the weather is too cloudy, it is no problem to move your trip to an other day.
