- ChicagoJamesB00HELISIGHT RIO HELICOPTER TOURAbsolutely recommend the #3 option flight! Expensive? Yes Wirth it? YES!! Clayton, Samara, and Amanda helped us at counter. Our pilot, Androaldo was fantastic! Perfect day with sunset over Cristo Redentor! Beautiful flight over beaches and Rio as well Our Chicago family will never forget this experience of a lifetime!! JUST GO FOR IT!!
- 588milenak00Helicopter the best !Excellent experience! Beautiful views ! We felt safe ! Thank you very much to Abner, Samara, Adilson and Matheus!!
- 23imedt00Great company for helicopter toursI’ve used this company before, always professional, they speak English if you don’t speak Portuguese, great company, safe & reliable. Happy to recommend them for your helicopter tour.
- 1enriqueh00Outstanding experienceOutstanding view, outstanding professional pilot, she was a female pilot. I do not recall her name, though.
- Aliksacha00The only way to see Rio de JaneiroWonderful experience worth every penny. We took a 15 minute tour which was better than the one of just flying around the statue of Christ the redeemer. Unfortunately the 30 minute tour was totally booked out. Thanks to the very helpful staff Abmer, Adilson, Matheus and the wonderful and beautiful pilot Kelly
- bernadettab201800Highly recommend!A total must! The team of Amanda, Samara, Adilsou, Clayton and Patricia made sure we would fly in reasonable time. Great explanation in English, great views! Trip of a lifetime!
- Happy_Camper_800Fantastic Helicopter rideThis 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
- 736brentonj00Highlight of our trip to RioMy wife and I took a helicopter flight yesterday. Well worth the money. The flight was the highlight of our Rio trip. Beautiful views! We picked the route that went to christ and the beach.
- guillermoz29500Fantastic experienceFantastic experience flying over one of the most beautiful cities of the world. Very well organized by Helisight
- B4739TXpedroh00The 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. :)
- 310avantis00100000/10!This experience was absolutely incredible!!!!! It was worth every penny! I was initially afraid to go on a helicopter but it ended up being so peaceful and not scary at all. The sights were breathtaking and unlike anything I have ever experienced before. The staff made us so comfortable, they were friendly, accommodating and helped us feel the excitement about the excursion. Special thanks to Kelly and Reyani, they were amazing :) I would recommend this to literally anyone!
- Angie H00PHENOMENAL!Omg the tour to see Christ the redeemer was an unforgettable experience! The aerial views were absolutely breathtaking and definitely got a better view compared to folks who took the long hike to see the statue. The duration of the flight felt just right! A special shoutout to Kelly and Reyani for their exceptional care and attention throughout. They ensured our comfort and safety, making the whole experience even better. 10/10 recommend!!
- Em R00Great experienceThe service was super quick and great with Mr. Abner who was nice and very kind. I would recommend the tour in the helicopter
- Safari2050123453500Best 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.

This is a really special treat and very surprising actually. I totally underestimated the power and energy I would experience in viewing the city from above and flying close to Cristo.

Took the shorter beach route and was lucky enough to catch the start of sunset. Absolutely stunning views!! Beautiful. The staff were all super friendly and helpful. Kelly was really bubbly and enthusiastic and explained everything in English very well. Rayana and Adilson were amazing too. Made me feel really comfortable - I’m afraid of heights. 🫣 And João was great. He took some cool photos before embarking on one of the most amazing experiences. Couldn’t recommend it enough. Absolutely fantastic!
