We contacted about six or seven companies to get a flight at short notice and these guys were easily the quickest and most professional to respond. They are super efficient and we got on our chopper literally within 2 minutes.
We did the 30 min flight and it was insane. The flight path follows the coast and so you gradually get to Rio itself and the main sights. The pilot pointed out everything, even non-famous sights. We circulated Cristo Redentor twice and it was insane. The vista with the beaches, sea and rainforest swirling behind this huge imposing silent monument was just mind blowing.
This is a must do if you want to see Rio in all its glory. Coming round the corner of Copacabana and Sugar Loaf will take your breath away. We felt it was good value and no other operators we spoke to were significantly cheaper. We didn't feel the need to go up the Corcovado or Sugar Loaf afterwards.

Stunning views of the "Magnificent City." Superb pilot and service. Extremely reasonable prices. Truly, the experience of a lifetime that can't be described adequately with mere words. Only the photos of what you will see can adequately describe the awe inspiring experience of a Rio Copter ride over the "Magnificent City" of Rio. I wish we could do it again and again!!!

I definitely do not recommend this touroperator. There are plenty of others that offer the same service but better and/or cheaper.
I have 2 complains:
1. False information before flying. They told us that the 360 degrees video that's taken was included in the price. Afterwards it turned out it wasn't. When we asked about it they came with a bad excuse.
2. The pilot hardly gives any information. Doesn't tell where you are, what you see or what the highlights are.
I definitely recommend a helicopter flight over Rio. But not with this company.

Booked Riocopter after reading carious reviews on trip adviser and other sites.
The price was a lot cheaper than other firms that advertise the same packages.
Very easy to book, we even included a hotel pick up. The pick up was on time and took us to the airstrip.
Staff looked after us from start to finish, nice clean waiting room with refreshments provided.
The helicopter trip was amazing, the views of all of the main Rio sites where fantastic.
Its the best way to see Rio.....

Its customers like you that make our job wonderful. We look forward to serving you again. Our Helicopter Flights over Rio will always have open arms for you, and so will Christ the Redeemer.
The city of Rio de Janeiro is one of the most sought after places by Brazilian and foreign tourists. Being able to know sights such as Sugar Loaf, Christ the Redeemer, Copacabana beaches and Arpoador is a privilege.
But, oddly enough, many Cariocas do not know their city. But here are some interesting tips for everyone to enjoy the wonders of this wonderful city.
Beaches - It has the South Zone (the most famous) as Copacabana, Leme, Arpoador, Ipanema, and Leblon. Besides these, there are the beaches of the West Zone that are also worth visiting such as Reserva Beach, Barra Beach, Prainha Beach, Grumari Beach and Dangerous Beach.
Christ the Redeemer
One of the best-known sights of Rio de Janeiro for sure is the Christ the Redeemer. Traveling to Rio de Janeiro and not knowing Christ the Redeemer will leave your trip with that little taste that something was missing. Seeing Christ with arms wide open will surely be one of the best feelings of your life. A unique experience. The extraordinary statue of Christ the Redeemer is located at the top of Corcovado Hill. It has 30 meters high and 8 meters pedestal. It is 709 meters above sea level and being so high, you can see it from various points of the city of Rio de Janeiro. The view of Christ the Redeemer is simply stunning!
Maracana
It is possible to take a tour of the Stadium with a behind-the-scenes look at the best and have the chance to get close to the pitch, World Cup stage and Olympic Games. The tour lasts 40 minutes on average and can be done with guides or individually and is available every day until 16:30.
Helicopter tour
Did you know that you can uniquely know the sights of Rio? That's right! With a helicopter flight, you can live unforgettable moments in Rio.
At RIOCOPTER / you can choose one of the available tours or even create your itinerary. This is sure to be a super different and amazing ride.
Visit our website and make your reservation now! Be sure to enjoy this wonder!
Botanical Garden - Created by Dom João VI in 1808, with 8,000 species of plants and flowers from around the world. Tourists can visit the greenhouse and the nursery. It also has a sensory garden, dedicated to visually impaired people.
Catacombs National Park
Located in front of Rodrigo de Freitas Lagoon, the Park is an excellent option to spend a day with tranquility and adventure at the same time. The park offers incredible views from the varied lookouts it has. Admission is free and operates from Tuesday to Sunday from 8 am to 5 pm.
In the beginning, there is a zip line and canopy for children. They love it! Also, we can follow the trails and visit lookouts, such as Mirante do Urubu and Mirante do Sacopã.
Beaches - It has the South Zone (the most famous) as Copacabana, Leme, Arpoador, Ipanema, and Leblon. Besides these, there are the beaches of the West Zone that are also worth visiting such as Reserva Beach, Barra Beach, Prainha Beach, Grumari Beach and Dangerous Beach.
These are just some tour options, but Rio has a lot more. So do not lose more time! Play and enjoy every corner of this Wonderful City.

AVOID - I tried to confirm our booking with them on Whatsapp but they told us on the day that it's not available anymore. We made changes to our plans to accommodate their flying schedule availability, only to find out they "do not have availability anymore" on the day of flight. Hugely disappointed in the lack of response and responsibility and reliability.

Consejos sobre cómo visitar Sugar Loaf
Río de Janeiro está verdaderamente lleno de belleza natural. Como dice la canción: bendecida por Dios y hermosa por naturaleza. Aquí puedes encontrar increíbles opciones de tours con impresionantes vistas. Pero no hay manera de hablar sobre Río y no pensar en una atracción que despierte el interés de los cariocas y los turistas de todo el mundo, el Pan de Azúcar.
Al igual que Cristo Redentor, Sugar Loaf es una hermosa postal de la ciudad y un recorrido imperdible. Un complejo de colinas (Morro da Urca, Morro do Pão de Açúcar y Morro da Babilônia). A 396 metros, ofrece una vista privilegiada de la bahía de Guanabara, Copacabana, la playa de Leblon, Ipanema, Flamengo Embankment y Pedra da Gávea, además de poder ver a Cristo con los brazos abiertos, bendiciendo esta maravillosa ciudad.
Como es la visita
El recorrido comienza con la subida en el teleférico Sugar Loaf, que es una marca registrada de Río. Esta parte ciertamente ya vale la pena. La ruta de ascenso se realiza en 2 etapas: la primera, comenzando en Praia Vermelha y yendo a Morro da Urca y la segunda desde Morro da Urca a la montaña Pan de Azúcar. En días con poco movimiento, los teleféricos salen cada 20 minutos. Ya en temporada alta, parten tan pronto como completen el número de pasajeros (65).
La primera parte de la ruta
La primera parte del curso, de 500 metros de largo, dura un promedio de 3 minutos. Desde Morro da Urca aún no es posible ver la vista completa. En este punto, puedes ver Urca y Aterro do Flamengo. En este espacio, podemos encontrar restaurantes, cafeterías, cafeterías y muchos lugares para tomar hermosas fotos.
La segunda parte de la ruta
Para recorrer los 750 metros entre las dos colinas, el teleférico tarda un promedio de 3 minutos. Casi el doble de alto que Morro da Urca se puede ver una vista mucho más amplia e impresionante. No hay límite de tiempo para permanecer en el lugar, solo preste atención al momento del último descenso del teleférico.
Consejos:
• Operación de 8 am a 9 pm.
• Horario de taquilla de Red Beach: 08:00 a 19:50
• Horario de taquilla de Morro da Urca: 8:30 a.m. a 8:30 p.m.
• Primer viaje a Praia Vermelha / Morro da Urca a las 8:10 y último a las 20:00.
• Último viaje Montaña Pan de Azúcar / Morro da Urca: 20:40
• Último viaje Morro da Urca / Praia Vermelha: 21:00
• Viaja cada 20 minutos o alcanza la capacidad de 65 personas.
• Recuerde hidratarse bien.
• No se olvide de la protección, como bloqueador solar, gorra y gafas de sol.
La visita a Sugar Loaf se puede hacer durante todo el año, pero un consejo importante es elegir un día hermoso, con sol y así poder contemplar toda la belleza que el lugar puede ofrecerte.
¡Prepárate y que tengas un buen viaje!
