      Amazing!!
      I had the most incredible time. I was terrified but the amazing crew put me at ease straight away and told me of their decades of experience which was so evident with the jump. It was beautiful and I’m so glad i did it! Thank you! 🖤

      This was such an amazing experience! Roberto was a terrific instructor and eased my ancestry before we took off! The sights were beautiful and being that high up seeing all of Rio is definitely a once in a lifetime experience everyone should take!

      Great experience! We weren’t able to go at our original time due to wind conditions so they rescheduled for the following morning. Shows their commitment to safety

    My wife bought both of us a Hang Gliding trip with Beto Rotor as a birthday gift and it was one of the greatest things I have ever done in my life! Beto is very knowledgeable, fun to be around and instructed us on everything we needed. The pre-flight “tension” is literally gone the moment you run with him, step out of the platform and the ground is not there anymore, because you’re gliding in the air! I felt like SUPERMAN!!! The view from the top of the world is beautiful, the wind in your face feels great and we were lucky it was a sunny day. Landing was smooth and easy. Beto also took pictures and made a video of my entire flight and they look great too. I definitely recommend and wouldn’t hesitate to fly with Beto Rotor again!!!

    We were looking forward to braving our fears and hang-gliding in Rio, but alas, Mother Nature wouldn't let it be so. The winds were too strong all day, but our instructor, Beto, kept us abreast of the changing conditions throughout the day. When it became apparent that our itinerary would no longer allow us to do this activity, we were promptly refunded our money. 🙏🏿

    Rio was truly such an amazing experience, and I know that I will certainly return someday soon. I will definitely turn back to these guys to take care of some unfinished business. 💪🏿 Thanks guys!

    Today was my first time hang gliding and I could not have asked for a better experience. Staff was super responsive and flexible (I had to change dates last minute) and made every aspect of the trip run very smoothy. The views at São Conrado were absolutely breathtaking--the type of views you only see in movies. Beto and Carla (flyer and guide) were awesome. The process was quick and easy and I felt completely safe and secure when it was time to fly. As far as the flight goes, words alone are not enough. It's truly a MUST if you're ever in the area.

    Best experience ever! I already did bungee, paragliding, airplain jump, but this was something completely new. One feels like a bird.

    I strongly recommend going with this agency as the instructor was one of the most positive, friendly and energetic persons I have ever met. Not only that, he had decades of experiences and I could sense this while we were flying. We also did some very crazy stunts in the air so the sense of exhilaration was present from the moment I set in the car until I was back on the beach.

    Highly recommend working with Beto and his team. They are professionals and make you feel safe from start to finish. You will feel like a bird floating in the air.

    I'm not sure about other groups, but Beto's hang gliders have 3 cameras (front, back, side)---which gives you incredible footage from all angles. The total price (660BR) includes the flight, tax and one camera angle (video and pics); with each additional angle at ~100BR (~$25USD). Definitely worth it!!!

    Beto and the the rest of the hang gliding crew were great. Awesome views and experience. You start on top of a mountain and glide down for a beach landing. Mountain and ocean views, very beautiful and safe. Trip comes with great pictures and videos at no additional charge.

    I was picked up from my hotel at the exact time they said they would. After that it was a short drive to the check-in location on the beach where they got me set up and explained what was going to happen. Next we drove up the mountain and got to the top and while I was nervous everybody was in very good spirits and extremely helpful. My instructor did a great job of explaining what was going to happen and what we needed to do and before you knew it I was in the air paragliding on my way down to the beach. It was the easiest and most incredible thing I have done so far in Brazil. Highly recommended

    Amazing people, very friendly ,I was nervous about not flying with my bag pack and he held it for me during the flight. Great Covid precautions. I have never ever flown before and I was an unaccompanied female- they made me feel like family. They let me use their internet and waited with me while I waited for my Uber. Was scared to death but I did it afraid .

    This was the greatest experience of my life and I am so grateful I chose to hang glide with Beto Rotor in Brasil! Out of my whole trip this was by far the best part of my trip. Seeing the RIo from the sky was so breath taking and had me in great spirits! I will definitely recommend hang glide to anyone reading this or thinking of doing this . It’s amazing!

    Amazing hang gliding flight with this company. Everything was very well organized. The flight was cancelled on the first day I tried due to weather but I was refunded immediately . I had booked taxi pickup and drop off and the driver was very punctual to pick up. The pilot was amazing and all the organizers talk English and were a pleasure to deal with.
