Tandem Hang Gliding Flight in Rio de Janeiro >>

Flying is a unique experience that deserves to be lived! Imagine taking off from the top of a mountain with a fully equipped paragliding launch site, without any engine, relying on nature for support. Fly like birds over forests, beaches, and mountains. Fly with incredible views of Rio de Janeiro at your feet, to the sound of the wind on your face. Fly to feel, at the end, the earth touch your feet again, with a smooth and safe landing on the beach sand or a smooth lawn. Flying is a mixture of adrenaline, total freedom, and peace. An experience never before lived by those who practice paragliding for the first time. You too can fly; all it takes is a little courage and, above all, the desire to experience new sensations.

The areas where paragliding is practiced are privileged by their beauty and are highly sought after by nature lovers and outdoor sports enthusiasts. On weekends, the ramps are packed with people seeking leisure and fun. The ActionFly Team operates in locations of great natural beauty, excellent location, and high pedestrian traffic. See here the main paragliding locations and ramps in Rio de Janeiro.

After some explanations on the ramp about the takeoff procedures, we will only have the job of executing a short run to take off with the hang glider, supporting the pilot and the passenger, who from then on, enter gliding flight.

Flight time depends on two main factors:

1- Weather conditions at the time between takeoff and landing;

2 - Expertise and skill of the instructor pilot.

Since our team is made up of racing pilots, you will be served by highly skilled professionals who, as a rule, always try to extend the flight as much as possible.

There is no maximum flight time limit, but under good conditions, it's possible to fly for up to 20 minutes, taking advantage of the right winds. Generally, tandem flights last 10 minutes at worst, and 20-25 minutes at best.

We are a team with several pilots available, and your flight will not be shortened so that the next passenger can fly. We can therefore accommodate your friends who also want to fly. Taking a tandem flight with a pilot who frequently participates in competitions gives your scenic flight the advantage of the instructor possessing the technique to maintain flight for longer periods – a necessary skill for pilots in long-distance and long-duration flight competitions. Thus, your flight can be extended, and you can enjoy a sensational flight safely and calmly. To view our team's curriculum and qualifications, click here .

Your safety always comes first!!! To ensure a safe flight, you must first verify that your instructor is qualified, checking if they possess the certifications issued by the Brazilian Free Flight Confederation (CBVL).

Value this and always check your pilot's level, who must present an INSTRUCTOR qualification, and also the condition of the equipment. All our equipment used in flights is new (less than one year old), from world-leading brands and checked periodically. We also avoid flying in turbulent conditions, as they cause discomfort to the passenger. Our goal is to show the tranquility and beauty of free flight, and not to fly at any cost, risking our passengers to an unpleasant situation. Our team is composed of professional pilots, accredited by the Brazilian Free Flight Confederation and extremely qualified to fly with total safety, transmitting tranquility, quality and peace in this experience that is a mixture of adrenaline and emotion.

For your convenience, we arrange to meet our passengers at a meeting point easily accessible by any means of transport, with parking available so that your vehicle can be safely left, if necessary. We take our clients to the take-off ramp using our team's cars, ensuring maximum comfort. If you are traveling with companions, we can offer them a ride to the ramp in our car, or they can wait in the landing area, on the beach, or at the kiosks. After take-off, they descend the mountain with our drivers, and everyone meets again in the landing zone.

There is no maximum age limit for flying. The minimum age is 14 years old. For those under 18, a parent or guardian (of legal age) must sign a liability waiver at the local club headquarters before going up to the launch ramp with the instructor. The weight limit is not due to the equipment's resistance, which is oversized and can support on average up to 8 times the nominal flight weight. However, heavier passengers may not have the necessary mobility for a safe takeoff. So, although weight doesn't directly influence takeoff, in some cases it affects the mobility for the brief run required for takeoff, especially on days with light winds. On average, a hang glider takes off without problems with passengers weighing up to 85kg, and on windy days, up to 95kg. If you weigh more than that, please contact us and we will analyze your case to take off in better wind conditions and assess if there are any mobility restrictions. It is mandatory to wear footwear that is securely fastened to your feet (sneakers, closed sandals, or similar), and on colder days, we advise wearing trousers that allow for movement and warm clothing. The temperature in flight does not change much compared to the temperature on the ground.

PEOPLE WITH SPECIAL NEEDS: People with special needs can also fulfill their dream of flying. However, each case must be analyzed individually to assess the limitations and necessary adjustments/adaptations to ensure a safe flight. To find out if flying is possible for you, please contact us.

All our flights are recorded using state-of-the-art cameras and special mounts, so that no moment of your adventure is missed.

Optionally, we can produce images at various angles, or using 360-degree technology.

After the flight, all images can be delivered via internet links, saved to your USB drive, or even recorded directly on your phone or tablet. In the latter cases, delivery of the images is made immediately after landing. See examples of photos and videos in our galleries.

The experience of flying without engines, using equipment powered solely by nature, is paid for at a negligible price compared to the cost of the entire infrastructure. Furthermore, the thrill and safety are priceless. Recognizing that flying is a dream for many, we offer ways to help you achieve it.

All packages include passenger transportation from our meeting point to the take-off ramp. If you have companions, we will transport up to two companions per passenger in our team vehicle, or if you prefer, the companion can wait in the landing area on the premises of the local club. Access to the ramp in your own car is not recommended as it is quite steep/winding, unless the vehicle is 4x4 or has a powerful engine, requiring considerable driving skill. Payment will only be validated after landing, if the passenger enjoyed the experience with our team. If the flight is not carried out due to weather conditions or cancellation, nothing will be charged.

If payment has been made in advance and the flight is unable to take place due to unsuitable weather conditions or any other reason, the amount will be immediately refunded to the passenger, in a manner to be agreed upon with the instructor, provided that the passenger does not wish to reschedule the flight for another date.
