What you can expect

  • Feel the freedom of paragliding and soar through the sky with the wind in your face, taking in unforgettable landscapes from a unique viewpoint.

    Our adventure begins at Parque da Cidade in Niterói. At the meeting point, you'll receive a safety briefing and all the gear you need for a tandem paragliding flight with an experienced and qualified pilot.

    After a brief preparation, it's time for takeoff. During the flight, you'll be able to admire beaches, mountains and the incredible view of Guanabara Bay, with sights that include Christ the Redeemer and Sugarloaf Mountain. At the end, the landing is carried out safely, providing a thrilling experience that is accessible even to those who have never flown before.

    The tandem flight allows people with no experience to feel the thrill of flying accompanied by an instructor, ensuring comfort and safety throughout the activity.

    Children, young people, adults and seniors who are in good health can participate. Minors require parental consent. It is recommended to wear comfortable clothing and closed-toed shoes.

    All the necessary gear is provided by the staff, including a helmet, harness and certified equipment. Before takeoff, full instructions on safety procedures are provided.

    Flight duration varies depending on weather conditions, usually between 7 and 30 minutes. Since the activity depends on the wind, there may be a short wait for the conditions to be ideal, always prioritising the safety of the participants.

    In addition to the flight experience, you'll also take home a video of your adventure, capturing every moment to share with friends and family and relive this unique feeling whenever you want.

    For those who want to make the outing even more special, there are also options such as high-definition photo packages and triple flights for families, allowing parents and children to share this unforgettable experience together.

    Paragliding in Niterói is much more than an adventure activity: it's a chance to admire one of the most beautiful landscapes in Brazil, feel the freedom of flying, and create memories that will last forever.
