This is one of the world's great urban hang gliding experiences: silent flight above Atlantic forest, panoramic views of Sugarloaf and Christ the Redeemer when the route allows, and a soft finish on the sand with your pilot handling every stage of the flight. 📋 Key Details Duration: About 90 minutes total including briefing and transfers Format: Tandem hang gliding with a certified instructor Meeting point: São Conrado Minimum age: 14 (under-18s need a guardian present and photo ID) Launch and landing: Pedra Bonita to São Conrado beach 🪂 What to Expect You'll meet the crew in São Conrado and, if you have booked a transfer, head toward the launch site on the mountain. At Pedra Bonita your instructor fits your harness, explains the take-off run and manages the glider throughout launch, flight and landing on São Conrado beach. Once airborne you'll glide silently above Tijuca Forest with Atlantic views opening below and Rio landmarks such as Sugarloaf and Christ the Redeemer when wind and route allow. Allow about 90 minutes in total including briefing and transfers, with optional return transport back to your hotel zone if booked. 📍 Location Above Tijuca National Park on the slopes behind São Conrado, launches rank among the most dramatic tandem hang gliding settings in the world. The forest canopy, coastal cliffs and open Atlantic create a constantly changing backdrop as you climb away from the ramp and turn toward the city skyline. Between mountain and ocean, São Conrado makes a natural finale when you land on the beach. The meeting area is easy to reach by taxi or ride app from major hotel zones. Optional hotel transfers can be added when you book if you prefer door-to-door coordination on the day. ✅ Prerequisites Tandem flight means no hang gliding background is required because a fully certified instructor manages the glider at every stage. You should be comfortable with a short run at take-off, sitting securely in a harness during flight, and following clear instructions from the crew on the ground and in the air. Closed shoes are mandatory and guests must meet the minimum age of 14, with under-18s accompanied by a legal guardian and photo ID for both on the day. Weight limits apply for safe tandem loading, so height and weight are collected when you book.
