Rio de Janeiro: Helicopter Flight Christ the Redeemer 30 min

10.Helicopter Flight Christ the Redeemer 30 min

★★★★★★★★★★4.7 · 250 reviews · 30 min · from $231

Fly over Rio for 25 to 35 minutes with a Portuguese, English, or Spanish-speaking guide. From Recreio, the route takes in Barra and Copacabana beaches, Christ the Redeemer, Sugarloaf Mountain, Tijuca Forest, and more. Pilot Juliana has earned special praise for her calm, professional handling. Arrive one hour early and expect shared seating.

“What a wonderful activity! I’d never been on a helicopter before so was quite apprehensive about booking, my partner was very excited about the idea though so I relented. I expected it to be terrifying and I braced myself at takeoff ready to spend the trip praying for it to be quick but it took off and was smoother than my flight home! It looked “easy” for the pilot who is obviously very experienced and a total pro. I still imagined it hit falling into the see every 2 minutes but surprisingly that had no effect on my enjoyment of the trip. Rio is the perfect location for a helicopter…”

Visit Christ the Redeemer through Tijuca rainforest, explore the Selarón Steps, and add Sugarloaf Mountain for sweeping views over Rio. Hotel pickup covers most South Zone hotels, with guides working in six languages. The tour runs about four to six hours, and private groups are available.

“Really loved doing this tour with a professional. We were collected right at our hotel by the friendliest guide and all was arranged to perfection...so easy!! We were at the top for about as long as I liked to be (not the biggest fan of heights) but the views were stunning and plenty of time to admire. My only mild issue was that we learned we had to pay for our entry tickets to the redeemer during the tour.
