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

“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…”
