A 25 to 30 minute Comandante Nobre helicopter flight over Rio, passing Christ, Sugarloaf, Copacabana, and the coast.

“We booked a private tour of 525 USD for 30 minutes flight, 2 people (it states in the add that you’ll be flying between 25-30 minutes). We were back after 17 minutes. The sun was perfect, no wind, no nothing. When I asked the pilot why he flew so short, he mentioned I should make a complaint if I am unhappy with the time he flew. I complained at the office after the flight and they said the pilot decides when to come back. Ok, but what about my money, as I received half of what I paid for…(?) Very unprofessional, to be avoided!”

14.Rio de Janeiro Helicopter Tour

★★★★★★★★★★4.0 · 41 reviews · 9 to 10 minutes (approx.) · from $291.77

Rio de Janeiro helicopter tour over Sugar Loaf and Christ, plus Copacabana, Ipanema and more, with hotel shared transfer.

“I followed the steps calling by telephone 72 hours before, and a second call the same day of departure in the morning. Pick up at the hotel at 2:30 p.m. was nice and fun, people at the heliport was nice and smiling, and the helicopter was even nicer! With capacity for 4 people and the pilot, everyone was able to see, photograph and record almost everything. Flight was super stable by a pro pilot. Even the noise was not a problem. Happy passengers, happy hosts, happy day! P.S: Oh, and I was in the "worst" seat with no window. It was still perfect to see both sides and ahead.”
