My pals and I had a great time hang gliding! Everyone we worked with was kind, humorous, and personable. We didn’t have any problems, and communication was excellent. The vistas were fantastic when hanging gliding, and it felt surreal to see Rio from above! Book your hang gliding/paragliding adventure with this business! It is absolutely worthwhile. The hang Gliding Tandem experience was amazing.
