Excursion Rio by helicopter tour at Rio de Janeiro

What could be better than a helicopter tour from a privileged vantage to contemplate unforgettable sites of this beautiful city? View nestled against a backdrop of granite peaks Sugar Loaf Mountain rising from Guanabara Bay and take some of the most spectacular photos of Rio imaginable, including Christ the Redeemer on Corcovado Mountain, overlooking Copacabana Beach and the Atlantic Ocean.

Your exciting day begins with an approximately 30-minute ride to the helipad. On arrival to the helipad board the helicopter and prepare for your departure.

Helicopter Tour

Accommodating just four fortunate guests per helicopter, enjoy one of the best ways to view the 'Cidade Maravilhosa', or the marvellous city. Soar over green hillsides, gleaming high-rises and lively neighbourhoods tucked between massive columns of rock, and marvel at a dramatic view of Corcovado Mountain. Many travellers have climbed to the foot of its famous landmark, Christ the Redeemer. But, you will have the unique thrill of peering down upon, rather than up at, Christ's outstretched arms.

At the conclusion of the exhilarating flight, return to the pier to re-board the ship.
