See Christ the Redeemer, Copacabana, Ipanema, Sugarloaf, and Guanabara Bay on a brief Rio helicopter flight from Lagoa.

“I would give them zero, but … I’m being nice. If you are traveling solo or a couple DO NOT BOOK your flight with them. I booked this activity because a brazilian girl in my flight told me to do this activity. Showed up at my scheduled time as so did another guy. We both wasted our morning thinking we were going to flight over, however, we were not able to do so because a 3rd person was missing. I understand the fuel and their requirements, the problem is that this site will let you book the tour even if you are only 1. Before you book confirm with them…”

4.Panoramic Helicopter Flight over Iguassu Falls

★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 312 reviews · 10 minutes (approx.) · from $147Best value

Review of the 10-minute Iguassu Falls helicopter flight in Brazil, with honest advice on views, seating, waiting times, price, weather, and value.

“AMAZING!! Views and vibes were immaculate and unreal. Chopper seats 6 people, 1 in the passenger seat and 5 in the back. Everyone has access to the views but obviously passenger is probably best seat and the 4 window seats are next best, so one person does get stuck in the back middle which kinda sucks. Best to go in a group of 6 so you know each other and don’t have rude and aggressive tourists on your 10 minute flight literally pushing your head out of the way so they can get some probably awful photo of nothing. So yeah go with a bigger group or be there in…”

“Bitter sweet experience with this tour company. They seemed to careless about customer's experience. I was traveling with my friend to Rio and we absolutely wanted to do this tour, we booked and paid in advance but we didn't know our tour was not guaranteed anyways because we bought the shared tour what means if they don't find a solo travelers at the same day and time of your tour you would have to pay the difference and make it private or else your tour will be re schedule or cancelled. It was very frustrating to deal with this matter while in vacation, Viator should also tell you this when…”

The actual flight is about 30 min and Rio is beautiful from above. A Brazilian came with us (3 ppl per ride) and paid 700 Rais (I paid a much higher price earlier online). I later discussed the helicopter trip with a Brazilian friend and he stated that he too paid the 700 reais rate.
