Traveler reviews
The experience
The helicopter departs from Foz do Iguaçu after pickup from your hotel in the downtown area or from Puerto Iguazu across the border. At the helipad, you'll receive a safety briefing and all necessary equipment before boarding. The actual flight time is 10 minutes, during which the pilot navigates above the falls themselves. A perspective no ground-level tour can match. An experienced guide travels with you and provides context throughout the flight.
The defining constraint here is group size: each helicopter holds a maximum of four passengers, which means you're never crammed in with strangers and everyone gets a window seat or near one. This small capacity is also why the tour requires a minimum of three passengers to operate. If bookings fall short after confirmation, you can reschedule to another date, receive a full refund, or purchase a second ticket. Weather can cancel or reschedule the flight, and you'll be reimbursed if that happens.
If you're picking up in Puerto Iguazu to cross into Brazil for the flight, you'll pay an Eco Touristic Tax locally at the border. Keep your receipt to avoid being charged twice. A current valid passport is required. Check whether you need a visa to enter Brazil before booking. The guide speaks English, Spanish or Portuguese depending on the group.
Is this one for you?Book this if you want the aerial view of Iguassu Falls as your main event rather than a quick add-on, with a 10-minute flight that fits into a half-day itinerary.
