Rio de Janeiro Helicopter Tour: Christ the Redeemer & Beaches

Rio de Janeiro Helicopter Tour: Christ the Redeemer & Beaches★★★★★★★★★★ 4.88 (661)7m–8mYou board a helicopter for a 30-minute panoramic flight over Rio's main landmarks: Rodrigo de Freitas Lagoon, the Botanical Garden, and Christ the Redeemer on Corcovado Hill. If weather blocks the statue, the route shifts to the beaches instead. Flights require a minimum of 3–5 passengers depending on aircraft type, and your voucher is your entry to the helipad.Is it for me?Book this if you want to see Rio's iconic landmarks and the city's geography all at once without spending hours on the ground. The short flight time and fixed route mean you're not committing a full day, and the aerial view is something you can't replicate from any viewpoint in the city itself.Free cancellationTravelers' pickInfants freefromUS$ 250View ›

Rio de Janeiro: 35-Min Helicopter Tour Christ the Redeemer★★★★★★★★★★ 4.91 (614)35mYou board a helicopter and spend 35 minutes circling Rio's landmarks — Christ the Redeemer, Pão de Açúcar, Ipanema, Leblon, Copacabana, and the lagoon — from directly above. Water and coffee are included. If weather blocks the main route, the pilot takes you along the coast instead. The flight is shared if you're booking for one or two passengers, and can be rescheduled if conditions turn bad.Is it for me?Book this if you want to see Rio's landmarks from the air without arranging ground transport or spending hours moving between viewpoints — the 35 minutes gets you the overview in one flight, and rescheduling is built in if weather gets in the way.Free cancellationTravelers' pickInfants freefromUS$ 334View ›

Rio de Janeiro: Helicopter Flight over Christ the Redeemer & Beaches★★★★★★★★★★ 4.97 (209)12m–13mYou fly over six of Rio's most recognizable landmarks—Christ the Redeemer, Copacabana, Ipanema, Red Beach, Sugarloaf Mountain and Rodrigo de Freitas Lagoon—in a private helicopter with up to three other passengers. The flight is about an hour, windows are yours for photography, and the route shows you how the city's geography actually connects. Infants sit on an adult's lap; the flight is not suitable for pregnant women past week 32.Is it for me?Right for travelers with limited time in Rio who want to see the city's major landmarks from a perspective you can't get on the ground, and who have a camera or phone ready for photos. The flight is about an hour—short enough to fit into a day, long enough to cover all six sights without rushing.Free cancellationInfants freefromUS$ 1,107View ›
