Frequently asked questions
What's the best time to fly in Rio de Janeiro?
The shoulder seasons (April to June and September to November) bring milder temperatures and less humidity than the peak summer months of December to March.
What should I bring?
Light clothing and sun protection, since Rio stays warm and humid most of the year.
What happens if the weather doesn't cooperate?
Like most operators, tours in Rio de Janeiro have standard weight and balance limits (you may be asked your weight when booking or checking in), and pilots will delay or reschedule rather than fly in unsafe wind, low visibility, or storms. Booking a tour with free cancellation means a weather delay won't cost you anything.
How much do helicopter tours in Rio de Janeiro cost?
Prices vary by route, duration, and whether the tour includes a landing, but tours in Rio de Janeiro currently start from around $153.34. Longer routes, private charters, and landing tours cost more.
Can I cancel or reschedule if my plans change?
Many tours listed here offer free cancellation up to 24 hours before departure, shown as a badge on each listing. Weather-related delays and cancellations are handled directly by the operator through Viator's booking system, and a tour booked with free cancellation won't cost you anything if it needs to be rescheduled.
