Helicopter tours in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil
Rio's Christ the Redeemer, Sugarloaf Mountain, and the beaches of Copacabana and Ipanema are laid out in a way that's best appreciated from the air, where the mountains and coastline meet.
When's the best time to fly?
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 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.
