Flight of Parapente Paraglider (Including the GoPro video)
Incredible flight
Incredible experience, I was nervous but the instructor was super attentive and calmly managed to calm me and the flight was wonderful. I recommend closed eyes! It was a wonderful experience.

Rio de Janeiro Tandem Paragliding with Epic Ocean Views
Amazing View and Experience!
This was our first time paragliding, that too, in Brazil! We loved every minute of the experience! The takeoff feels a little intimidating at first, but once you're in the air, it truly feels like you're flying 😃 Fabio was absolutely amazing! We arrived a bit late, but he was incredibly patient, friendly, and professional. He made us feel comfortable and ensured we had a safe and unforgettable experience from start to finish. If you're thinking about paragliding, don't hesitate, highly recommended, especially with Fabio!

Best surf experience
Best surf experience yet – sorry Phuket! Coach Rafael has a great, direct approach. No fluff, just exactly what you need to know without confusing you with extra info, to get you standing up on the board easily, and quickly. The class is loads of fun and gives you a massive adrenaline boost, you'll immediately want to book another session.Plus, the scenery is incredible. Highly recommend!
