Taking a helicopter tour in Rio de Janeiro can be easier than you think, as long as you follow some essential instructions.

As you are probably looking forward to this flight, we have prepared the main tips for you.

Choose a reliable company:

Among all the tips for those going on a helicopter tour in Rio de Janeiro, this is the most important. Make sure you choose a reliable company to carry out your tour.

Choosing a serious company makes all the difference between a wonderful experience and a traumatic experience.

Make sure that the company meets safety standards, has up-to-date documentation, follows an appropriate maintenance plan for its aircraft and has experienced pilots who are up to date in their training

Be punctual:

Please schedule the tour on a day and time that is convenient for your schedule, as delays may result in the need to reschedule the tour.

Pilots follow a flight plan that includes specific times, dates and locations for the flyover.

Therefore, make sure you arrive at the airport in advance and confirm your availability for the scheduled time. Otherwise, it may be necessary to reschedule the tour.

Choose the best date:

At Rio2Fly, we carry out flights throughout the year, every day. Therefore, you have the flexibility to choose the best time of year, day and time for your flight.

However, it is important to keep an eye on the weather conditions, as, in case of rain, the pilot can wait for the weather to improve or, if necessary, reschedule the tour.

Checking the weather forecast before your flight allows you to make adjustments to ensure the best experience possible.

Documentation in order:

Before boarding the helicopter, you will need to present your photo ID at reception. Therefore, make sure that all documents requested at the time of scheduling are with you.

Take care of your diet:

Although most people do not experience motion sickness during a helicopter flight, the movement and rocking of the aircraft can affect some people.

To ensure a peaceful experience, it is advisable to have light meals before the tour, avoiding heavy dishes, such as pasta, and moderation in the consumption of alcoholic beverages.

Protect your belongings:

If you intend to take personal objects, such as a cell phone, camera or any other item, it is recommended to use safety straps to prevent them from falling or being forgotten on board the aircraft.

Smaller items can be stored in a bag or bag to avoid accidents during the flight.

Do not touch the controls:

Although it may seem obvious, it is important to emphasize that passengers should not touch the helicopter’s controls, especially if they are sitting next to the pilot.

Any wrong movement can pose a great risk of accident.

The pilots are highly trained and competent, so let them operate the controls while you enjoy the ride, the views and the pilot’s explanations.

Follow the safety instructions:

Passenger safety is a priority at all times.

Therefore, strictly follow all safety instructions, such as keeping your seat belt fastened, not climbing onto seats, not standing during the flight and not removing your headphones, among others.

These instructions are essential to ensure everyone has a safe and enjoyable experience.

Choose seats in advance:

If you are flying with family or friends, it is important to decide in advance where each person will sit to avoid arguments or delays during takeoff.

Depending on the plan chosen, the helicopter may have a different number of seats, but, in general, it can accommodate 3 to 4 passengers, in addition to the pilot.

Arrange in advance who will occupy the seats by the windows to enjoy the stunning views. It’s worth mentioning that the seat next to the pilot offers the best view.

Make sure your image capture device is ready:

A moment as special as a helicopter ride over the main tourist attractions in Rio de Janeiro deserves to be recorded in detail.

Make sure your cell phone or camera has enough battery and storage space to capture every moment of this visual spectacle.

Many passengers opt for professional photography and filming services; If this is the case for you, please check the details during your appointment.
