It was a dream that my boyfriend and I had always planned. The experience was wonderful from start to finish. Seeing Christ the Redeemer in person was one of the most spectacular moments I have ever experienced.

It was truly a wonderful experience. We are from Chile and wanted to visit the aquarium. The staff who attended to the public were lovely people and we had an incredible time.

The stadium is great, maybe because of the date and the events you can not appreciate well as shown in the Maracana tour, as we could not enter the field, in my opinion is good tour but lacked that detail of information before buying the ticket, we could only be in the stands.

It was a unique experience to visit such wonderful places with such an amazing guide. Carlos was always attentive to our needs, very patient, and super friendly. The estimated duration may be a little longer, depending on the day and time of the visit, so it's a good idea to allow a little extra time for this experience.

A wonderful day spent among the wonders of Rio. The tour was fantastic in every way: excellent organization, exceptional guide. It's a shame that voice guidance in Italian wasn't available.

The views were incredible but unfortunately the lines were very long regardless of what time you had prebooked the ticket, next time I would pay for the fast pass. The staff were kind and friendly and it's definitely worth it.

Top things to do in Rio de Janeiro

Sky-high in Rio: The city looks better from a helicopter

From the golden curves of Copacabana to the towering arms of Christ the Redeemer, Rio de Janeiro is a city that was made to be seen from above. Fly over Sugarloaf Mountain, glide past the Maracanã Stadium, and take in sweeping views of beaches, rainforest, and the city all in one breathtaking ride. Curious about how to get that bird’s-eye view? Stay on this page for everything you need to know about Rio helicopter tours!

Your complete guide to Christ the Redeemer

Why go on a Christ the Redeemer helicopter tour?

Get face-to-face with Christ

Most people see the statue from a crowded platform. You? You’ll hover at eye level with the 30-meter-tall statue—arms wide, views wider. No lines, no pushing, just a smooth loop around Corcovado with Rio sprawling beneath you.

Hit Rio’s icons in one smooth ride

Christ the Redeemer, Sugarloaf Mountain, Copacabana, Ipanema, and more—this tour checks off Rio’s best landmarks faster than you can say “traffic jam.” In 12 minutes, you’ll see more than most people manage in a full day, with better angles and zero time wasted on logistics.

Escape the crowds 

Forget the van rides, train queues, and jostling for a photo spot. This is the shortcut everyone wishes they knew about. Take off, rise above the noise, and enjoy uninterrupted views while the crowds are still waiting for their turn on the platform.

Safe and smooth

This isn’t any thrill-seeking ride; it’s designed for comfort and epic views. You’ll fly with licensed pros in top-condition choppers and wraparound windows for maximum visibility. It’s secure, scenic, and seriously well-run.

Get the kind of photos people zoom in on

Looking for that one shot everyone double-taps? You’ll get it here—clean, wide-angle views with no strangers in your frame. The Christ from above, Sugarloaf at golden hour, beaches that look like postcards... this isn’t just content, it’s cinematic.

Things to know before booking a Christ the Redeemer helicopter tour

  • This helicopter tour in Rio de Janeiro includes “only” a scenic flight over the city’s top landmarks, but does not include attraction tickets, guided visits, or ground entry to Christ the Redeemer.
  • The Rio helicopter tour is not a fixed-time tour. The exact departure time will be confirmed after you book, based on weather and operational factors. Flights operate on a first-come, first-served basis, so flexibility is key, especially during busy seasons.
  • Each flight requires at least three confirmed passengers. If the minimum isn’t met on your preferred day, your booking will be fully refunded. 
  • Helicopter flights in Rio are weather-dependent. Rain, fog, or strong winds may lead to delays or cancellations. 
  • Children under 2 years typically fly free if they sit on a guardian’s lap. However, if the pilot deems a separate seat necessary for safety reasons, a full ticket will be charged.

Christ the Redeemer helicopter tour visitor tips

  • Book early to secure your preferred time slot, especially for weekends and late afternoon flights when the lighting is ideal for photos.
  • Arrive at least 30 minutes before your flight for check-in, safety briefing, and seat assignment. This helps ensure you're not rushed and have a better chance at a window seat.
  • Wear snug, comfortable clothing and avoid anything that could blow away, like hats, scarves, or loose jewelry. Lightweight layers are best.
  • Photography is key, so bring a good camera or phone with a strap, plus sunglasses to reduce glare from the helicopter windows.
  • Weather matters. Flights may be delayed or rescheduled due to clouds, fog, or wind. Mid-morning and late afternoon are typically clearest.
  • Keep your ID handy, as you'll need it to check in. Also, bring a card or a small amount of cash in case you need to pay for extras or transport.
  • The helicopter tour is wheelchair accessible, including the helipad area and the boarding process. Staff are trained to assist passengers with limited mobility.
  • Flat access routes are available at the departure point, and portable ramps or lifts may be used to help with boarding, depending on the aircraft model.
