Paragliding for couples in Niterói

Yes, a couple can live this together — and it is beautiful. The direct answer: each person flies their own tandem flight, with their own instructor, but the launches happen side by side. You share the same sky, the same view of Rio and the same memory, each of you with the safety of flying beside a professional.

How flying as a couple works

Here is the point that raises most questions: the couple does not fly on the same wing. On a tandem flight each paraglider carries one passenger and one certified instructor — that is what keeps the experience safe. For couples, we organise two simultaneous tandem flights: you with one instructor, your partner with another.

In practice, the magic is in the timing. Both launches are arranged to happen in sequence or almost together, so that you are in the air at the same time, side by side, looking at each other while gliding over Niterói. You can wave, laugh at the adrenaline and take in the view knowing the person you love is right there.

Why not on the same wing? Because a tandem paraglider is designed for one passenger per instructor — that is what makes launch, flight and landing safe. Two flights side by side give you all the emotion of sharing the moment without compromising on safety.

Proposals in the air

Few settings beat a marriage proposal with Christ the Redeemer and Sugarloaf behind you. Some couples prefer the proposal in the air, flying side by side; others choose the moment after landing, with feet back on the ground and emotions still running high.

Whatever the idea, the secret is to arrange it in advance. Tell us your plan and we can adjust the order of the launches, position the camera at the right angle and make sure nobody spoils the surprise. More ideas are in birthday and proposal ideas in Rio.

Perfect occasions

• Valentine's Day: swap the usual dinner for a story worth telling. Book well ahead, as it is a busy date.
• Anniversaries: mark the date with the city at your feet — and a new photo every year.
• Honeymoon: for couples passing through Rio, an unforgettable chapter of the trip.
• Just because: sometimes the best gift is simply "let's go flying" on an ordinary weekend.

Photos and video from both sides

Photos and video are included and taken during each flight. Because each of you flies in your own wing, each instructor records his own passenger — so you end up with two points of view of the same moment: you smiling in the air and your partner flying alongside, with Christ the Redeemer, Sugarloaf and Guanabara Bay behind.

For a couple, that combination makes beautiful material: you can edit a video with both perspectives or keep the exact instant of a proposal.

How to book for two

• Price: from R$ 379 per person. As the couple makes two flights, count the price for both.
• Duration: each flight lasts 10 to 20 minutes, depending on the wind.
• Where: the ramp at Parque da Cidade in Niterói, one of the best viewpoints over Rio.
• Team: CBVL-certified instructors with years of experience flying tandem.
• The wind decides: allow slack in your schedule and count on the possibility of rebooking.

Tell us it is a flight for two when you message us, and we will organise both launches together and align any special idea you have in mind.
