Paragliding as a gift

Yes, you can give someone a paragliding flight — and it is one of the most memorable gifts there is. Instead of another object that ends up in a drawer, you give an experience: minutes gliding over Niterói, with a view of Christ the Redeemer and Guanabara Bay, and a story they will tell for years.

Why give an experience

Everyone has received a present that pleased for five minutes and then faded into the background. An experience works the other way around: the value is not in the object but in the memory. Someone who goes paragliding does not get a thing — they get a story, with photos, video and the feeling of having done something brave.

Add the surprise factor. Nobody expects to open a present and discover they are going flying. That "I cannot believe this is real" moment is what turns a date into something memorable, whether it is a birthday, an anniversary or an achievement worth celebrating.

Perfect occasions

• Valentine's Day: a flight for two, side by side in separate wings, beats any dinner.
• Birthdays: the perfect way to mark a new age, especially a round one.
• Mother's or Father's Day: for the parent who "already has everything".
• A marriage proposal: in the air or right after landing, with Niterói's view behind.
• Graduations and achievements: flying higher after a lot of effort is a fitting symbol.

Not on the list? Any reason to celebrate is a reason to fly — including no reason beyond making someone happy.

How to give a flight, step by step

1. Decide on the gift. If you are unsure about the person's profile — weight, age or a health condition — check first in who can go paragliding.
2. Message us. We explain the voucher options and payment and arrange everything with you.
3. Make the surprise. Tell them in person, in a card or in a message — however you like.
4. They book the date. Because paragliding depends on the weather, it is easiest for the person receiving the gift to agree the date with us, with flexibility to rebook if the wind does not cooperate.

Important: there is no automatic gift card with fixed rules on the website. We arrange the voucher, payment and booking by message, so everything fits your surprise.

What is included

• A tandem flight of 10 to 20 minutes beside a certified instructor with more than 19 years of experience.
• All the equipment: wing, harness and helmet, checked item by item before launch.
• Photos and video of the experience, already included.
• The view of Niterói: Christ the Redeemer, Sugarloaf and Guanabara Bay from an angle few people know.

Prices start at R$ 379. If the person has never flown, send them your first tandem flight, step by step along with the surprise — it takes the anxiety away.

Tips for the surprise

• Make a symbolic voucher. A handmade card saying "You are going paragliding!" creates the moment.
• Film the reaction. The face of someone finding out is priceless.
• Pick the right moment, ideally with people they love around.
• Check discreetly that they are up for it and have no health restrictions.
• Consider flying too — each in your own wing — and turn it into a shared experience.
