What is a tandem instruction flight?

A tandem instruction flight is a type of flight in which the participant flies alongside an experienced instructor. This setup allows even those with no previous experience to enjoy the sensation of flying in safety. In Niterói, this activity is common, offering participants a privileged view of the city and its surroundings.

Who can participate?

Paragliding is inclusive and accessible to people of various age groups. Children, young people, adults, and even seniors can participate, provided they are in good health. For minors, parental consent is required, and participants must follow the instructors' guidance to ensure a safe and enjoyable experience.

Preparation for the Flight

Before taking off, participants receive detailed instructions on safety procedures and how to use the equipment. It is recommended to wear comfortable clothing and closed-toe shoes. The instructors provide all the necessary equipment, including helmets and safety harnesses. In addition, it is important to be mindful of weather conditions, as the weather directly affects whether the flight can take place.

Flight Duration and Experience

Flight duration may vary depending on wind conditions and other weather factors, but generally ranges from 7 to 30 minutes. During the flight, participants have the opportunity to enjoy panoramic views of Niterói, including the beaches, mountains, and the skyline of Rio de Janeiro in the background, with Christ the Redeemer and Sugarloaf Mountain. The feeling of freedom and connection with nature make the experience unforgettable.
Additional Services
To make the experience even more special, some companies offer additional services, such as:
• Photo and Video Documentation: High-definition photos and videos are taken during the flight, allowing participants to relive and share the adventure with friends and family.
• Triple Flight: Ideal for families, this option allows parents and children to fly together, creating unforgettable shared memories.
