Unreliable Booking Experience – No Response or Refund

tolua109, Apr 2025

I booked the helicopter flight for Sunday, April 13 at 3 PM based on my availability. I was later informed that I couldn’t proceed because I was the only one booked at that time, and a minimum of three people per flight was required—something that was not stated at the time of booking. After that, I was asked to provide alternative availability. Since I had a flight out on Tuesday, the only other option I had was Monday. I was told I’d be placed on a waitlist for that day. I never received a follow-up or confirmation on Monday. I reached out to request a refund, but I haven’t received any response since. I have proof of all the message exchanges between myself and the company. Please let me know how this will be resolved. I’d appreciate a prompt response.

Definitely to Do

Highly recommended! We flew around Christ the Redeemer and saw Rio's main beaches. The flight takes 10 min but it was not worth it!

Great experience, but massively overpriced—book directly for a much better deal!

Do NOT book this in advance if you care about value. The exact same helicopter experience can be arranged easily and locally in Rio for 50% less—and for this listed price, you’d get a longer, better flight (around 25 minutes instead of just 7!). Unless you’re happy paying 50% extra for only 7 minutes, book directly with Helisight or another local provider when you arrive or directly on their own site. The fair price for this experience is around £75 per person, which is what you’ll get by booking directly/locally. The flight itself is fantastic, but at this price, it’s objectively not worth it. Save your money and book smart!

Itinerary

  • Rodrigo de Freitas Lagoon

    A charming neighborhood with the face of Rio!

  • Botanical Garden

    The thriving residential area of the Botanical Garden owes its name to the Rio Botanical Gardens, where visitors stroll through the orchid house, between imperial palms and giant Amazonian victories. The landscaped nearby Parque Lage has tree-lined trails to Corcovado Hill, where the statue of Christ the Redeemer is located, and the Tijuca National Park rainforest. There are also chic bars and sophisticated restaurants popular with culinary lovers.

  • Corcovado - Christ the Redeemer

    Corcovado is one of the hills of the city of Rio de Janeiro, famous in Brazil and worldwide for its 38 meter high statue of Christ the Redeemer. Christ the Redeemer is one of the main symbols of the country and offers a privileged panoramic view of the city of Rio de Janeiro.
