Our tours leave from one of the three locations: Jacarepaguá Airport, Olympic Golf Course and Recreio Heliport. Flapper tailor-made itineraries include the following additional departure points: Lagoa Heliport, Santos Dumont Airport, Galeão Airport and RioCentro Heliport.

Prior to take-off, a 3-minute security briefing shall be conducted for all passengers. We will ask about your prior experience with helicopters and demonstrate the correct way to board the aircraft. Please make sure all your loose items are secured once you enter the helicopter. Our marshalling team will open the doors before and after touchdown, secure or unfasten safety belts, and direct passengers to and from the helicopter.

All takeoff sites, the Olympic Golf Course included, have waiting lounges with complimentary snacks, water and coffee. Make the most of your time before takeoff by arriving 30 minutes in advance to utilise our complimentary Wi-Fi and plan your upcoming airborne photo shoot. The Flapper concierge team will be your constant companions during the journey and provide you with updates regarding the status of your flight.

All flights will fly over the Christ Redeemer Statue and can include up to thirty additional viewpoints, ranging from the beaches of the sister city of Niterói to the Maracanã Stadium.

This flight will be operated by safety-vetted aircraft, pursuant to Part 135. While on partner aircraft as part of the Flapper Service, passengers are subject to the insurance coverage of said partners.
