Hi Chloe, the $10 was just in administrative fees upon check-in. We booked a tour ahead of time — you can click on the tour link to see current rates but I believe about $150 is the going rate. I definitely wouldn’t trust doing it for just $10, anywhere in the world 😉

Hi Alex,

I’m travelling to Rio in the summer and I am looking into Hang gliding while I am there, however all the websites I have come across are quoting me upwards of $150 per person! What company did you go with that you got it for so cheap( $10)!!

Thanks,
Chloe

Ha, I had no idea my footwear would be such a topic of conversation on this post! See my replies elsewhere — Tieks cling to your feet and there is NO WAY they were coming off!

Sweet about the photos in Cozumel though 🙂

Amazing!!! Your pictures are phenomenal and your leggings are super adorable. I think matching leggings was the only way to go! (I may or may not have followed the link to see what countries they have) I can’t believe they let you do it in flats, though. It’s a real bummer about the pictures. That nickel and dime-ing happened to me parasailing in Key West. On the flip side though… three days later in Cozumel, I paid for the GoPro pictures from our underwater oxygen bar excursion and was floored to discover the USB stick had 42 pictures on it! Their site advertised fewer than half that number included in the photo price. You never know what you’ll get, I guess!

In reply to Breanna. I literally think I need these pants for every new country I go to from now on. Now THAT would be a fun tradition ;)

In reply to Ian. Not sure what was up with that, but thanks for the heads up! Seems to be working again now!

I never knew about this the first time I was in Rio (I lacked experience knowing to research) the second time we had a tentative booking weather permitting. Sadly cloud cover in the mornings was a thing except for the day we had our city tour booked.
Also I need those pants!
