Choosing the right outfit makes a difference in both comfort and safety during your helicopter tour in Rio de Janeiro. See what to wear to enjoy every minute of the flight without worries.

Ideal clothing for the tour

Choose lightweight clothing that fits close to the body. Loose or oversized pieces may move with the wind during boarding and the flight, causing discomfort.

Recommended footwear

Wear closed shoes that fit securely on your feet. Sandals, flip-flops, or loose shoes are not recommended for safety reasons.

Accessories: what to avoid

Caps, hats, scarves, and loose accessories should be avoided or stored before takeoff, as they may be carried away by the wind from the rotor blades.

Hot days vs. cool days in Rio

On warmer days, lightweight and breathable fabrics are ideal. On cooler days, a fitted jacket keeps you comfortable without compromising safety.
