Some of my guests have gone to São Conrado to do hang gliding from the mountains and over the beach. It is great fun, and safer than it looks. They recommend one guide, Gui Gama, http://www.vooduplodeasadelta.com.br/ You can either take the metro to São Conrado, and then take a taxi, or take a taxi/Uber from Copacabana to São Conrado: the road by the sea has good views. Somewhat expensive (R$550, last time I checked.)
