Important Info
Paragliding is a sport 100% dependent on weather conditions, we work with nature and your flight is not powered by an engine. For that reason, the duration of your flight will be highly dependent on the weather conditions.
Meeting point
Your adventure begins in Playa Hermosa, where you can conveniently park your vehicle before we set off on an unforgettable experience. From there, we’ll prepare for the journey and travel approximately 17–20 minutes through the lush rainforest in one of our side-by-side vehicles (Mules) to reach Casa Jaguar, our exclusive self-sustainable mountain base.
Casa Jaguar is home to “La Ballena” Launch Site, a truly unique location offering breathtaking panoramic views of Marino Ballena National Park, the famous Whale’s Tail sandbar, the Pacific Ocean, and the surrounding mountains. Thanks to one of the most consistent microclimates in the region, this area provides excellent flying conditions throughout most of the year.
Before takeoff, you’ll have time to relax and enjoy Casa Jaguar’s facilities, including restrooms, a comfortable lounge area, Wi-Fi access, and all the amenities of a modern home nestled in nature.
Please allow approximately 90 minutes for the complete experience, including transportation, preparation, and flight time. Most tandem flights last between 15 and 25 minutes, depending on the weather conditions and flying opportunities on the day of your adventure.
After an unforgettable flight above Costa Ballena’s stunning coastline, we will land back at our meeting point in Playa Hermosa, where you can collect your vehicle and continue enjoying your day. Come experience Costa Rica from a whole new perspective and create memories that will last a lifetime.
