PARAGLIDING

Discover a New High Above Paradise

Ever imagined flying like a bird, effortlessly gliding above mountains, valleys, and ocean waves? Our paragliding experience in Costa Rica makes that dream a reality. At Jaco Party Villas, we invite you to feel the wind beneath your wings and the thrill of soaring high above Costa Rica's lush tropical landscape.
From the moment you take off, you'll be treated to jaw-dropping panoramas of emerald jungles, rolling hills, and the glistening Pacific coastline. It's not just a tour—it's a feeling of pure freedom, adrenaline, and awe that you won't soon forget.

A View Like No Other

We've traveled the world, but there's truly nothing like flying above Jaco. The aerial views are out of this world—dense rainforests stretching to the horizon, hidden waterfalls cascading in the distance, and the coastline curving gently along the Pacific. You'll witness Costa Rica from a vantage point reserved for the most adventurous spirits.
Whether it's your first time or your fifth, paragliding in Costa Rica offers an ever-changing natural canvas. Birds of prey soar beside you, valleys bloom with vibrant greenery below, and the warm ocean breeze wraps around you. Every flight is a completely unique, once-in-a-lifetime experience.

Perfect for Every Traveler

You don't have to be a seasoned adrenaline junkie to enjoy paragliding. In fact, most of our guests are first-timers! Our tours are designed to be beginner-friendly and suitable for all fitness levels. All you need is a sense of adventure and a willingness to try something unforgettable.
Traveling with a group? Paragliding is the perfect activity for bachelor and bachelorette parties, birthday trips, and vacation crews looking to bond over a bold, shared experience. There's something magical about watching your friends launch into the sky one by one, their excited cheers echoing through the hills.

Meet Your Expert Instructors

We take your safety seriously. Our paragliding experiences are guided by professional, certified instructors who have years of experience in both flying and training. Before takeoff, you'll receive a friendly and thorough orientation that covers all the basics—how the gear works, what to expect during the flight, and how to relax and enjoy the moment.
You'll be flying tandem with your instructor, meaning they handle all the technical elements of the flight while you sit back and soak in the ride. Whether you want a smooth, scenic glide or a few thrilling turns and spirals, just let your guide know—we tailor each flight to your vibe and comfort level.
