TANDEM PARAGLIDing

A tandem flight in Jaco for one passenger costs $160USD plus local IVA tax

Each flight is between 10-15 minutes. Our pilots always aim to fly with you for 15 minutes but it can vary slightly in length based on the weather and wind conditions.

The total tour time is approximately 2.5 hours (based on 6 passengers flying) from the pick-up at the Zion Paragliding Kiosk meeting point, to return to the same place. Whilst we try to keep within this time frame, sometimes it can take a little longer if we have to wait for the wind cycles or less time if the tour is not fully booked.

We meet all our clients for tandem paragliding in Jaco at the Zion Paragliding Kiosk unless we have arranged an alternative pick-up location with you or a private tour. From wherever we meet you, we ride up in our shuttle vehicle to the take-off.

The take-off is located at the Neo Jaco Sky Way, formally known as Las Terrezas. It’s just a 10-minute ride in the car from the meeting point.

Yes, all our pilots are certified tandem pilots from their national certifying body or APPI and have many years of experience as professional pilots.

We recommend wearing footwear you can easily run a few steps in (and that won't fall off once airborne), a small bottle of water and sun protection. All of the paragliding and safety equipment is provided by us.

It's best to leave any big bags at your accommodation or in a safe place. There is a compartment for small bags and day packs in the harness but we prefer you to come with as little luggage as possible.

Yes. Our pilots will take about 20 photos and 2-3 videos throughout your flight. These will be available for you to purchase once you have landed. Your pilot will show you your photos on a tablet prior to purchase.

Our photo service costs $30 (USD) per passenger and you will receive all your pictures in a high-quality transfer directly to your phone on the day.

You can bring your phone and camera with you but you fly with it at your own risk. Our harnesses are equipped with a zipper compartment to safely store your cameras, phones and other valuable items.

Yes, for safety reasons we can't take passengers under 20kg or over 120kg (45-240lbs)

If our calendar is showing limited availability when you book or there are not enough spaces for your entire group, contact us and we will be happy to do what we can to accommodate you and/or your party.

In Jaco, you will land in the big grassy fields directly below the take-off. The open area creates smooth wind for an easy landing.

There is site parking at the meeting point next to our kiosk. Whilst the parking does not have a security guard, we consider it a safe area to park your car. However, please don’t leave valuables in your vehicle and any luggage should be securely stored in the trunk of the car and out of sight.

Anyone is welcome to come to the take-off but we cannot guarantee space in our shuttle for those who are not flying with us. Spectators are wlecome to follow up in their own vehicle if it is suitable for the mountain roads.

We offer group pricing for groups of 5 or more. Please contact us for groups.

If you paid a deposit, the remaining balance is payable on the day by either cash or card only. Our system does not store card details to charge automatically for any remaining balance.
