Paragliding Paramotor Tandem Flights in Jaco
Description
Experience Costa Rica from a paraglider. You may choose between paragliding off the beach on a motorized paraglide or from a 300 meter high mountain top with a non-motorized paraglide. Some days the weather will decide which one of the 2 options is possible. After decades of Paragliding, we can show you amazing scenes and fly with vultures. We also design and manufacture Paramotors.

My group and I had this booked thru Viator. The company website stated $200/person and Viator had it at $250/person. The owner of this company stated that he charges $250 on Viator to ensure he gets $200 per flight. We had a group of 9 people. To save some money we wanted to pay him directly and he wanted cash in $100 bills. Easy. Day before the event took place, we asked for a meeting point and he said the meeting point was going to be at Maxi Pali on road 34. We had informed him that we do not have a car and will need to use Ubers. We get to the meeting point and we were under the impression that there would be several people taking us up into the air. No.. it was just one man. He then directs us to a random hill up a really dangerous road and our taxi driver did not want to drive up the hill. We get up the hill and this man unloads all his gear and then a group of people walk up to our guide to tell him that he can't launch from the top of the hill because they were actually the ones who owned the land. Our guide started strapping me in and arguing with this other company in front of our group. The other company stated that what he was about to do was very illegal and not professional at all. I started having a panic attack as i was about to be strapped in to a very skeptical situation. (We signed NO WAIVERS). The other company offered to take us up paragliding to get thru all 9 of us. What was only suppose to be an hour of fun turned into a 2 hour fiasco. I'm truly grateful the other company offered to take our group because we would not have been able to fly all of us with just ONE instructor. We ended up having a good time, but it was really stressful trying to get organized. This man did nothing to calm us down or reassure us that everything was okay. All he did was complain about the other company being stingy when we were in the air.
The other company manages the site poorly and i recommended to arrive around 11am for best flights and the group arrived 2 hours later. The site is now better and if we start at 11am we all have the best time. I have over 25 years in the business with a perfect safety record and love to provide quality flights
Misleading location. Wasn't off jaco cliffs. Misleading activity, lasted only 20 minutes didnt see much, took off and landed in someone else's property.
The duration depends on winds and the passenger's weight plus properties we use are perfect for this activity.
One day before the event, I asked about the exact meeting point and the organizer, as I had not received anything yet. Tripadvisor could not give me any information, even though I had booked through Tripadvisor. They only offered to refund my money. The event did not take place. We are extremely disappointed

I had a wonderful time today. I truly enjoyed being up high in the sky and looking around at this beautiful country. It was not scary at all. If anything it was very relaxing. I recommend this tour to couples and people of all ages.
This Paramotor activity was worth every dollars spent. the instructor was very friendly and funny. I loved landing on the beach
