Highlights
  • Katto Sky Tours - From Jaco Beach, we will head to the Las Terrazas takeoff just 10 minutes from downtown Jaco.

On this aerial paragliding tour, you will fly over the highest peak of Jaco Bay. Being a secondary rainforest, with trees over 300 years old, you will be able to enjoy this breathtaking scenery at 1,500 feet (and try to go higher). You will be able to see Hermosa beach, Herradura beach and of course Jaco beach.

On this aerial tour, we only use mother earth to go up in the air and feel the silence as we climb in the thermals flying along with many other species of wildlife. The mid-pacific coast of Costa Rica, the tropical forests below the views, and the calm you will feel in the air will make this tour an unforgettable experience for a lifetime.

This is the best flying site in Jaco (and one of the best in all of Costa Rica, if not the best) as the flying conditions allow us to climb higher and faster than the other sites. It is also the closest to the beach.

Even better than skydiving - This was so much fun! Drifting amongst the birds while slowly floating back to Earth was so exhilarating, yet so peaceful. Everyone was so nice and professional. I felt very comfortable as my equipment was quadruple checked to ensure my safety. I would highly recommend this activity and look forward to doing it again the next time I'm in Costa Rica!

Great Experience - Great experience. The team was very kind and patient and wanted to make sure we had a good experience. They noticed my wife was a little nervous and changed her equipment to make it easier for her. I would highly recommend this experience (and I have a fear of heights).

Great activity - It was the first time I tried the paragliding activity. It was wonderfull! Definitly I will do it another time. Marvin made the experience very good, one moment I was touching the ground the next I was up in the air. Then it was only pure joy to see the forest, the ocean and the birds from the air. Thanks a lot Marvin and Xavi!

Worth every penny - Awesome tour. Opted to get a pickup at the condo. Drive to the site was quick. Once at the start point we got back in the truck and drove to the launch site and pretty quickly the guys had everything set up and ready to go. Everyone there was very experienced and made the process very easy. The launch process was explained and then we were flying. Lasted about 15 minutes and it was great. Felt very safe and the views were stunning.

INCREDIBLE EXPERIENCE - This was a spectacular experience! The staff was extremely lovely and took care of us very well. They made sure we were all comfortable and extra safe. It’s a 15 minute ride in the sky and the view is absolutely breathtaking! It’s a once in a lifetime experience and definitely worth your time if you’re in Costa Rica!

Most Care Free and Relaxing Experience Ever - Paragliding is my all time favorite activity and doing it for just the second time in Jaco did not disappoint. While most people consider paragliding a "thrill sport", in my opinion it is the exact opposite. Instead it is the least thrilling and the most relaxing thing that I have ever done and also has made me feel more care free than ever before. There is something just so magical about floating high up in the sky and getting a marvelous 360 view of all the surrounding green hills, Jaco and the ocean. Being able to fly over all of this with a birds eye view is just indescribably blissful and a must do! As I said I have never felt so care free and there is absolutely no activity that can replicate the wonders of paragliding. And it is not scary at all in any way whatsoever. You have a professional pilot flying for you so you can just relax and see the world in a way like no other. Doing it in Jaco is also less scary compared to most other places as you don't have to run down a hill. Instead takeoff is done by running on flat ground while attached by rope to a car that is pulling you up in the air. Once off the ground they detach the rope and you are free. Take off is laughably simple and you really have nothing to worry about. Such an amazing experience all around.. Everyone there was so nice and made my day. The day before they texted me to confirm the booking and told me where to go and how to get there (Uber). I am so glad I did this and it was definitely one of the highlights of my experience volunteering in Costa Rica, courtesy of MareBlu.
