Highlights
  • Costa Rica Paragliding. - 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.

Gliding above paradise - I went paragliding with Katto Sky Tour with my family (husband, 26, 11, and 2-year old). The trip was first rescheduled due to the weather. Safety is paramount at Katto Sky Tours. We trusted their judgment. We ended up going on our last day in Costa Rica and it was EPIC! As we glided above paradise, all I could think was how blessed we are to be here together. My 2-year old was strapped to the front of me. They triple checked our harnesses and made us feel comfortable. When we gracefully landed, my 2-year old immediately exclaimed, “I want to go flying again!!” My 11-year old went solo and said it was the highlight of our trip. It was the perfect end to our Costa Rica adventure.

10/10 recommend - The experience was unreal! The sights are beyond beautiful. We encountered 2 king vultures during my flight and flew with them for a bit which honestly was amazing! I regret not getting the video recording so do yourself the favor & purchase the add on. The Katto sky team is great, good energy, good people easy to connect with. 10/10 recommend don't miss out.

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).
