Operated by Bex Tandem Flights · Jaco, Puntarenas
The sun slants low over the Pacific and the air goes glassy — the kind of light that flattens distance and sharpens color. From a grassy ridge above Jaco Beach you and a certified tandem pilot step into a quiet swell; within seconds the shoreline retreats beneath you and the current of the sea becomes a visible ribbon, daring you to follow. At sunset the canopy frames Jaco’s tropical secondary forest, Herradura’s marina glinting like a pocket of coins, and the distant outline of the Guanacaste Peninsula pressing into the horizon.
easy.
1–2 hours.
Suitable for people in average physical condition who can jog a few steps at takeoff; not for those with serious back or heart issues.
The in-air time is about 20 minutes; plan for 1–2 hours total including briefing, gear, and transport.
Tandem flights are conducted by certified pilots using inspected gear; operators follow weather and health safety protocols, but disclose medical conditions beforehand.
Closed-toe shoes and layered clothing are best — it can be warm on the ridge but cooler once you’re aloft at sunset.
Operators usually have minimum and maximum weight limits and require age or guardian consent for minors; provide exact measurements when booking.
The Puntarenas coast was long used by indigenous groups and later became a corridor for fishing and small-scale trade; nearby towns grew with the rise of surf and tourism in the late 20th century.
Operators are encouraged to follow low-impact flight paths to minimize disturbance to wildlife and to support local conservation of coastal forests and beaches.
