Unprofessional & Disorganized
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.
Response from the operator: 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

Disappointed
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.
Response from the operator: The duration depends on winds and the passenger's weight plus properties we use are perfect for this activity.

Already paid flight did not take place
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
Response from the operator: Flight duration depends on winds and the passenger's weight plus properties we use are perfect for this activity.

Beautiful Costa Rica!
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.

Why this scores 41

Paragliding Paramotor Tandem Flights in Jaco: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Jaco.
How much does Paragliding Paramotor Tandem Flights in Jaco cost?
+
Prices start at $250 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Jaco usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Paragliding Paramotor Tandem Flights in Jaco take?
+
Plan for about 1 hour from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Jaco is not rushed.
Is Paragliding Paramotor Tandem Flights in Jaco worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 41 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (3/5 across 5 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Jaco, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Paragliding Paramotor Tandem Flights in Jaco?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is Paragliding Paramotor Tandem Flights in Jaco suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 1-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Paragliding Paramotor Tandem Flights in Jaco?
+
Around 2 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Jaco can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Jaco and add a light layer if any part of the 1-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Paragliding Paramotor Tandem Flights in Jaco start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Jaco within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Jaco?
+
On Outty we rank every Jaco experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Arenal Volcano, La Fortuna Waterfall, Hot Springs Combo Tour with Lunch & Dinner, Jason Crocodile Tours, Jaco Beach Costa Rica Horseback Riding. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Jaco?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Jaco?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
