Scenic Costa Rica Helicopter Tours, Transfers and Charters

March 22, 2018 By Sammi 3 Comments

If you’re looking for a unique, once in a lifetime experience in Costa Rica, consider taking a scenic helicopter tour. Helicopter tours are becoming more popular as travelers are looking for a way to see the country from a perspective not many other people get to.

**Unfortunately Fly Adventure Air has closed permanently in 2021 but there are some other helicopter tours slowly opening up like VIP Heli Services**

Scenic Costa Rica Helicopter Tours

We did a coastal helicopter tour around the Papagayo Peninsula and Northern Guanacaste beaches. It was 30 minutes.

Coastal Tour

Their coastal tour goes around the Guanacaste coastline so you can see exactly where the province’s nickname of “Gold Coast” came from. You’ll fly around Bahia Culebra to Danta Beach and see Playas del Coco beach, Hermosa, Ocotal, the Gulf of Papagayo, Monkey Head and Tortuga Islands, Playa Matapalo (Riu Hotel) and all the hidden white sand beaches.

Sunset Tour

The sunset tour is the same as the coastal tour but during sunset. You get stunning views of the coast during “golden hour” and return to base under the sunset. This is a 30 minute tour.

We did the sunset tour in February and it was an awesome experience. I had never been in a helicopter before so I was a bit nervous but the pilot was very comforting and reassuring. Even though it was windy out, he piloted us as smooth as possible and I felt very safe.

Here are some photos from our flight. We saw some beaches we’d never seen before!

    Hello! We were saddened to hear that Adventure Air permanently closed. Is there another company in the Tamarindo area you recommend?

    Oh wow. You actually went on a helicopter while travelling 🙂

    Never thought about that.

    It seems affordable. I might actually try this at a different location 🙂
