How do I get to your heliport?

You can find us in google maps, as “Adventure Air Helicopters”. For those arriving on a rental car there is free parking outside our office. We can also pick you up from the airport or your hotel for an additional small fee.

There are two of us and want to do a tour but we understand there is a minimum of 4 passengers ?

Only 1 or 2 of you but the minimum is 4 passengers? No worries! We do have options, when you make your reservation we can accommodate you with other 2 or 3 passengers, but your confirmation will be subject to the minimum required or we will have to re-schedule you. You also have the option to pay for 2 additional seats and make it private to ensure this flight will be scheduled at the time you want.

I am a single traveler; how can I join a tour?

If you are travelling on your own, please contact us through email to let us know the dates you are available to join a tour and we will do our best to pair you together with another group!!

When is the best time to book?

We suggest that you book your helicopter flight prior to your arrival in Costa Rica. This assures you of a tour time that fits into your vacation plans. It’s also wise to book your tour for the early part of your stay. That way if your pilot determines that weather conditions on a particular day are not optimal for a tour, you will have some options for re-scheduling!

Are we going to see the craters of the volcano?

The Volcano Adventure Tour is highly subject to weather conditions. Rincon de la Vieja is an active volcano and the conditions in the volcano change hourly, . Odds are good that you will see the volcano, but no particular sight can be guaranteed. If the weather conditions are not ideal for the tour and the craters are completely covered by clouds, the pilot will take you on a beach tour of our beautiful coast. We never had someone come back disappointed!!

Does Adventure Air offer flights that are not primarily for scenic viewing?

Yes. We are a charter company, and we also offer transportation to golfers, hikers, and travelers who want to avoid bumpy roads, and get to your destination fast and then you can take it slow!!. We will fly you where you want to go, at whatever time you prefer, provided our equipment and personnel are available.

What should we wear?

Wear whatever is comfortable for you. If you are going to take pictures, darker colors are better because it reduces the chance of reflections in your photos.

Which tours include a landing (besides the heliport landing) ?

We only land on the one-day Tours, where you can spend from 3 to 5 hours at your destination. Those tours are: The Borinquen Experience, The Rio Perdido Adventure, and the Arenal one day tour. To make your reservation contact directly our reservation department at sales@flyadventureair.com

Will we be the only ones in the helicopter? How is seating arranged?

Unless you charter the complete helicopter, you will be sharing the flight with other guests. We try to seat couples and families side-by-side as much as possible. We cannot guarantee particular seating as it is often dictated by the weight and balance of the helicopter.

Are we guaranteed to see all of the sights mentioned in your tour descriptions?

The points of interest mentioned in our tour descriptions are highlights of the tour, which we always do our best to show you depending on wind and weather conditions.

Who will guide our way?

Our pilots are locals so they know this place like the back of their hand. Your pilot will be your personal guide, and they love when you ask lots of questions!

How much experience do your pilots have?

All pilots for Adventure Air Helicopters are highly experienced. In fact, we believe that this is the most experienced group of helicopter tour pilots anywhere in Costa Rica. All of them have more than 20 years of experience.
