I booked a half hour flight along the coast. Not having done this sort if thing before and not having a great head for heights I was a tad nervous beforehand. None of this mattered as the flight is quite a gentle experience. The plane is a bit like a toboggan, with the passenger sitting in the back. Take off... More

I did this tour back earlier this year. We were just planning our next trip and planning to do this again, so I thought I should write a review (sorry Georg & Carlos) We were staying in Dominical and drove to the landing strip where we were met by Carlos. I decided that I was going to do the 40... More

Fantastic trip,Expert Pilot Georg, I have been to Costa Rica several times and I am so glad that I finally took this great trip. You have no idea how beautiful this country is untill you experience an Ultralight tour. My flight was down the coast from Dominical to Coranado and Whale watching on the way back. Wow seeing the Humpbacks... More

Georg (pilot) and Carlos (apprentice) are the most friendly folks I have ever met. These guys love to fly. Georg has a passion for flying and Costa Rica and loves to share this excitement with you. Our group had gone ziplining with Osa Canopy Tours the day before and my wife has a bad wrist and couldn't join us, so... More

No words can describe the feeling of being a few hundred feet in the air taking in all the sights of beautiful southern Costa Rica. I took the 90 minute flight with pilot Georg($235 at the time) which took me from Uvita north over Dominical, up to Playa Matapalo, and then back. As you can see from my photo's, the... More

My husband and I each elected the 1 hour 'plan your own' flight w/ Georg. We felt totally safe with him as he's been flying since he's been in his early twenties. We cruised the Costa Rican shoreline and got tons of pics! We got great shots of the Whale's tail, sea caves, dolphins, mangroves, etc. I really didn't think... More

I have never experienced anything like the excitement of this open cockpit flight and the unsurpassed beauty of this area. The open plane and the pilot seemed very safe and secure, and I will return for a longer flight next time I vacation in this area, which I hope is very soon.

The trip is awsome, 20-25 minutes of exiting adventure. You can see the uvita whale tail, roca ballena island, several beaches. It's an experience you'll never forget.
