If you're looking, GO DO IT.
You will not regret it and Skydive Pura Vida is the spot to go jump. They take care to make your entire experience personal, and not just get you in and out.
They've got a ton of experience, they take great pictures and videos the whole way through, and it is all priced reasonably.
Shout out to Skydive Pura Vida for giving me an amazing first jump!!!! I'm hooked!

If I could rate higher than 5 stars I would. I am a fun jumper and I brought my friend for a tandem. The views were phenomenal but Manrique was even more amazing. We didn’t have transportation sorted for after the jump, but he insisted on driving us to a bus station (40 mins out of his way) so we could catch a ride to Jaco. Would recommend to anyone looking for a thrill with ocean views!

Skydrive offers the opportunity to enjoy the magic of Skydiving, which is an extreme experience and pure adrenaline, through free fall, at the same time I realized that our problems are so small and that life and our loved ones are the most important thing we have, beyond everything else...
It is an experience that must be done at least once in a lifetime!!!

This was my 4th time sky diving and it was the BEST drop zone I have ever seen. Our guides were awesome and so friendly. They even helped us reschedule some of our other tours we had planned that day because we were running behind

The whole crew out at Skydive Pura Vida are super cool. I was able to do my first strut hang. Since I was jumping solo, I wasn’t able to take a pic but the pilot was nice enough to do it for me! I want to thank everyone out there for making it a great experience. Pura Vida!

This adventure is incredible and I would do it a thousand times more!! Clen has a lot of experience and is very charismatic.
The pics and video are great!! Remember to bring a flash memory.
The only reason I don't give 5 stars is because you don't jump at all once but one by one and it takes too long to complete if your group is large. We were 6 and only 4 of us could jump the first day, the other 2 had to reschedule for another day (and it's a long drive from San Jose). This is because the weather changed around noon, it got too windy, which is something that cannot be controlled of course. But, if we would have started at 7am we all could have done it the same day… but we started jumping sometime around 8 or 8:30am… Overall the experience is great, just know that small groups are better.
A few recommendations:
-When you call to RSVP ask clearly about the number of people jumping that day if more than 4 or 5 you better pick another day. Also, the earlier the better.
-Ask them to send you the extensive paperwork you have to sing via email prior to your visit, so you don't waste valuable time when you arrive.
-Since you may spend the whole morning there, you better bring something to eat and drink. You can play with Gringo the pet dog to spend the time.
I am pretty sure the few aspects will be improved because Clen has a great attitude.
Please go and live this experience ASAP!!

If you're looking to jump for the first time or already experienced, Skydive Pura Vida is the best. My son and I were first time jumpers and this is the place to go. The location is awesome. Dave and Mike are professional and at the same time easy going, which makes you feel at ease. I have to admit I was extremely nervous when we got up there and it was time to jump out, but I will do it again because it was such an incredible experience! Thank you all for an unforgettable day!

There are many places in the world where one could go skydiving, but there is something uniquely special about being able to soar through the stunning views of volcanoes, oceans and rainforests of Costa Rica, feeling the warm air of the tropics rush past you at 10,000 feet at you while while being strapped to a incredibly skilled, prolific and professional skydiver. Clem, the instructor, was very thorough with our safety training and has perhaps one of the most accomplished skydiving careers in the field. My dive experience was magical, like flying! It was awesome that he also filmed our whole jump. Thank you again Clem for an beautiful experience that I shall never forget! I cannot wait to do it again! Pura Vida!

The limit for our equipment is 220 Lbs but there are other factors to consider such as body type to weight ratio. This must be determined on a case by case scenario.
I hope this helps with your question.
Thanks

We had a rented car, cost us about 40 USD plus fuel, otherwise you will need a taxi to get there cause I haven’t seen any public transportation that stop there. Have fun
