Private helicopter flights can connect destinations and selected landing locations across the country in a fraction of the time, often turning a half-day drive into a flight of less than an hour.

More Than a Flight — a Door-to-Door Arrival
With more than 10 years of aviation experience in Costa Rica, our team specializes in private helicopter charters connecting travellers directly with the places they're going. A helicopter doesn't need a runway, so the landing point isn't an airport an hour from your hotel — it's the resort lawn, the lodge helipad, the beach clearing.
Adventure Air combines local aviation knowledge with personalised service to coordinate helicopter transfers, scenic flights over volcanoes and coastline, and connections to resorts, national parks and remote corners of the country that no fixed-wing aircraft can reach. You choose the route, the departure time and how long you linger over the view.
