Ballooning

Ballooning

The balloons will take you where only winged creatures play. With three options to choose from, we will make your adventure as unique as you like. No matter which option you select, we will rise along with the sun to view the picturesque countryside and jungle canopy from above.

You’ll experience first hand the thrill of rising over the treetops and looking down into the natural playground of monkeys. Drift slowly over villages, caress the tops of ancient trees, watch toucans and falcons soar a few feet below you while in the distance Arenal volcano gushes its fiery rock into a brilliant river. Share the experience of being a part of the working crew in the spirit of fun and discovery.

The hot air ballooning adventure is for everyone! You are not limited by age, size, strength or previous experience. Safety is a first concern always and each balloon is equipped with dual controls and complies with US Federal Aviation Administration regulations. Pilots are FAA licensed for commercial balloons.
