National Park Guided Tours

Spa by the Hotel

Ultralight Tours

In contrast to other aerial disciplines ultralights are not considered free flight aircraft, they carry a small two or four rotor engine. Flying ultralights is a sport that unites the principals of aerodynamics in its most basic form, in other words: it is a simplified airplane.

The aircraft is built from a rigid aluminum structure where the pilot and passenger sit, it operates at very slow speeds and offers a high degree of safety. It might surprise you to know that an ultralight aircraft can resist more "g's" than a commercial aircraft. Flying ultralights takes us back in time, back to our roots.

Enjoy the thrill of an ultralight flight over the beaches and National Park of Manuel Antonio.

This sport is pretty new in the USA, but well loved in Europe. Find a gushing mountain stream, hike up to the source, find some waterfalls and dense jungle, then descend, with ropes and harnesses, into the water, splashing in the waterfalls, sitting and sliding down nature's water-smoothed boulders.

You get wet, and sweaty, and usually banged up and bruised a bit, but in the end there is a real sense of achievement.
