Private helicopter ride over volcanoes, jungles, and the ocean
GOLDEN FLIGHT
Private helicopter tours over key regions of Costa Rica. Each route offers a distinct destination: volcanoes, tropical forests, coastline, or islands.
From the air, the country is perceived differently: the coastline, volcanic terrain, and dense jungle combine to create a holistic picture.
This is not a standalone excursion, but rather part of a route—an experience that enhances the journey and offers a different level of perception.
The flight is tailored to your itinerary and seamlessly integrates seamlessly.

Encountering whales in their natural habitat
TO THE SHORES OF WHALES
You're drawn to the ocean—and for good reason.
Every year, humpback whales come to the coast of Costa Rica to mate, give birth, and spend the first months of their lives with their calves. During this period, the ocean becomes the site of rare and vibrant encounters.
Format
An ocean cruise on a private boat along the coast with the opportunity to watch whales in their natural habitat.
- Duration: 4 hours
- Start time: 2:00 PM (with sunset)
- Format: Private experience
Details and pricing
Price: from $1,600 per boat
- Coastal cruise
- Open ocean sunset
- Whale watching available during season
Important
Whale sightings occur in the wild—encounters with whales are not guaranteed, but the likelihood is high during the season
This isn't just a trip out into the ocean. This is a rare opportunity to be close to whales as they arrive at the shores of Costa Rica
The host
There is a difference between organizing a trip and curating an experience people remember for life.
I live in Costa Rica — not as a visitor, but as someone who knows its rhythm, its hidden routes, and the places that don’t exist on maps.
Over the years, I’ve moved from being a traveler to becoming the person who creates journeys for others — journeys that feel effortless, safe, and deeply alive.
My approach is simple:nremove everything unnecessary,
keep only what truly matters.
keep only what truly matters.
No rushed schedules. No crowded. No compromises on comfort or experience.
Just carefully designed days, real connection with nature,
and a sense of calm that stays long after the journey ends.
and a sense of calm that stays long after the journey ends.
Each group I host is small, intentional, and personal.
People arrive as strangers — and leave as something more.

If you choose to travel with me, you are not booking a tour.
You are stepping into a space where everything has already been thought through.
