Experience one of the most breathtaking highlights of your trip to San José, Costa Rica, with this unique and scenic private helicopter tour over either the spectacular Poás Volcano or Irazú Volcano, located within the Central Volcanic Mountain Range. This unforgettable aerial adventure offers incredible views of Costa Rica’s volcanic landscapes, rainforests, and city highlights from above.
Fly over the impressive Poás Volcano, one of the most important attractions near San José, and admire its enormous crater — considered one of the largest in the world — measuring 1.5 kilometers (0.9 miles) in diameter and approximately 300 meters (900 feet) deep. Surrounded by lush rainforest, the summit features the beautiful volcanic lagoon Laguna Botos, whose deep blue waters create a stunning contrast against the dense tropical forest.
Alternatively, discover the majestic Irazú Volcano, famously known as “El Coloso” (The Colossus) due to its powerful volcanic history. As the highest active volcano in Costa Rica, Irazú features several craters, including Diego de la Haya, a striking green crater lake with varying depths. On clear days, visitors may even enjoy the rare opportunity to view both the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans from the summit area.
Witness incredible volcanic activity from the sky, including geysers, fumaroles, sulfur sediments, and the stunning emerald-colored lagoons within the volcano craters. Capture spectacular photos while enjoying an informative narrated flight with the pilot. Headsets are provided for communication throughout the approximately 1-hour helicopter ride. The experience can accommodate up to 6 passengers, with a maximum of 3 passengers per helicopter.
Before reaching the volcanoes, enjoy a scenic sightseeing flight over San José City and some of its most iconic attractions, including The Congress, National Museum, Parque Morazán, National Theatre, Central Park & Cathedral, La Sabana Park, and the National Stadium, along with other capital city highlights. After the experience, relax as you return to your hotel.
