Q: Can I fly directly to Drake Bay / Bahía Drake?

Yes. Drake Bay is one of the most remote and pristine destinations in Costa Rica, located on the Osa Peninsula near Corcovado National Park. Aerocaribe can fly you directly to the Drake Bay airstrip in approximately 45–55 minutes from San José. This is far more comfortable than the 6–8 hour overland and boat journey most travelers endure.

Q: How can I get to Tortuguero without a boat?

Tortuguero is one of Costa Rica's most iconic but inaccessible destinations — there are no roads in. A private charter flight with Aerocaribe is the fastest and most comfortable way to reach this magical wildlife corridor on the Caribbean coast. The flight from San José takes approximately 30–40 minutes, replacing what would otherwise be a multi-hour boat-and-bus combination.

Q: How long does it take to fly from San José to Manuel Antonio / Quepos?

A private charter flight from Tobías Bolaños Airport in San José to Quepos takes approximately 25–35 minutes. By car, the same trip takes 3–4 hours. Flying with Aerocaribe saves you an entire half day of travel, giving you more time to enjoy Costa Rica's stunning Pacific beaches and world-class Manuel Antonio National Park.

Q: Where can Aerocaribe fly me in Costa Rica?

Aerocaribe serves all of Costa Rica's major and remote destinations, including: Manuel Antonio / Quepos (Pacific beaches and national park), Nosara (surf paradise and wellness retreat), Tamarindo (world-famous surf and nightlife), La Fortuna / Arenal Volcano (adventure and hot springs), Tortuguero (wildlife and Caribbean canals), Limón (Caribbean coast), Bahía Drake (remote rainforest and whale watching), Santa Teresa (surf, yoga, and luxury), and Puerto Jiménez (gateway to Corcovado National Park). Most destinations are reachable in under one hour.

Q: How does Aerocaribe offset its carbon emissions?

We meticulously calculate the carbon footprint of each flight and invest in certified projects to neutralize those emissions. Our investments include reforestation projects (which also protect Costa Rica's biodiversity), renewable energy development, and energy efficiency programs. These projects not only reduce emissions but support sustainable development in local Costa Rican communities.

Q: What is the A-CO2 Anaconda Carbon Program?

The A-CO2 Anaconda Carbon Program is an environmental certification initiative in which Aerocaribe participates to offset greenhouse gas emissions generated by our flights. For every qualifying project we invest in — including reforestation, renewable energy, and energy efficiency — we receive a carbon offset certificate. This program demonstrates our commitment to fighting climate change while providing world-class air travel.

Q: Is Aerocaribe environmentally responsible?

Yes. Aerocaribe is committed to sustainable aviation. We are an active participant in the A-CO2 Anaconda Carbon Program, a formal initiative to offset our carbon footprint and move toward carbon neutrality. For each flight, we assess our environmental impact and invest in certified carbon offset projects.

Q: What certifications does Aerocaribe hold?

Aerocaribe is fully certified and licensed by Costa Rica's civil aviation authority (DGAC). We operate our own Certified Aircraft Maintenance Center, ensuring our fleet meets all airworthiness standards.
