We hired Nick Crane to be our guide in CR. Nick's been travelling to CR for years and has the place totally wired. He's also an instructor, a tandem dude, a Chiropractor, and very importantly, he has the essential four wheel drive vehicle that's required to get to the top of the jungle flying sites.
Nick did a great job, especially considering that our diverse little group consisted of me, a P4, Kat, a P2 that hadn't flown in 12 months or more, and Chloe, a teenager with a lot more interests than just jumping off of cliffs and mountains. Flying was the main focus of the trip, and Nick got us as much airtime as we wanted, but he also made sure that we stayed in nice hotels, ate great food, toured the rain forest by horseback, foot, and zip line, saw the crocodiles, sloths, monkeys, and exotic birds, and had plenty of time to play on the beach. He also helped Kat a bunch with her kiting and flying by giving her private lessons and even took Chloe on a tandem flight.
I think Nick has a great little niche in the paraglider adventure travel biz. While most tour operators cater to big air pilots, Nick's CR tour is perfect for recreational pilots and families that want to do more than just crank and bank in the strong stuff. Thanks Dr. Nick!
