Return charter from UPL on your schedule — AeroRide flies when you do.
The Nosara–Upala corridor connects Nosara Airport (NOB) with Upala Airport (UPL). By road the journey runs to hours — often across mountainous or unpaved interior. An AeroRide private charter covers it in 35 min, gate to gate, on the schedule you choose rather than a fixed timetable.
The whole aircraft is $1,130 — that price already includes the round-trip positioning of the aircraft, FBO access at both ends, meet-and-greet coordination and all luggage handling. With 5 aboard that is about $226 each. No commercial queues, no check-in counters, no gate lines.
Nosara Airport sits in Nicoya Peninsula, 5 min to Nosara / Playa Guiones. The runway is 1000m of asphalt and the airport operates 6am-5pm.
Upala Airport serves Northern Plains. 40 min to Río Celeste. The runway is 1200m of asphalt, and the airport operates 6am-5pm.

About 35 min, direct. The private charter flies gate to gate with no connections — a fraction of the overland time.
