Private Transportation
Private Transfers are just that! A large mini-van just for you and your family and friends that leaves at a time of your choice day or night. Stops and detours can be made according to your needs.
We use 15 passenger mini-vans, however we only take a maximum of 10 people per minibus for reasons of comfort. If your group is larger than 10 people a 25 passenger bus can be arranged.
All minibuses are late model (2002 and above) Toyota, Nissan or Hyundai vehicles which meet and exceed safety regulations and must pass a transportation safety board inspection twice a year. Drivers have a minimum of 2 years experience in tourist transportation and have passed all the Costa Rican Bureau of Transportation's safety and public relations courses required by law.
Shuttle Transportation
Shuttle transportation is a cheaper alternative to a private transfer as it is shared with others. Shuttles pick up at specific times in the day, usually either once or twice daily and you may stop at several hotels in the pick up location as well as in the drop off location.
Rates are per person and if you are a larger group you will often be better off with a private transfer. For one or two people traveling a shuttle transfer will usually be your best option.
