About this experience

Our daily shuttles offer a safe, convenient, and economical way to travel between the most popular destinations in Costa Rica.

Shuttle service is a shared transportation option in an air-conditioned minibus (or coaster) between popular destinations.

Shuttle routes operate daily, and in some cases there are multiple departure times throughout the day. However, shuttles are by no means a public bus.

All the vehicles used for shuttle transportation are air conditioned, well-maintained minibuses (passenger vans) driven by reliable and punctual Costa Rican bilingual professionals, who are eager to help you move safely around the country.

Enjoy your way with Free Wi-Fi inside the vans to share every adventure of your trip and our professional drivers will show you our amazing country!

What you'll see

For group sizes of one, two, and sometimes three people, shuttle service is a convenient and economical way to travel.

For nearly all the shuttle transportation routes, there is at least one stop along the way where passengers can stretch, use the facilities, and get a snack. In most cases, shuttle transport provides door-to-door service, picking passengers up at hotels in the starting destination and dropping them off at hotels in the final destination.

However, sometimes a particular hotel is located outside the area’s main hotel zone, and the shuttle will not provide this door-to-door service. In these cases, a taxi can take you and your group to the shuttle pickup location or your final hotel stop.
