About this experience

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

Private transport removes the hassle and stress of navigating on your own, while still being flexible with your travel schedule. Another nice feature of our private transport is that it allows one hour of free wait time for the journey, giving your group opportunities to pose for photographs, take bathroom breaks, or enjoy a meal.

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