Absolutely brilliant transfer company. Diego was incredibly easy and efficient to deal with. Very comfortable cars and delightful drivers who were incredibly prompt. Made our trip seamless and I can't recommend them highly enough.

Our experience with Private Travel Costa Rica was exceptional from start to finish. We used their service for multiple transfers, including from San Juan airport to La Fortuna, between locations in La Fortuna, and from Tamarindo to Liberia International Airport. Every driver was amazing—on time, flexible, and extremely professional. The responsiveness of the entire team made coordinating our travel seamless and stress-free. We highly recommend them for any transportation needs in Costa Rica.

We used this company for transfers from La Fortuna to San Manuel Antonio and then from San Manuel Antonio to San Jose. I cannot say enough about the professionalism of the company and both the drivers, as well as the cleanliness of the vans. Communication was almost immediate. Our drivers Oscar and Carlos arrived a few minutes early, were highly professional, and super friendly and warm. There was wifi in the van which was much appreciated. All in all, both experiences were excellent. I cannot recommend this company enough. I will definitely use them again for transfers when we are back in CR.

Our private shuttle from Jaco to Sierpe covers the trip in roughly 4h, with pickup right at your door and no shared stops. You'll leave behind an energetic surf-and-nightlife beach town and arrive at Sierpe, a quiet river gateway to the Osa Peninsula known for Rio Sierpe mangroves and Sierpe river dock (boats to Drake Bay). Every trip includes a modern air-conditioned vehicle, free WiFi and bottled water, complimentary child seats on request, and flight tracking when an airport is involved, all for one flat price of $310 per vehicle rather than per person.
This trip follows the Costanera Sur (Route 34), the fully-paved coastal highway that hugs Costa Rica's southern Pacific shoreline. Expect smooth driving with ocean glimpses, river crossings and lush rainforest the whole way.

Because it is private, you travel only with your own group, and we provide free infant, toddler and booster seats on request, just tell us your children's ages when you book.
