What travelers say about La Paz Waterfall Gardens → La Fortuna (Arenal)
Rated 5.0 stars across 200+ Google and TripAdvisor reviews.
My daughter and I had a fantastic experience with Diego! He took us to Poas volcano and La Paz Waterfall Gardens for the day. He suggested taking us to the Starbucks plantation since we had some extra time before our scheduled entry at Poas. The location and store were gorgeous and gave us the opportunity to see the landscape and waterfall and enjoy delicious coffee before heading to our planned destinations. Diego guided us through the Poas and La Paz with expert navigation and incredible knowledge of the sites and even the animals we viewed at La Paz. Diego was so much fun too! We absolutely loved the experience. I’m grateful we enjoyed the experience so much and also made a new friend! Carmela & Emily

Exceptional, Professional, and Reliable Private Transfers Across Costa Rica!
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.

Professional and Reliable
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.
