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.

Traveler Tip

Nosara is a yoga and surf town with a slow vibe. Don't expect bright lights or bars — it's about beach, nature, and wellness. Great for couples and surfers, not for nightlife seekers.

Approximately 3 hours. The road becomes rural in the last section with some unpaved stretches. Our vehicles are suited for this terrain. Child seats included at no charge. One stop along the way.

Budget breakdown

Standard transfer is direct in 2.5 hours. Discovery option ($80 extra) lets you stop at Nicoya town to learn about Costa Rica's Blue Zone (one of the world's longevity hotspots) or detour to Playa Sámara for lunch. Worth it for first-timers.

About travel times

Google says 2h but realistically 2.5 hours with the gravel section. Avoid driving this route at night — wildlife crossings and poor lighting on the gravel stretch.

Local insider tip

Once in Nosara, head straight to Playa Guiones for sunset on your first day — it's the iconic Nosara beach. If you want a quieter spot, Playa Pelada is just north and usually empty.
