Rated 5.0 stars across 200+ Google and TripAdvisor reviews.

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.

Excellent care and drive with Diego

I was so glad I booked our transfer from La Fortuna to Manuel Antonio with Diego. He was communicative and professional from the time of booking, confirming everything and checking on our needs. He was friendly, kind, spoke great English, and made the long drive as pleasant as possible. I'd absolutely book again.

How is the drive from Puerto Jimenez (Osa Peninsula) to Manuel Antonio / Quepos?

The drive from Puerto Jiménez on the remote Osa Peninsula to Manuel Antonio is a roughly 4.5-hour journey up Costa Rica's southern Pacific coast. You leave the rainforest of the Osa — the gateway to Corcovado National Park — cross to the Chacarita junction, then follow the scenic Costanera Sur coastal highway north past Uvita and Dominical to the beaches of Manuel Antonio and Quepos.

What can you see between Puerto Jimenez (Osa Peninsula) and Manuel Antonio / Quepos?

Golfo Dulce and the Osa Peninsula rainforest — gateway to Corcovado National Park

Chacarita junction — the doorway on/off the peninsula

Uvita & Marino Ballena National Park (the famous 'Whale Tail' beach)

Dominical — a laid-back Pacific surf town

Long scenic stretches of the Costanera Sur coastal highway

Quepos & Marina Pez Vela, next to Manuel Antonio

How are the road conditions from Puerto Jimenez (Osa Peninsula) to Manuel Antonio / Quepos?

Fully paved the whole way. The quieter rural road across the Osa Peninsula joins the well-maintained Costanera Sur (Highway 34) coastal highway at Chacarita for most of the drive.

Traveler Tip

Leave Puerto Jiménez with a full tank and any snacks you want — services on the Osa are limited. The mid-drive stop near Uvita or Dominical is a great spot to stretch and catch your first big Pacific views.

Is the shuttle from Puerto Jimenez (Osa Peninsula) to Manuel Antonio / Quepos family-friendly?

Free child seats (infant, convertible, booster) are included. It's a long drive for little ones, so we build in a rest stop — just tell us ages at booking and we'll have the right seats ready.

Budget breakdown

One flat price per vehicle — $330 for 1-5 passengers — not per person. For families or small groups it's far cheaper than a domestic flight plus separate transfers, and it's door-to-door with no connections.

About travel times

Google Maps sometimes suggests a mountain route via San Isidro. Our drivers take the coastal Costanera Sur — flatter, more scenic, and usually faster.

Is the shuttle from Puerto Jimenez (Osa Peninsula) to Manuel Antonio / Quepos available 24/7?

We run this route at any hour for early Corcovado departures or late arrivals. Night driving on the Costanera is safe with our professional drivers, though daytime lets you enjoy the coastal scenery.

Local insider tip

If you have time, ask your driver about a short stop at the Uvita 'Whale Tail' viewpoint in Marino Ballena National Park — one of the most photographed spots on the southern Pacific coast.
