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.

Travel from Santa Teresa to Ocotal, a small crescent bay with exceptional diving, snorkeling, and dramatic rocky coastline. The journey takes you from the Nicoya Peninsula to the Guanacaste, showcasing Costa Rica's incredible landscape diversity. The journey takes approximately 4,5 H in our comfortable, air-conditioned vehicles.
Road from Cobano is now fully paved. Internal roads in Santa Teresa are mostly gravel. Short paved road from Playas del Coco, beautiful elevated approach with bay views.
Ocotal has some of the best shore diving in Guanacaste — the rocky reef starts right from the beach
Child seats included at no extra cost. Private vehicle with A/C, door-to-door service, and stops on request.
This private shuttle from Santa Teresa to Ocotal costs $385 for up to 6 passengers — that's just $96 per person for a group of 4. Compare that to individual taxi rides or shared shuttles with multiple stops. Private door-to-door service means no waiting, no extra stops, and your vacation time starts the moment you land. Want to extend the drive into a memorable day? Upgrade to our VIP transfer for $80 more — flexible stops along the way (scenic viewpoints, coffee farm, lunch in a local town — your call).
Google Maps may show a shorter time, but real driving conditions in Costa Rica are different. Plan for 4,5 H for this route. Traffic, construction, and road conditions can add time. Our drivers know Costa Rica's roads and always get you there safely and comfortably.
Our service operates around the clock with no night surcharges. Drivers are positioned for pickups at all hours, and the rate remains the same regardless of departure time.
Insider tip: Try to arrive at Ocotal in time for sunset — it's one of the best experiences in Costa Rica. Ask your driver for restaurant recommendations in the area — they know the hidden local gems that tourists usually miss.
