This truly special transfer combines two forms of travel, ensuring not only a smooth journey but also a wonderful experience along the way. You'll enjoy a scenic boat ride through Tortuguero's fascinating waterways, followed by a comfortable minibus ride to the airport or your accommodation in San José.
The motorboat departs from the central dock in Tortuguero at 10:20 AM. Guests staying at hotels located further away with their own private dock can also be picked up. First, the journey takes you through Tortuguero's idyllic waterways for approximately one hour – and with a bit of luck, you might even spot some wildlife along the way.
Upon arrival at La Pavona dock, you’ll transfer to a comfortable minibus for the next part of your journey. The drive to Siquirres takes around one hour and 20 minutes and passes numerous banana plantations along the way. There will be a short stop in Siquirres, where you'll have the opportunity to purchase lunch (USD 12; vegetarian options are available).
Afterwards, you'll begin the final leg of your journey. The drive to San José, Costa Rica's vibrant capital, takes approximately two and a half to three hours, depending on road conditions and the location of your hotel. Once you arrive in San José, you'll be dropped off directly at your hotel.
Drop-off at the airport in Alajuela is also possible. However, please make sure to allow plenty of extra time! The shuttle normally arrives at the airport between 6:00 and 6:30 PM. However, delays can occur due to road closures, heavy traffic, or other unforeseen circumstances. We cannot accept responsibility for missed connecting flights. We therefore recommend spending one night in San José before your departure.
