If you’re planning a trip to Costa Rica, booking with Robin is an absolute must! From start to finish, the experience felt first-class. Robin went above and beyond—making several stops along the way to point out wildlife, and even bringing his own telescope to give us a closer look at the incredible birds and animals. He ensured the ride was not only safe and smooth but also incredibly comfortable, arriving right on time with thoughtful touches like neck pillows, Wi-Fi, reclining seats, water, and more. Truly a standout experience!

Robin was fantastic! He picked us up from our hotel in La Fortuna exactly at the time we requested, stopped at a restaurant with an incredible view along the way, and dropped us off at our hotel in Tamarindo.
He answered all of our questions about Costa Rica and made the drive so enjoyable by providing water, snacks, blankets, and even karaoke! The trip flew by, and we couldn't have asked for a better experience. We would absolutely recommend Robin to anyone looking for a comfortable and reliable transfer.

A superb family experience with Robin. We highly recommend him. Everything was very well organized, exceeding our expectations, and he was very attentive to our needs.

We hired this car service from La Fortuna to Tamarindo. The driver was courteous and the van was very comfortable.

Robin is fantastic we booked with him from Liberia airport to La Fortuna, a day of tours, and then La fortuna to Tamarindo. He is very friendly, knowledgeable, timely, and provided amazing service! His van is very spacious and clean, he provided us water, karaoke, music of our choice, he let us use his telescope to stop and see sloths, monkeys, a tucan and even took us to the park in La fortuna to use his drone and to enjoy some local soda’s! Robin booked and transported us to the Mistico hanging bridges, took us on a hike of a Volcano Arenal. He also helped my fiancé plan a romantic wine tasting and meal pairing at Amor Arenal, that was phenomenal. He saved us serval dollars buy paying him to wash and fold our clothes, instead of the outrageous hotel price. We booked him multiple days so felt safe knowing we would see him the next day.
Just ask him his schedule, and stress free!
You need to book with Robin if you want to truly enjoy your trip and get the most out of your vacation. We will be using him and recommend him to everyone traveling to Costa Rica looking for safe and reliable transportation and trusted guide! We are glad to know that we now have a trusted friend in him!

We booked Robin to transfer us from La Fortuna to Tamarindo. He was very dependable. He also had great info and recommendations. We used him for other transfers as well. He stopped to show us animals and had along a karaoke setup for our enjoyment. Highly recommended!

Robin was amazing! I highly recommend choosing him over other shuttle drivers. His van was super clean, spacious and full of everything you need: tons of leg room, blankets, water, a scope for seeing wildlife, a karaoke machine, and more! Robin was super friendly, on time, drove safely, and he was very knowledgeable about things we passed along the way. He made our long four hour ride not seem that long. Wonderful experience!

Booking Robin to take us from La Fortuna to Tamarindo was the best travel decision I made. He was so friendly, helpful, and right on time. He communicated throughout our trip to ensure everything went smoothly. He pointed out wildlife and gave us great information about the country and what makes it so special. His shuttle had everything you could need to make the journey enjoyable. Thank
You so much Robin. I highly recommend him for anyone traveling in Costa Rica.

A great experience all around. Very nice and comfortable shuttle and driver Robin is extremely accommodating and engaging. WiFi on board and stops when we wanted them. My daughter got sick and Robin was very helpful through that. I will seek Robin out next time CR for all our travels.

Robin is an excellent driver who went above and beyond to take care of our family. When my daughter wasn't feeling well during the ride, Robin provided what was necessary to make her feel comfortable--neck pillow, blanket, water, let some fresh air in which made her sleep and instantly feel better. Robin was more willing to make several stops for us when we decided to do a little sightseeing on the way to Tamarindo. He carried his telescope along everywhere we stopped so the kids can see animals when he spotted them. He is also very honest, when we made a stop to get lunch, we were going to buy him lunch but he made sure we were aware that the restaurant offered free/discounted meals for drivers/tour guides who took guests/tourists to the restaurant. Overall, really good experience. I would hire Robin again when we are back in Costa Rica.

Robin met us at our hotel and got us set up the a private guide (also awesome, hey Vinezio!!). Robin stopped and pointed out howler monkeys, sloths, toucans and brought his telescope with him so we could get great photos for the ones that weren’t super close. Robin also hooked us up with a night tour with a professional guide, and then took us to Vinezio’s family restaurant for dinner. OMG
Then Robin and Nathan took us from La Fortuna to Tamarindo. Via Llano Waterfalls hike and swim. We had the best 3 days with Robin!! If you want to meet a new family member, Robin is him. His family is wonderful and genuine. We cannot wait to get back to CR and see Robin (and family) again. 10 star review.
Lucas_D, Feb 2025
Amazing!!! More than transportation, but a great experience. Came to CR with a group of friends, which we are all loud and have high energy and Robin was nothing but amazing. Robin took us on two long trips from Liberia to La Fortuna then La Fortuna to Tamarindo. The van was very clean had great A/C and was stocked with water, neck pillows, and blankets. Robin is very informative, kind and makes you feel comfortable like family. He shared so much information with us along with us asking him a million questions about CR and his life.
The road to La Fortuna can be very bumpy and windy, so be prepared for that if you get motion sickness. Robin is willing to stop to sightsee, shop, get food, and take excursions. He was a huge part of our trip and we were all sad that we had to end our journey with him. Highly recommend!!!!
Claire_D, Jan 2025
Robin is amazing! Not only was he a great driver, he was a great tour guide as well! He would tell us about each of the neighborhoods we drove through, stopped at a waterfall for an adventure along the way, and made plenty of stops for food, bathrooms, etc. whenever we needed (and doubled as a personal photographer)! Right when I booked this trip, Robin was responsive in coordinating pickup times and excursions for the journey. Would give 10 stars if possible!
Nicole_H, Dec 2024
It was excellent; the van was very comfy. Water, blankets, and neck pillows we’re available for use. Robyn the driver was very friendly very personable. He provided us lots of information about Costa Rica and even was polite enough to stop and help us find various souvenirs that we wanted. This is a must use tour option.
Nick_T, Jul 2024
Robin is fantastic. His commentary and info made this ride feel more like a family road trip than a shuttle ride. The shuttle was clean with strong AC and WiFi.

Robin isn't just a way from point A to point B; he quickly became family. We absolutely fell in love with Robin on our trip from La Fortuna to Tamarindo. He personalized the trip so much for us, reaching out in advance to see what we might want to do along the way. He ended up bringing us to swim in a waterfall which was so secluded and stunning and to a sloth tour that ended us being just the tour guide and us so it was very personal. We saw sloths, tucans, motmots, butterflies, dart frogs, snakes with eyelashes, and wild turkeys! Robin brought us from door to door, to lunch along the way, and every where in between with a smile, great conversation, and fantastic local knowledge. He had a very high powered scope with him and stopped a few times along the route to point out wildlife he spotted. We are without a doubt using Robin the next time we come to Costa Rica. We have to! He's family.

Robin was not just transport, he was my family's local tour guide for the day. He knows all about the area having grown up there and he loves sharing everything you want to know. He is attentive and wants to make sure he puts an itinerary together that suits our interests. We went to a very nice brunch with good food and an amazing view of the lake and did a nice hike to the top of a waterfall. My family has always been in the hunt to see owls and Robin made that happen! They were the cutest pair of spectacled owls. We also saw some unique lizards as well. We ended up hitting alot of traffic but Robin was super chill and patient. Robin is kind hearted and funny, so we had a lot of laughs in the car just talking. Thanks Robin for making a memorable day for my family!!!

Awesome, Edson was a fantastic guide. Took us to a local soda and we had lunch while looking at monkeys
Renid_D, Sep 2023
Robin from Natural Adventure provided one of the best transportation experiences ever, safe, quick and on time. He gave some great recommendations of places to visit as well. 10/10 would recommend
Samantha_M, Aug 2023
I was picked up in La Fortuna and was taken to Tamarindo. The ride was very smooth. My driver was so nice and very educational from talking to me about the area of ArenalLa fortuna to the animals we saw. We stopped a few times so he could show me a few animals with his personal scope. Would definitely recommend over shuttle.
Pearl_H, Jun 2023
Robin drove us from Fortuna to Tamarindo and doubled as a tour guide, showing us sloths and capuchin monkeys along the way! (He even had a viewing scope packed for animal viewing!) The ride was smooth. Robin is a safe driver. He was kind enough to accommodate us tonight from Tamarindo to San Jose despite the late departure time. Would highly recommend. This guide/driver is willing to go the extra mile.
gay_M, May 2023
Robin was super thoughtful, attentive, kind and helpful driver. His communication was perfect with us about details. He stopped when we asked for a photo or anything we needed. He took us to llanos de cortes waterfall which was incredible and we stopped for lunch and ice cream. Thank you Robin!

Matt_G, Apr 2023
My wife and I needed transportation from La Fortuna to Tamarindo in Costa Rica. We had and excellent driver named Robin. He was very safe driving, and he was also extremely friendly. He even took time to pull the car over and show us some local animals with his spotting scope. Robin was a very friendly man who gave us great service and small talk, while also letting us take a little nap for the long four hour drive. The drive actually felt very fast because we had such good company and we stopped for snacks on our drive. I highly recommend this service for traveling between areas of Costa Rica!!!! Thank you Robin…..
Pura Vita,
Matt

This was an incredible and comfortable ride to Tamarindo. Robin was so friendly and kind, and was a great guide - he offered us stops along the way, attractions and restaurant ideas. Highly recommended!
Clint_M, Jan 2023
Robin was an amazing driver! He communicated early and often, was early to pick us up, had great conversation skills, and even taught us things about Costa Rica on our journey. He offered a few options for stops along the way that he thought we would enjoy (a good photo op, an animal sanctuary, and a good, quick restaurant that wasn't fast food). He even had a few snacks and drinks for us! Would highly recommend!
Joshua_H, Jan 2023
Robin did an excellent job starting with great communication. He also went above and beyond by allowing us to make quick stops to eat lunch as well as to the grocery store. He was kind and professional and we highly recommend Robin!

This Is the best transportation company option if you are in LaFortuna to start & go anywhere in Costa Rica.
Other staring points are not always available.
Lissette_D, Aug 2022
This was such a pleasant trip! It was a long one and we knew would be very windy and bumpy roads, but Robin made it so nice by showing us the different areas along the way. Even letting us get close to the wind turbines which I love, showing us the power plant and letting us listen to the buzzing of the electricity from the car. Those little details is what let us really learn and appreciate the Costa Rican way of life. He took us to this hidden “ Soda” ( Costa Rican typical food restaurant) and once you get inside and past the restaurant to the seating area in the back, the view was just breathtaking! We followed the road from La Fortuna to Tamarindo all along the Arenal fresh water lake which was huge and gorgeous. Even on that day that was cloudy, all the tones of grey were still amazing. He did not make us feel rushed at all and we stopped various times along the trip for anything interesting or any place we wanted to take a picture. At the end he had a bag of “ melones chinos” for us which were delicious.
Robin was awesome and I highly recommend this transport.
Rey_A, Aug 2022
10 stars!!! Friendly and knowledgeable driver! Edson treated us like family. Safe, conscientious, fun, and timely. Can’t ask for anything more. Oh yeah, price and mode of transportation were pretty great too! Would love to visit and hangout w/ him again! You won’t be disappointed.
Sara_M, Aug 2022
Had a great experience with this transport service! We had a long ride ahead of us (5+ hours) and Edson did his best to make it comfortable and joyful for us! With no rush we made two stops - one at a waterfall on the way to enjoy the sight and a second at a nice restaurant to fuel our tummies and stretch our legs. I travelled alone with my two daughters and felt safe at all times. And since I speak Spanish I also had a lovely conversation with Edson. Also, shout out to Robin for setting everything up in a timely and friendly manner.
