The Shuttle System is Geat

RUBY_O, Nov 2024
It's amazing how well the shuttle companies work together to make sure everyone gets where they need to go. Our driver got us to San Jose safe and sound despite very bad rain. We also stopped for a bathroom/snack break

One of the best transfers ever - it was genuinely fun, not just efficient and useful

Michael_W, Dec 2023
Absolutely BRILLIANT. It’s not just a simple transfer (on time and efficient though it was), it’s also a lovely journey with amazing views. Driver pointed things out and gave interesting facts etc about the places we passed along the way. He also v briefly stopped (after checking with us it was ok to do so) at an amazing view point and also spotted MONKEYS in the trees by the roadside. If I could give 7 stars, I would. We got there on time after a comfortable safe and enjoyable journey.

Relaxing transportation to Manuel Antonio

Jon_T, May 2023
It is definitely a lengthy drive from Monteverde to Manuel Antonio, but Brian did a great job to keep us all safe and comfortable. He gave us a break twice on the trip. Once for a leg stretch and snack at a great roadside location. Later we took a quick stop at the crocodile bridge to see the huge crocks. The weather was rainy, but Brian drove us safely to our destination. I definitely recommend.
