Private Transportation from El Castillo Arenal

This service is specifically for travelers beginning their trip in El Castillo Arenal and traveling to Puntarenas Ferry.

The exact origin is important. El Castillo should not automatically be treated as the same pickup location as La Fortuna or as a general Arenal Volcano pickup. Include the complete name of your hotel, lodge, vacation rental or other confirmed pickup location when requesting transportation.

Keeping the pickup location specific also ensures that the reservation is based on the El Castillo Arenal to Puntarenas Ferry service rather than a different Arenal-area route.

Connecting with a Ferry in Puntarenas

For some travelers, Puntarenas Ferry is a connection point rather than the final destination.

If your itinerary continues by ferry, include the relevant sailing information with your transportation request. The private transportation service described on this page covers the road-transfer segment to the Puntarenas ferry area; any separate ferry segment should only be considered part of the reservation when specifically confirmed.

Travelers planning the next stage can consult the Costa Rica Ferry Guide for Puntarenas, Paquera and Playa Naranjo.
