How the Private Transfer Works

The vehicle is reserved for your party rather than shared with passengers from other reservations. Pickup timing can be coordinated around your travel plans, making this option useful when a fixed shuttle departure does not fit your itinerary.

Provide the exact name and location of your accommodation at both ends of the journey. Access should be confirmed in advance when a hotel or vacation rental is located along a narrow, steep, remote, or unpaved road.

Travelers planning additional transfers can review the available transportation routes from Monteverde.

Route Overview

The journey begins on the winding mountain roads surrounding Monteverde and Santa Elena. After descending from the highlands, the transfer continues across lower-elevation sections toward the Nicoya Peninsula before approaching the rural roads around Nosara.

Road conditions, weather, traffic, and the exact pickup and drop-off locations can affect the final travel time. Conditions may also change between the dry and rainy seasons, particularly along rural or unpaved sections near the destination.

Because the transfer is completed overland, passengers do not need to coordinate a ferry crossing or change vehicles at a ferry terminal.

Pickup and Drop-Off Planning

Pickup can normally be coordinated from an accessible hotel, lodge, vacation rental, or meeting point in the Monteverde or Santa Elena area. Clear accommodation details help determine whether the assigned vehicle can reach the property directly.

Drop-off is coordinated for an accessible location in the Nosara area. Travelers staying outside the central Nosara and Playa Guiones areas should provide the complete property location when requesting the service.
