Private Transportation from Paquera Ferry to Bahía Ballena Tambor

A private transfer provides a prearranged road connection from Paquera Ferry to your confirmed destination in Bahía Ballena.

The vehicle is reserved for your traveling party, allowing the pickup to be coordinated around the ferry arrival instead of requiring passengers to arrange another transportation service after disembarking.

Make Sure You Mean Bahía Ballena in Tambor

This route serves Bahía Ballena in the Tambor area on the southern Nicoya Peninsula.

It should not be confused with Bahía Ballena near Uvita on Costa Rica's South Pacific coast.

These are completely different destinations.

When requesting transportation, provide the exact property name, address or map location in Bahía Ballena Tambor so the correct destination can be confirmed.

This geographic distinction is especially important when arranging a transfer before arriving at Paquera.

Coordinate Pickup with Your Ferry Arrival

Provide the ferry information available for your travel date when requesting transportation.

Ferry sailing, unloading and passenger movement can affect when travelers are ready to leave the Paquera terminal. The pickup should therefore be coordinated around the ferry rather than an assumed exact arrival minute.

For broader information about the Gulf crossing, Paquera and Playa Naranjo, review the Costa Rica Ferry Guide for Puntarenas, Paquera and Playa Naranjo.

Pickup at Paquera Ferry

Paquera is the ferry terminal on the Nicoya Peninsula side of the Gulf of Nicoya.

The private transfer begins from the confirmed meeting arrangement associated with the ferry arrival.

Paquera and Puntarenas are different transportation points:

Puntarenas: Mainland side of the Gulf

Paquera: Nicoya Peninsula side and the starting point for this private transfer
