Shuttle service is a shared transportation option in an air-conditioned minibus (or coaster) between popular destinations. Shuttle routes operate daily, and in some cases there are multiple departure times throughout the day. However, shuttles are by no means a public bus. They are subject to availability and must be reserved in advance.
​
For group sizes of one, two, and sometimes three people, shuttle service is a convenient and economical way to travel. However, depending on group size, private transport may offer a better price per person and a more flexible departure time.
​
For nearly all the shuttle transportation routes, there is at least one stop along the way where passengers can stretch, use the facilities, and get a snack. In most cases, shuttle transport provides door-to-door service, picking passengers up at hotels in the starting destination and dropping them off at hotels in the final destination.
​
However, sometimes a particular hotel is located outside the area’s main hotel zone, and the shuttle will not provide this door-to-door service. In these cases, a taxi can take you and your group to the shuttle pick-up or your final hotel stop.
Costa Rica is about the size of West Virginia, but ground transportation can take many hours on its rough, windy, and mountainous roads. Depending on your travel route, domestic flights may be the most convenient and sensible option. Traveling between some destinations can take up to 8 hours by ground, while a domestic flight can cut that travel time to 35 minutes - a major time saver, especially if you have only a short time in Costa Rica.
There are two daily domestic flight providers in Costa Rica - Sansa and Aerobell. Both providers are based in the San José metropolitan area and operate out of the Juan Santamaría International Airport (SJO) in Alajuela. Please keep this location in mind while planning your domestic routes and airport arrivals.
​
Both Sansa and Nature Air have strict reservation, cancellation, and luggage restriction policies that are important to understand prior to booking. Note that some domestic airports may service multiple travel destinations. For example, the Tambor airport is a 30-minute drive from both Montezuma and Mal País, making each of these destinations accessible by domestic flight.
