Tamarindo to Nosara
Excellent service! The driver got me to my destination safely and quickly. It was worth the $. Unfortunately there were no other travellers requesting this route on the date I required the shuttle. So it was very pricey for me to take private shuttle for $160. Tamarindo shuttles and tours wouldn’t even operate a private shuttle. Minimum of two people. So I was grateful for the safe shuttle despite the cost.
