It was good! I was a little skeptical because I hadn't taken a shuttle in Costa Rica before, but they handled a pickup location change super easily and got us to the airport in a really good amount of time. For reference I got picked up from Santa Teresa on the earlier shuttle (my time was 6:45) and we got to the airport around 12:30 which was faster than I expected

Great way to reach Santa Teresa
Used this company to get to and from our vacation spot on the Nicoya Peninsula. Booking was easy online using PayPal. Response to emails was fast and helpful. Vans were air conditioned and comfortable. Drivers arrived on time and were courteous and efficient. Driver purchased ferry tickets for us. Would recommend and use again.

Direct and easy way to get where you want to get to.
Clean, new, fast, and comfortable. The drivers are experienced and know a lot about the region. We went to Santa Teresa and even though the road is not the best, we felt safe and comfortable. The only thing is that you may be told to switch buses somewhere along the road as not all passengers are going to the same place and they need to reshuffle them. It is easily handled by the chauffeurs at predesignated locations. If you’re lucky you won’t need to transfer, and if you do, it’s really no problem. The service is good, they bring you right to your hotel and make sure you do not forget any luggage. I recommend them if you want to avoid struggles and have a relaxed, quick shuttle to your hotel.

Perfect transfer to Santa Teresa
Easy and fast transfer with good drivers and AC in the bus. We were six people and could easily fit all our equipment, including two surfboards.

The best shuttle I took in Costa Rica
The shuttle arrived on time right at my hotel door. The driver was kind, helpful, and efficient. This was by far the most comfortable, clean, and modern shuttle we took in Costa Rica — and we took quite a few. The trip from Santa Teresa to the ferry was short, and the ferry was included in the fee. Highly recommend!

The best shuttle I took in Costa Rica
The shuttle arrived on time right at my hotel door. The driver was very kind, helpful and efficient. The shuttle was by far the comfiest, cleanest and newest shuttle that we took in Costa Rica and we took quite a few. The trip from Santa Teresa to the ferry was not long at all and the ferry is included in the fee and is about an hour long. The ferry was great, you walk on without the bus and a different shuttle picks you up at the other side. We asked to be dropped off at a different location than originally requested and he was fine with that. It took roughly 5 hours but it didn’t feel that long at all! Highly recommend!

Trop to Santa Teresa
The vehicle was fine, but the driver didn’t explain enough about the trip schedule or stops. Still, we arrived safely at our destination.

Thanks for getting us to most beautiful place in CR
We were picked up by a really nice driver at 5 in the morning, got to meet great people, and had a really nice breakfast at a local restaurant. We arrived safely in Santa Teresa. Do the transfer with them — it's super easy, great price, and very well organized! We were really happy with our choice!

Brilliant service, and shorter journey thanks to clever short cuts!
Having arrived off a long flight from London and as a lone female traveller, it was a welcome sight that Oslin was there to meet me on time to get me to Santa Teresa! He knew a shortcut which shaved off two hours from the journey, so I arrived ahead of schedule having witnessed some beautiful scenery en route. Brilliant service and I’ll use them again for my time in CR. Thank you!

Questions about our services
Why might my shared shuttle pickup be delayed?
We set a departure time for each destination, but the minibus must travel through Santa Teresa to pick up every passenger. This process can add a few extra minutes to the scheduled pickup time.
Does the shuttle service make stops on the way to Santa Teresa?
On longer routes, our shared shuttles make planned rest stops at designated locations so passengers can hydrate and use the restroom.
How many passengers can private shuttles accommodate?
Our smaller minibuses can accommodate up to 14 passengers, while larger buses can carry groups of up to 30. Standard private-shuttle pricing covers up to four passengers; each additional passenger costs $25. Please contact us for larger groups.
Do you offer transportation 24 hours a day to Santa Teresa?
Yes. Private shuttle service is available at any time with an advance reservation. Please book at least 24 hours before pickup so we can confirm the schedule. Pickups between 9:00 p.m. and 6:00 a.m. have a $50 after-hours fee.
