Great ride. Great price.
Booked a shared shuttle at 5pm the night before my scheduled pick up (8 am bus from Nosara to Santa Teresa). Company responded to my online form and WhatsApp inquiries very quickly, which was much appreciated. Driver arrived at my Airbnb at 8:15 (which is normal, as they have to cruise around and pick up multiple people starting at 8am). We left Nosara by 8:45 with 6 or so people in a shared van. This first van was a bit hot but not too bad given the price. It was only an hour or so to Nicoya where we transferred to a much larger bus with very good AC. That 3hr leg of the trip to Santa Teresa was great and very comfortable. Driver dropped me off right at my hotel. Would definitely recommend this company and will definitely use them again.

Seemless pick up and connections for our journey from Nosara to Santa Maria….plus wifi if you need any distraction from the scenic journey.

I had excellent well Priced service from a friendly and accommodating driver who also helped quite a bit with Spanish language skills. Drive through the Costa Rica. Countryside during dry season was spectacular.
