We had Tropical Tours Shuttle take us from San Jose Airport to Santa Teresa and they were a wonderful. We had a private shuttle which took us to the ferry and then pick us up a the other side. The drivers were very friendly, professional, helped us with our luggage, and taught us Spanish during the drive. We would recommend them to anyone.

Tropical Tours private shuttle service is the best thing we did for our trip to Costa Rica!

We used Tropical Tours shuttle service from San Jose airport to Santa Teresa and it was the best decision we could have made. They were extremely responsive to the request and provided excellent communication before our arrival. Pricing and payment were very easy and we received email copies of everything. Melvin was our driver who picked us up and he was absolutely amazing. His van was spotless and had tons of room for our large family with all of our luggage. He offered various stops for groceries, food and restrooms. He was very helpful and informative about both the journey and Costa Rica in general. It was such and easy process that I can’t imagine doing it any other way.

Incredible customer service.

We used tropical tours for a shuttle to Santa Teresa from San Jose airport. Everything with them was very efficient and everyone we dealt with was incredible helpful especially Leo who helped us out in so many ways over our stay in Santa Teresa. We were incredibly grateful for him and would definitely use this company again. Everyone we dealt with was highly professional and friendly!

Great Shuttle Service!

My GF and I took the shuttle from SJO to Santa Teresa and it was smooth and easy. We traveled with large surfboard bags and large backpacks and there was plenty of room for our stuff. Pick up at the airport then drive to ferry – ferry ride across the bay – get on second shuttle with drop off on the driveway of our airbnb. I could not be any easier!

Great way to get from San José to Nicoya

We took the shuttle from Allejuela (near airport) to Malpais. They picked us up on time, gave us our ferry tickets, took a photo, and another driver picked us up on the other side. The first driver gave us some historical information and a breakfast recommendation. Highly recommended, good value.

Great Shuttle Company

We hired Tropical Tours Shuttles to bring us from San Jose Airport to Santa Teresa and they were great! We had two drivers, one before the ferry and one afterwards, and they were both professional, kind, and taught us Spanish the whole ride. We will definitely use them again.

Worth the cost

Hassle-free transport to Santa Teresa from San José airport. The driver kept a safe speed, and although the bus was crammed, cofort was ok. But do look over the seatbelts in some of the buses please.

Great door to door service.

Booked and paid online in advance and the shuttle was there on time to pick me up from a hotel I’d stayed in near San Jose airport and took me to Santa Teresa via a ferry. The ferry was organised by them and included in the price. I was impressed so booked them for the return leg of my journey.

From San José to Santa Teresa

Always on time and fair prices. Friends enjoyed the ferry experience. The driver was at SJO waiting.

SJO to Santa Teresa

Best shuttle company in Costa Rica! Always on time, comfortable vans with air conditioning, great drivers, and good vibes! I’ve tried other companies, and Tropical Tours is honestly the best.

Drive from airport to Santa Teresa

Excellent service! We used the private shuttle for our long journey from San José Airport to Santa Teresa, and our driver made it easy. He gave us great travel tips and made us feel very safe. Highly recommend Tropical Tours to anyone looking for reliable, efficient shuttle service—no matter how long the journey!

Easy coordination and great service, but beware of CR roads

Great service for those not interested in taking a puddle jumper flight to difficult to reach areas of Costa Rica. We did a full-ferry service private van for 4, round trip from San Jose to Santa Teresa. The ferry was actually pleasant and scenic, and our driver stopped on the way to the ferry from SJO at a great local restaurant for a delicious authentic lunch. Only complaint/warning would be that the driving once you get closer to Santa Teresa is not for the faint of heart — terrible road conditions, lots of dangerous feeling car passing, and poor/no lighting after dark. I’d encourage as early of a ride as possible to avoid driving after dark, which felt more nerve-wracking than the same trip back in the daylight. I think this is just part of the normal CR driving culture, but doesn’t make it any less scary for those unfamiliar with it. But overall a very positive experience that was easy to coordinate.

Wild and Adventurous! Great way to see the real Costa Rica

We took the shuttle from SJO to Malpaís/Santa Teresa. They picked us up promptly and got us to and from the ferry between Puntarenas and Paquera. The roads are wild and bumpy on the Nicoya Peninsula, but our drivers did a great job navigating them. It was a fun way to see the real Costa Rica!

Friendly, reliable and punctual

I had a really pleasant experience getting from San José to Santa Teresa. I was picked up straight from the airport at the estimated time. The drivers were friendly and helpful throughout the trip. I would definitely recommend Tropical Tours if you’re looking for a comfortable and quick journey!

Outstanding service

Juan and Tropical Tours saved our vacation. They were patient and understanding when our flights were bumped around and cancelled. When we arrived in San Jose we were received by our driver Luis with a smile. With a tropical storm moving in we enjoyed a peaceful drive to our destination near Santa Teresa. We hadn’t eaten much at all that day so Tropical Tours made brief stops at an ATM and grocery store for us. Our vacation was nearly ruined but JC (Juan) and the team brought us to paradise! We would definitely book with them again!
