Santa Teresa to San Jose Airport Shuttle Bus

We had a great experience with Tropical Tour Shuttles. We took the shuttle both from Liberia to Santa Teresa and from Santa Teresa to San Jose Airport. Both rides were efficient and pleasant and all of the drivers are wonderful. We felt so taken care of by them.

Used them to get from Santa Teresa back to SJO airport. Their response was quick to my inquiry, but they failed to send my ticket/invoice before the ride the next morning. So, the driver did not think/want to pick me up (he also did not speak English which doesn’t help). In the end it was sorted, but it was a big scare in the morning of leaving, which makes it worse. So, in the end I would recommend, but double check and ask them if you have all you will need to board the shuttle the day of departure.

This shuttle was very efficient in picking us up from our hotel to ferry to San Jose. The staff is friendly and drives well.

Good service, friendly drivers and punctual. If you go from Mal Pais to San Jose you have to leave the bus, walk onto the ferry and take another bus in Puntarenas. Anyway the ferry ride was joyful.

I rode the shared shuttle back from Santa Teresa to SJO. I’ve used their door-to-door services for the past three years for my surf trip. It’s very convenient and comfortable.

Was a good transfer, the only thing that was weird, we had to take another bus after the ferry and carried our bags on the ferry.

Everything went perfectly. They picked me up on time at 7:30am from my hostel in Santa Teresa. We drove 1.5h to Tambor where we boarded the boat which left from the harbor at 10am and arrived in Puntarenas at 11:15am where another shuttle bus was waiting for us. From there we drove to SJO airport and arrived by 1:30pm. Would highly recommend Tropical Tour shuttles! Thank you.

Easy and affordable transportation from Santa Teresa to SJO! They picked us up right at 8am and got us where we needed to go even earlier than we expected. Price includes the ferry.

It was incredibly easy and comfortable to take this shuttle from Santa Teresa to San Jose. Absolutely not worth it to drive your own car, get the ferry, and get lost 🙂 The driver couldn’t have been any nicer and more helpful. And then one can’t really beat these prices. I absolutely recommend taking the shuttle.

The service that we got was a Private Shuttle from Santa Teresa to San Jose. The experience was amazing… A van was at our doors in Santa Teresa to pick us up, super clean, the driver was really nice, all safety requirements. He dropped us in Paquera to take the ferry (tickets were included when I paid) then when we were in Puntarenas a van with a new driver was at the entrance waiting for us. It was so organized, loved the ride, comfortable and I felt safe. Definitely, I’ll ride with you guys again! I definitely loved it, you were so nice helping via email to help me make the decision and coordinate the shuttle.

I have taken the Trop Tours shuttle for the past four years to and from Santa Teresa to San Jose. The shuttle is always prompt, the drivers friendly, and there is never any worry they will forget you. They are easy to contact on WhatsApp. Have also taken specific tours with them — Curu and Tortuga — and find things similarly seamless and well-run. Would absolutely recommend!

I traveled from Santa Teresa to San José airport and it was such a pleasant experience! Fastest shuttle I have ridden and it was equipped with A/C and WiFi. The driver made me feel safe and answered any questions/concerns I had. I HIGHLY suggest you book your next trip in Costa Rica with Tropical Tours Shuttles!!

The trip from Santa Teresa to San Jose is long but at least we chose this shuttle service with WiFi and on time. I also had a problem during the booking payment, and they helped me and got me a refund straight away. Very satisfied!

I booked a transfer from Santa Teresa to SJO airport. They were on time waiting for me next to my hotel gate. Trip was quick and comfortable. One thing that I didn’t expect was they left us on a ferry and another guy picked us up after it.

Libo, our driver, was very kind and professional. We were able to communicate just fine with me speaking very little Spanish and he speaking a little English. We communicated with Tropical Tours mostly via email and WhatsApp. They responded quickly to everything and were very accommodating! We asked for a 6am pickup for the 9am ferry and were there well ahead of time, first on and off, and made it to San Jose Airport with plenty of time for our 2:15pm flight. We hired private transportation — the van could fit many more, but we had just 4. It was clean, air-conditioned, and Libo drove very carefully. Roads were great! Highly recommend Tropical Tours!

We used Tropical Tours Shuttle to take us from Santa Teresa to San Jose Airport. We got the private shuttle for our group of 5, and they were able to pick us up at 3:30am to get us to the airport. They were professional, responsive, and helpful. Thank you!

Had a great experience going from Santa Teresa back to SJO. We hired a private van for the 5 of us — reasonably priced. The driver picked us up exactly when we needed him to and drove us to the ferry. He asked us to remain in the air-conditioned van while he bought our tickets. On the other side another driver was waiting. The previous driver told us he would call and give our description to the new driver, so everything was easy. The second driver was beyond great. He pointed out things along the way, stopped when we needed him to, and was fun to talk to. We will definitely use Tropical Tours Shuttles again.

Super easy and on-time travel from Santa Teresa to San Jose. We took the 6:30am morning shuttle which picked us up on the main road near our Airbnb. We arrived in Tambor at 8:00am where we got dropped off and waited for the 9:00am ferry to Puntarenas. The ferry was fun and lively. After getting off the ferry, we were quickly met by a new driver on the other side. The trip to San Jose from there was very safe and flew by. I would definitely do it this way again.

Everything went as planned. Three women needed transportation from Santa Teresa to San Jose airport. We ordered our own shuttle, it came on time, left us at the ferry and another driver was welcoming us on the other side. He drove us to the airport. Very well organized!

Excellent service for transfer between Santa Teresa and San Jose. WiFi in the bus and very professional driver.

I have had some health issues since coming to Costa Rica. Tropical Tours has been the most reliable shuttle service, bending over backwards to make sure I make appointment times in San Jose. Their attentiveness (carrying suitcase) and dropping me off where I want to go is appreciated more than they know. I also feel I have made some new friends with many of the drivers. Gracias…
