Santa Teresa to San Jose Airport Shuttle Bus

Incredible customer service.
October 2021 on Tripadvisor by Kim W

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!

Exceptionally friendly and reliable service!
September 2021 on Tripadvisor by Nick

I used Tropical Tours Shuttles for a private transfer between Santa Teresa and San Jose. Everything was so seamless, from initiating my inquiry on WhatsApp and having them answer all my questions to meeting my drivers. The transfer included a trip on the Puntarenas-Paquera ferry and my initial driver got my ticket and made sure I was situated to get on board, and called ahead to my driver on the other side to let him know I was on my way. When I arrived, he was waiting for me and checked on me several times throughout the trip to see if I wanted to stop anywhere to eat or use a bathroom. Friendly service from both the office and the drivers made this worth the price. Pura Vida!

Great, safe, and efficient transportation
August, 2021 on Tripadvisor by Megan E

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.

Recommend, but double check
June 8, 2021 on Tripadvisor by elimass760

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.

Profesional shuttle
June 7, 2021 on Tripadvisor by Jlu99

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
June 6, 2021 on Tripadvisor by Marc E

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.

Easy ride from Santa Teresa to SJO

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.

Transfer Santa Teresa to San Jose
February 3, 2021 on Tripadvisor by michellegrunder

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.

Excellent service
January 13, 2021 on Tripadvisor by alenamoki

Everything went perfectly. They picked me up on time 7.30am from my hostel in Santa Teresa. We drove 1,5h to Tambor where we boarder on the boat which left from the harbour at 10am and arrived in Punta Arenas at 11.15am where another shuttle bus was waiting for us. From there we drove to SJO airport and arrived by 13.30pm. Would highly recommend Tropical Tour shuttles! Thank you.

Great experience
January 11, 2021 on Tripadvisor by Michael

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

Safe , practical , and relax
December, 2020 on Tripadvisor by Tim L

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 coudn’t have been any nicer and more helpful .
And then one can’t really beat these prices .
I absolutely recomend taking the shuttle

Convenient Ride
September, 2020 on Tripadvisor by Alexandra A

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 Sant 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, love the ride, confortable and I felt safe. Definitely, I’ll ride with you guys again I definitely love it, you were so nice helping via email to made me take the decision and coordinating the shuttle.

Always reliable and on time
January 14, 2020 on Tripadvisor by Anna D

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!

Only shuttle I use in Costa Rica!

I traveled from Santa Teresa to San José airport & it was such a pleasant experience! Fastest shuttle I have rode & it was equipped with A/C & wifi. The driver made me feel safe and answered any questions/concerns I needed. 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 has a problem during the booking payment, and they helped me and got me a refund straight away. Very satisfied!

Transfer to SJO airport from Santa Teresa
January 27, 2019 on Tripadvisor by sylviaZaleska

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

Excellent! Clean, prompt and easy!
November 14, 2018 on Tripadvisor by Footprints558289

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

Shuttle to Airport
July 13, 2018 on Tripadvisor by stephfischer9

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 3:30 am to get us to the airport. They were professional, responsive, and helpful. Thank you!

On time, good driving, friendly people.
June 15, 2018 on Tripadvisor by crestarica

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 waited. The previous driver told us that he would call and give our description to our 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.

Fast and easy!
April 12, 2018 on Tripadvisor by lucykatherine7

Super easy and on-time travel from Santa Teresa to San Jose. We took the 6:30 morning shuttle which picked us up on the main road near our airBnB. We arrived in Tambor at 8:00 where we got dropped off and waited for the 9:00 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.

Always glad to see Tropical Tours
July 3, 2017 on Tripadvisor by T2084XKbonnieb

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. There 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…
