Aeropuerto de San José (SJO) a Puntarenas

Heading for the ferry, a cruise, or a taste of old coastal Costa Rica? Puntarenas — the historic port stretched along a narrow sand spit in the Gulf of Nicoya — is one of the quickest Pacific escapes from San José. Your private driver meets you at SJO and takes the highway down from the Central Valley, past the fruit stands around Orotina, until the air turns warm and salty. If you’re connecting to the Paquera or Playa Naranjo ferry, tell us your departure time and we’ll plan the pickup around it. Once in town, stroll the Paseo de los Turistas and try a churchill, the port’s famous shaved-ice treat. Want a coffee stop or a photo break on the way? It’s your car — just ask. Flat rate per vehicle for 1–5 passengers; +$20 per additional passenger from the 6th (max. 9). Available 24/7 — enter your pickup time and flight number at checkout.

Tamarindo a Puntarenas

Catching the ferry toward the Nicoya Peninsula, boarding a cruise, or connecting onward? A private transfer from Tamarindo puts you in Puntarenas in around two and a half to three hours — timed so you’re never watching your boat leave without you. Your driver takes the La Amistad bridge over the Tempisque River, then follows the Interamericana down to the old port, built on a sandspit only a few blocks wide. It’s a slice of working Costa Rica: the seafront Paseo de los Turistas, ferries sliding out across the Gulf of Nicoya, and the churchill — the shaved-ice treat this city invented. And since the vehicle is yours, we leave when you say and stop where you point, even if it’s just for that churchill. Flat rate per vehicle for 1–5 passengers; +$15 per additional passenger from the 6th (max. 9). Available 24/7 — enter your pickup time and flight number at checkout.
