Sámara to Santa Teresa (short route)

Surf town to surf town, the short way: this transfer follows the coastal back roads south from Sámara, a rustic, scenic line down the edge of the Nicoya Peninsula instead of the long loop around via Paquera. Expect empty beaches, dry forest running down to the sand, and the feeling of a coastline most visitors never see. Since the vehicle is all yours, treat the drive as part of the day — a beach stop here, a fruit stand there, photos whenever the Pacific shows off. Santa Teresa waits at the end with some of Costa Rica’s most consistent surf, sunsets people rave about, and Mal País and the Cabo Blanco reserve just down the road. 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.

Sámara to Santa Teresa (long route)

When you’d rather circle the peninsula on the main roads, this is your Santa Teresa transfer: from Sámara across to the Gulf of Nicoya side, down through Paquera and Tambor, then over to Cóbano — the junction town for the whole southern tip — and on to the beach. It’s the longer way around, but it’s the main-road option, and in a private vehicle the extra distance is simply more Costa Rica out the window: gulf views, cattle country, and Curú Wildlife Refuge near Paquera. Hungry? Need supplies before beach-town prices kick in? Your driver stops where you say. Santa Teresa closes the show with epic surf, a lively beach strip, and sunsets people plan trips around. 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.

San José Airport (SJO) to Santa Teresa

Santa Teresa’s world-class surf and golden-hour beaches sit at the far end of the Nicoya Peninsula, and the journey from San José is famously tricky with a rental car — but effortless with a driver who knows the route by heart. Depending on ferry schedules and season, we either cross the Gulf of Nicoya on the Puntarenas–Paquera ferry — a scenic boat break in the middle of your trip — or loop around over the Tempisque bridge; your driver picks the smoothest option that day. Through Cóbano and on to the coast, stop for lunch, an ATM run, or groceries for your villa whenever you like: private means the itinerary is yours. Arrive rested, board shorts ready, just in time for sunset beside Mal País. 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 to Santa Teresa

Santa Teresa sits near the very tip of the Nicoya Peninsula, and the overland trip from Tamarindo runs the peninsula’s full length — through Santa Cruz and Nicoya, across rolling cattle country and tropical dry forest, and finally through the hub town of Cóbano before the Pacific reappears. It’s a long ride, which is precisely why going private matters: stretch your legs when you want, grab lunch where it smells good, load up on groceries before prices climb in town. Your driver knows these roads well, green season included. The payoff is one of the world’s most talked-about surf and wellness destinations — kilometers of beach breaks, blazing sunsets, and barefoot living. 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.

Liberia Airport (LIR) to Santa Teresa

Near the far southwestern tip of the Nicoya Peninsula, Santa Teresa has grown into one of the world’s great surf towns: consistent beach breaks, spectacular sunsets, and Mal País right next door, with the Cabo Blanco reserve — Costa Rica’s oldest protected area — at the very tip of the peninsula. It’s among the longest transfers we run from Liberia International Airport, and that’s exactly when a private driver pays off: no bus changes, no logistics on your shoulders, one vehicle door to door through the hub town of Cóbano. Break for lunch, a lookout, or groceries whenever it suits you — you set the pace, we handle the road. Flat rate per vehicle for 1–5 passengers; +$15 per additional passenger from the 6th (max. 9).
