Jacó to Tamarindo

Two surf towns, one easy drive. When Jacó’s beach-town buzz has run its course, a private shuttle takes you straight up the coast to Tamarindo, door to door. Early in the drive you cross the Tárcoles bridge (one last look at the crocodiles below), then the road skirts the Gulf of Nicoya before opening onto Guanacaste’s plains of cattle ranches and shade trees. Bring the boards: there’s room for them and everyone’s luggage, and you can pull over wherever looks good — a soda for lunch, a fruit stand, supplies for your rental. Tamarindo picks up right where Jacó left off, with consistent breaks, restaurants for every mood, and Las Baulas National Marine Park just north of town. 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.

Puntarenas to Tamarindo

Wrapping up a Central Pacific stay — or stepping off a cruise ship at the pier? From Puntarenas, the old port town stretched along the Gulf of Nicoya, a private driver can have you on Guanacaste sand the very same day. Treat yourself to a Churchill, the shaved-ice classic this port is famous for, before loading up; then the road crosses the Tempisque River on the La Amistad bridge and rolls through the ranch land of the Nicoya Peninsula toward the coast. It’s one of the shorter hops to Tamarindo — direct, comfortable, with space for every suitcase and zero bus-terminal chaos. You’ll be checking the surf in Tamarindo, with Las Baulas National Marine Park at its doorstep, while the day is still young. 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.

La Pavona (Tortuguero) to Tamarindo

Your boat from Tortuguero glides into the La Pavona dock — and instead of juggling buses and connections with damp bags, you find your driver waiting right there. This is the classic coast-to-coast run: Caribbean canals in the morning, Pacific sunset by evening. The road leaves the banana lowlands, climbs through the misty rainforest of Braulio Carrillo National Park, crosses the Central Valley, and finally opens onto the hot golden plains of Guanacaste. It’s a full travel day, so we make it comfortable — a proper lunch stop, coffee where you like, leg-stretches on demand. You handled the turtles; we handle the logistics. Tamarindo rounds out the trip with surf, restaurants, and some of the most dependable sunsets in the country. 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.

Puerto Viejo (Talamanca) to Tamarindo

Sea to sea in a single ride. Leaving Puerto Viejo means trading reggae, jungle beaches and Caribbean cool for Guanacaste surf and sabanero country — and a private shuttle turns that entire crossing into one relaxed day. The route heads up the coast past Cahuita National Park and the port of Limón, threads through the green wall of Braulio Carrillo National Park, skirts the Central Valley, and descends into the dry heat of the Pacific northwest. It’s one of the longest hops travelers make in Costa Rica, which is exactly why you don’t want to attempt it on a chain of public buses: nap, snack and stop at will while your driver does the work. By evening you’re in Tamarindo — new coast, new waves, same adventure. 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.

Arenal (La Fortuna) to Tamarindo

Hot springs soaked, volcano hiked, sloths duly photographed — when La Fortuna has given you everything, the beach is calling. The private drive to Tamarindo ranks among the prettiest transfers in the country: the road curls along the shore of Lake Arenal, passes the wind turbines above Tilarán, then drops onto the sunbaked plains of Guanacaste. Stop for one last lake photo with the volcano behind you, a coffee in a hillside town, or fruit from a roadside stand — it’s your vehicle and your schedule. Luggage, surfboards and sleepy kids all ride door to door. Tamarindo receives you with warm Pacific water, surf schools for every level, and sunsets that explain why so many visitors never quite leave. 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.

Montezuma to Tamarindo

One last morning at the Montezuma waterfalls, one last wander through the little bohemian village — then your driver loads up and points north. The trip up the Nicoya Peninsula is a journey in itself: from the forested corner near Cabo Blanco, Costa Rica’s first protected wilderness, up through Cóbano and along the gulf, then across ranch country to Santa Cruz and out to the Pacific again at Tamarindo. It’s a long ride, but it’s yours alone: stop for lunch, photos, or a bathroom break whenever anyone needs it. At the other end, Tamarindo swaps waterfalls for world-class surf, sunset sails, and dinner options on every corner. 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.

Playa Coyote to Tamarindo

Playa Coyote is where Costa Rica still feels like a secret — long, empty sand, mangrove-lined rivermouths, barely a building in sight. When it’s time for the next stop, your driver comes to you, however far your lodge or rental sits from the main road. The ride north threads through the rural heart of the peninsula, past small villages and cattle pastures, with the option of a break in Sámara or Nicoya for coffee and a leg stretch. No bus connections to puzzle over, no dragging luggage across town — one vehicle, door to door. At the other end you trade Coyote’s solitude for Tamarindo’s energy: surf schools, beach bars, and the kind of sunsets people plan their whole evening 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.

Monteverde to Tamarindo

Cloud forest in the morning, Pacific sunset by evening — few transfers show off Costa Rica’s range like this one. Your driver collects you at your Monteverde hotel and eases down the famous mountain road, where on clear days the Gulf of Nicoya spreads out far below. In the lowlands the route typically crosses the Tempisque River on the La Amistad bridge and runs through Santa Cruz, Costa Rica’s folklore city, before reaching the beach at Tamarindo. Ask for a stop at a roadside soda or fruit stand, or just feel the temperature climb as the coast gets closer. The quetzals and hanging bridges are behind you; the surfboards and sunsets are waiting. 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.

Rincón de la Vieja to Tamarindo

After the mud pots, hot springs, and zip lines of Rincón de la Vieja, it’s time for the beach chapter. We pick you up at Hacienda Guachipelín or any lodge around the national park and head down the volcano’s slopes toward Liberia, then across the wide Guanacaste flatlands — cattle ranches, spreading guanacaste trees, small sabanero towns — until the Pacific appears at Tamarindo. It’s a comfortable, air-conditioned ride with room for muddy boots and all your gear, and any stop along the way — coffee, groceries for your beach rental, a souvenir — takes one sentence to arrange. Trade volcano views for surf lessons and sunsets the very same day. 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.

Playas del Coco to Tamarindo

Two beach towns, one easy hop. When you’re ready to trade Playas del Coco’s sportfishing boats and lively main street for Tamarindo’s surf, your driver is at your door — condo or hotel — at whatever time suits you. The drive cuts through Sardinal and the sugar-cane and cattle country around Filadelfia before rolling into Huacas and down to the coast. It’s short enough that you can keep your morning at Coco and still be settled in Tamarindo by lunch, with a grocery or ATM stop on the way if you want one. Same driver, same vehicle, zero connections — the simplest way to link two of Guanacaste’s favorite beach towns. 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.
