Sámara to Peñas Blancas (frontera Nicaragua)

Crossing into Nicaragua? Skip the bus connections and ride straight from your door in Sámara to the Peñas Blancas border post, Costa Rica’s main land crossing on the Pan-American Highway. The drive heads north through the old colonial town of Nicoya and Guanacaste’s wide-open cattle country, passes Liberia, and continues toward La Cruz, known for its lookout over Salinas Bay. Want a proper breakfast or last-minute supplies before immigration? Ask your driver to pull over — this trip moves at your pace. We drop you right at the border gate; once you’ve walked across, San Juan del Sur and Rivas are an easy onward ride. 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 Bahía Drake

Trading Guanacaste’s dry forest for the wild Osa Peninsula is one of Costa Rica’s great road trips — and with a private driver, all you do is enjoy it. From your door in Sámara, the route crosses the Tempisque River on the La Amistad bridge, then follows the Pacific coastal highway south past Jacó, Quepos, and Uvita before heading into the Osa, where Drake Bay is the gateway to Corcovado National Park and Caño Island. It’s a long travel day, so make it yours: pause for a seafood lunch, a coffee, or a stretch on any beach that catches your eye. Luggage, boards, and dive bags all ride along, door to door. 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 Quepos

Door to door from Sámara to Quepos, the sportfishing hub beside Manuel Antonio National Park — no terminals, no crowds, just your own driver and vehicle. The route leaves the Nicoya Peninsula over the La Amistad bridge across the Tempisque River, then drops onto the coastal highway, where the famous Tárcoles crocodile bridge makes a classic photo stop: massive crocs bask on the riverbanks below. Hungry for ceviche, need groceries for your rental, or spot a viewpoint worth a picture? Just say so — the schedule belongs to you. You’ll roll into Quepos rested, with the monkeys and white-sand coves of Manuel Antonio waiting just over the hill. 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 Uvita

Uvita’s famous whale-tail sandbar sits at the heart of Marino Ballena National Park, and a private transfer from Sámara gets you there with zero connections. After crossing the Tempisque River onto the mainland, the drive follows Costa Rica’s Pacific coast southward — past the surf breaks of Jacó, the rainforest around Quepos, and the laid-back surf town of Dominical just before you arrive. Uvita is the country’s whale-watching capital: humpbacks visit these waters for much of the year. Want to break up the ride with a beachfront lunch, fresh fruit from a roadside stand, or a photo stop? It’s your car and your day — just ask the driver. 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 Puerto Viejo (Talamanca)

Pacific to Caribbean in one private ride: this coast-to-coast transfer carries you from Sámara’s golden sand clear across Costa Rica to Puerto Viejo de Talamanca. The road climbs over the Central Valley, then plunges through the misty rainforest of Braulio Carrillo National Park on Route 32 before reaching the port city of Limón and turning south along the Caribbean shore, past Cahuita National Park. It’s a full travel day, so treat it like one — stop for a proper lunch, a coffee, or a stretch whenever you feel like it; there’s no schedule but yours. At the end waits Puerto Viejo’s Afro-Caribbean rhythm, the Salsa Brava surf break, and the jungle-backed beaches of Cocles and Punta Uva. 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 La Pavona (Tortuguero)

No road reaches Tortuguero — the journey ends at the La Pavona river dock, where boats glide through the canals to the village and its national park. Our private transfer handles the entire overland leg: from your door in Sámara, across the country, through the rainforest of Braulio Carrillo National Park, then into the farm country around Guápiles and Cariari to the dock itself. Tell us which boat you’re aiming for and we’ll plan the pickup around it. Along the way, stop for breakfast, snacks for the boat, or a photo whenever you like — the ride runs on your clock. Then it’s downstream to Tortuguero, famous worldwide for its nesting sea turtles. 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 Montezuma (long route)

Prefer to stay on the main roads? The long route to Montezuma swings around the peninsula via Paquera, then heads down through Tambor and the hub town of Cóbano before dropping into the village. It covers more kilometers than the coastal shortcut, but it’s the conventional, main-road way in — and a private transfer turns those kilometers into part of the trip. Expect views over the Gulf of Nicoya, a pass by Curú Wildlife Refuge near Paquera, and total freedom to stop: lunch, groceries for your stay, or a photo whenever one presents itself. At the end waits Montezuma, with its famous waterfalls, bohemian streets, and the Cabo Blanco Absolute Nature Reserve just down the coast. 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 (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.

Sámara to Jacó

Crossing from Sámara to Jacó means leaving the Nicoya Peninsula altogether — over the La Amistad bridge across the Tempisque River, down past the Gulf of Nicoya, and onto the central Pacific coastal highway. It’s the longest transfer on this list, and precisely where a private driver changes everything: no bus terminals, no ferry timetables, door to door with breaks whenever you want them. Save your best stop for the Tárcoles River bridge, the famous crocodile lookout beside Carara National Park, shortly before you reach Jacó. The destination brings surf, restaurants, nightlife, and a central-Pacific base near the breaks of Playa Hermosa. Lunch on the road, a supermarket run, a leg-stretch for the kids — it all fits, because the itinerary is yours. 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.
