Santa Teresa a Sámara (vía corta)

Trading Santa Teresa’s sunset surf for Sámara’s gentle bay? Take the short route and keep the ocean close the whole way. This is the coastal back-roads run up the Nicoya Peninsula — rustic, scenic, and full of the Costa Rica most visitors fly right past: lonely beaches, little fishing villages, cattle gates and coconut palms. Your driver picks you up at your door in Santa Teresa, straps in the boards and bags, and pauses for any photo, snack, or empty-wave check you like. Then Sámara appears: a relaxed, walkable beach town on a horseshoe bay whose reef keeps the water calm — a softer landing after Santa Teresa’s power, with palm-backed Playa Carrillo next door. One vehicle, one driver, zero connections in between. Flat rate per vehicle for 1–5 passengers; +$15 per additional passenger from the 6th (max. 9).

Santa Teresa a Sámara (vía larga)

There are two ways north from Santa Teresa to Sámara; this is the smooth one. The long route swings around the Nicoya Peninsula on the main roads via Paquera, opening views over the Gulf of Nicoya and its islands before cutting across to Nicoya, one of the country’s oldest towns, and rolling back down to the Pacific at Sámara. It’s the pick for travelers who’d rather trade back-road adventure for a steadier ride — surfboards, sleeping kids and all. As always, it’s private and door-to-door: your driver meets you at your Santa Teresa lodging, and every stop for coffee, souvenirs, or a viewpoint is yours to call. By the time you arrive, Sámara’s calm, reef-protected bay and long palm-lined beach are already setting the pace for the days ahead. 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.

Santa Teresa a Aeropuerto de San José (SJO)

Leaving Santa Teresa is the one part of the trip nobody wants to think about — so let us do the thinking. Your driver plans the day backwards from your departure: the road out through Cóbano, the ferry crossing at Paquera over the Gulf of Nicoya, and the highway into San José’s Juan Santamaría Airport (SJO), with a comfortable buffer built in so you reach your flight with time to spare. There’s room in the vehicle for surfboards and luggage, and the gulf crossing makes a genuine send-off — sea breeze, scattered islands, one last horizon of Pacific blue. If you’d like a final coffee or souvenir stop along the way, just say the word. End the trip as smoothly as it started. 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.

Santa Teresa a Tamarindo

From the far southern tip of the Nicoya Peninsula to its most famous surf town — this is the long haul, and exactly the kind of day you want a professional driver for. Leaving the breaks of Santa Teresa and Mal País behind, the route climbs to Cóbano and then winds north with views over the Gulf of Nicoya, through small farming and fishing towns, before passing Nicoya and Santa Cruz and dropping to the beach at Tamarindo. It’s a full travel day, but your driver knows where to stop for lunch, a stretch, or a fresh coconut, and the air-conditioned vehicle carries boards and every bag. You ride, nap, and watch the peninsula roll by — then step out at your Tamarindo door ready for sunset. 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.

Santa Teresa a Aeropuerto de Liberia (LIR)

Board bags zipped, one last Santa Teresa sunset behind you — now comes the leg where a private driver really earns it. Instead of a shared-van timetable, you leave when your flight says you should: give us your flight number and we build the schedule backwards from it, with margin to spare. The route climbs out through Cóbano, skirts the Gulf of Nicoya near Paquera, and runs north up the peninsula to Liberia International — a long haul you can break up however you like, with a proper lunch, a coffee, or a stretch with a gulf view. Boards, bags and sleepy surfers all ride in the same vehicle, no transfers, no waiting. The trip ends the way it started: on your terms. 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.
