La Pavona (Tortuguero) to San José Airport (SJO)

Tortuguero has no roads, so heading home starts with a boat — and ends with us. Your driver waits at the La Pavona dock, coordinated with the launch you arrive on, so there’s no gap between river and highway. From the dock, the route passes Cariari and Guápiles, crosses the banana and pineapple country of the Caribbean lowlands, then climbs Route 32 through the rainforest of Braulio Carrillo National Park before dropping into the Central Valley and San José’s Juan Santamaría Airport (SJO). Give us your flight details and we work the whole timeline backwards from takeoff, boat connection included. Muddy boots, wet backpacks, and souvenirs from the canals are all welcome aboard. 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.
