Everything went very well. The driver was a great driver. We arrived at the scheduled time. Along the way, the driver acted as our guide and explained many things to us, and we stopped to take photos at the waterfalls.

Perfect transfer

Our driver picked us exactly on time and took us from boquete to Alimarante, with a free water taxi to Bocas del Toro. The trip was perfect, car was clean and he drove incredibly safely, pulling over any time he needed to use his phone (only once or twice). He provided large bottles of water for both of us, and offered plenty of bathroom breaks along the way. The highlight was a roadside stop at a beautiful waterfall where he cut up fresh pineapple for us! A quick welcome break in the 4 hour journey. Would highly recommend to anyone.

Great service if you want a comfortable ride to Bocas del Toro

Jason was an absolutely wonderful driver to ride with from David to Bocas del Toro. We had rented a car that needed to be returned in David, which meant we had to arrange alternative transport to continue on to Bocas del Toro. We didn’t want to take the bus, since that takes far too long and we had quite a lot of luggage with us. Smart Transport helped us with everything: they picked us up right from the airport in David to take us on the journey toward Bocas. It was an incredibly comfortable trip, fun and full of good company, and along the way we learned all kinds of interesting things about the areas we were driving through. As the cherry on top, we even stopped at a beautiful waterfall to enjoy some delicious fresh pineapple. From there it was on to Almirante, where they made sure we were comfortably settled onto the water taxi heading to Bocas del Toro. Truly top-notch service I’d recommend it to anyone!
