Description
Our daily shuttles offer a safe, convenient, and economical way to travel between the most popular destinations in Costa Rica. Shuttle service is a shared transportation option in an air-conditioned minibus (or coaster) between popular destinations. Shuttle routes operate daily, and in some cases there are multiple departure times throughout the day. However, shuttles are by no means a public bus. All the vehicles used for shuttle transportation are air conditioned, well-maintained minibuses (passenger vans) driven by reliable and punctual Costa Rican bilingual professionals, who are eager to help you move safely around the country. Enjoy your way with Free Wi-Fi inside the vans to share every adventure of your trip and our professional drivers will show you our amazing country!
