Private Shuttle Routes in Costa Rica

There are two main routes: (1) Via Route 702 through San Ramón - slightly longer but smoother roads, often used during heavy traffic or rainy season; (2) Via Vara Blanca passing Poás Volcano - more scenic with mountain views, used in good weather and lighter traffic. Our drivers choose the best route based on real-time traffic conditions, road status, and weather. Both routes take approximately 2.5-3 hours.

For 4+ travelers, our private service often costs the same or less per person than shared options.

Standard luggage allowance is 1 large suitcase + 1 carry-on per person. For surfboards, golf clubs, or extra luggage, please mention it when booking so we can assign the right vehicle.

For oversized boards or large groups with lots of gear, we may need to arrange a larger vehicle (subject to availability and pricing).
