About this route

Sámara and Tamarindo are two of the most-loved beach towns on the Nicoya Peninsula, and plenty of travellers want to see both. The public route means changes and a long wait; a private transfer makes it a straightforward two-hour drive.

We collect you from your hotel at a time that suits you, load the bags, and drive straight through. If you want to break the journey with a stop along the way, just say so when you book.
