Travel at your own pace, on your own schedule, and without having to wait on other passengers. We offer this private transportation service to travel between two major tourist destinations: San Juan del Sur, Nicaragua and the La Fortuna – Arenal Volcano area in Costa Rica (or vice versa).
According to your schedule our driver will pick you up from your hotel in a late model shuttle van to take you to the Peñas Blancas border crossing. There you will go through the border crossing and connect with another shuttle van waiting for you on the other side to take you on to your destination.
With this service there is no waiting for other passengers; on the way we stop when and where you want to: restaurants, super market, photo stops, etc.
The approximate travel time is four and a half hours of travel time. This does not include the time necessary to cross the border which will depend on the time of day and number of others waiting to cross. Typically after 2:00 pm there is less of a wait at the border.
Notes:
With this purchase, you would have your vehicle for your own, with customizable stops along the way, and flexible pick up time according to your request.
