Shared Shuttle to Tortuguero
from San José, Arenal & Puerto Viejo
Daily transportation to Tortuguero with hotel pick-up and boat transfer included.
Our shared shuttle service offers daily departures from centrally located hotels in San José, La Fortuna (Arenal), Puerto Viejo and Cahuita. Pick-up is early in the morning, between 7:00 and 7:30 a.m., and an additional fee may apply for hotels outside the main town areas.
The land portion of the trip takes approximately 3 to 4 hours, ending at La Pavona dock, where guests will board the included boat transfer to the lodge, which may take 1 to 2 hours, depending on river conditions.
This is a transportation service, not a guided tour. Meals are not included, and neither the van driver nor the boat captain is guaranteed to speak English. However, we stop at a gas station along the way for restroom use and to buy snacks or drinks.
Return transfers from Tortuguero depart between 9:00 and 9:30 a.m. daily.
