What travelers actually say.
A Wray
in the last weekJulio was awesome! The drive from La Fortuna/Rainforest to Jacko Beach was really beautiful and took us through some small towns that were great. We stopped at El Jardin to see the butterflies and was really good for spotting toucans & macaws. Totally work with them again

Camila Galarza
2 weeks agoJulio my driver was incredibly welcoming, as a solo female traveller I felt absolutely safe the entire time and even when I was car sick in the roads of Costa Rica he tried to make the experience better for me. I would 1000% recommend this company and especially Julio!
הילה שי וזאן
2 weeks agoJulio made our journey pleasant, relaxing, and much shorter than we expected. His vehicle was modern, spotless, and very comfortable, and he was professional, courteous, and an excellent driver throughout the trip. I wholeheartedly recommend him to anyone looking for a reliable and enjoyable transfer.

From
+$119 US vs Standard · ~3 extra hours · up to 5 passengers
Choose one experience for your day
- Option 1
Local town walk. A short stroll through a town along your route — church, plaza, local market, the everyday Costa Rica most travelers drive past.
- Option 2
Wildlife-watching stop. A brief stop at a spot where sloths, monkeys, toucans or crocodiles are commonly seen, depending on the corridor.
- Option 3
Scenic detour. A viewpoint, bridge or landscape worth leaving the main road for — your driver-guide picks the best one for the day's light and weather.
Part of every Discovery day
Lunch stop en route. Stop at a soda or family restaurant on the way — typical Costa Rican food picked by your driver-guide, meal paid on site.
Scenic photo stops. Pull over at the best viewpoints along your route instead of driving past them.
Specific options depend on the route and the season — your driver-guide adapts the plan to daylight, weather and your group's pace.
Discovery adds about 3 extra hours to the drive: one experience of your choice plus a relaxed lunch stop. Tell us your pick at checkout or decide with your driver-guide on the day.
Best departure 8:00–9:00 AM. Pick Standard or Discovery at checkout — same reservation, no separate booking.
Meals, entrance fees and tour tickets are paid by the passenger on site. The Discovery service includes the private shuttle, the bilingual driver-guide, the coordinated stops and the on-board welcome kit listed below.
