Tambor to San José via Taxi Boat – Scenic and Time-Saving Transfer

Efficient Travel from the Nicoya Peninsula to Costa Rica’s Capital

The route from Tambor to San José via taxi boat and shared shuttle offers a fast, scenic, and well-organized way to travel from the Nicoya Peninsula to the Central Valley. Ideal for travelers heading to San José hotels or San José International Airport (SJO), this service bypasses long land and ferry routes with a smooth combination of sea and land transport.

Taxi Boat Across the Gulf of Nicoya

Your journey begins with a short ground transfer from your hotel in Tambor to the dock near Paquera. There, you’ll board a high-speed, professionally operated taxi boat for a 45-minute ride across the Gulf of Nicoya to Herradura, near Jacó. The crossing offers breathtaking views and the chance to spot dolphins, sea birds, and other wildlife.

Shared Shuttle to San José

Upon arrival at the dock in Herradura, a shared shuttle continues the journey to San José. The drive typically takes 2 to 2.5 hours, depending on traffic, and is conducted in air-conditioned vehicles by bilingual, licensed drivers. Drop-offs are available at major hotels or directly at San José International Airport (SJO).

Advance Reservation Required

Due to limited capacity and coordination between boat and shuttle segments, a confirmed reservation is required in advance. Early booking ensures availability and proper scheduling, especially during peak season.
