Tambor to San José Hotels via Taxi Boat – Fast and Scenic Transfer
Efficient Sea-to-City Travel from the Nicoya Peninsula to the Central Valley
The transfer from Tambor to San José hotels via taxi boat and shared shuttle offers a comfortable, time-saving, and scenic way to travel from Costa Rica’s Nicoya Peninsula to the capital region. This well-coordinated service combines a high-speed boat ride across the Gulf of Nicoya with a ground transfer to your hotel in San José, bypassing the need for a long overland journey.
Step 1: Taxi Boat from Tambor to Herradura
Your journey begins with a brief ground transfer from your hotel in Tambor to the boat launch area near Paquera. You’ll then board a high-speed taxi boat for a 45-minute crossing of the Gulf of Nicoya to Herradura, just north of Jacó. The crossing offers panoramic ocean views and frequent sightings of dolphins and other marine life.
Step 2: Shared Shuttle to San José Hotels
Upon arrival at the Herradura dock, a shared shuttle will be waiting to transport you directly to your hotel in San José, Escazú, or nearby areas. The ride takes approximately 2 to 2.5 hours, depending on traffic, and is conducted in an air-conditioned vehicle by a bilingual, licensed driver.
Advance Reservation Required
Because this journey involves coordination between boat and shuttle services, a confirmed reservation is required in advance. Early booking is recommended to ensure seat availability and seamless connections.
