Ground Transfer from San José Airport

The drive typically takes around 1.5 to 2 hours.

Taxi Boat Across the Gulf of Nicoya

From Herradura, passengers board a high-speed taxi boat for a 45-minute crossing to the Nicoya Peninsula. This leg of the journey offers breathtaking coastal views and, on occasion, sightings of marine wildlife such as dolphins and sea birds. The boat arrives near Tambor, with easy access to local accommodations and Tambor Airport (TMU).

Advance Reservation Required

Due to limited capacity and the need for coordination between shuttle and boat services, a confirmed reservation is required in advance. Early booking ensures seamless transfers and preferred travel times.
