Taxi Boat La Fortuna Arenal to Monteverde

The Boat Transfer (commonly known as the Taxi-Boat-Taxi or Jeep-Boat-Jeep) is the fastest way and a very
scenic means of travel between the Arenal Vocano and the cloud forests of Monteverde -- this is one of the best ways to travel in Costa Rica! Take advantage of the scenic route on this Costa Rica transfer!

This transfer service starts with one of our friendly drivers stopping by your Monteverde hotel to pick you up. You then load up your luggage, take your seat and then drive past the Arenal Volcano and over the earthen dam along the pristine, Lake Arenal.

You will then unload your luggage and walk down a rather steep, cement ramp to get to the large, pontoon-style, comfortable boat on Lake Arenal. Your boat is roof-covered and safe and equipped with life-jackets and a knowledgeable, friendly boat captain. 

Your Lake Arenal boat captain will then start up the motor and you'll have a nice, leisurely boat ride along the smooth, calm and very picturesque Lake Arenal with great views of the Arenal Volcano. You'll also have amazing birdwatching opportunities along the way as you pass by isolated, remote Lake Arenal islands filled with herons, cormorants, anhingas -- you might even be able to spot an elusive river otter or coaties along the way.

Once you get to the other side of Lake Arenal, there will be another van waiting for you for this stretch of the Costa Rica transportation. Your boat captain will try to point you in the
right direction. Please be sure to grab all your luggage and make your way to the correct van for your journey up to La Fortuna. 

You will be taken to the doorstep of your La Fortuna hotel to check-in, and enjoy the rustic elegance of this beautiful Costa Rica mountain town.
There's plenty to see and do in Monteverde & La Fortuna -- from delicious restaurants to cozy Costa Rica coffee shops.

The boat transfer operates in either direction and you get great views of the Arenal Volcano and the unspoiled and tropical Lake Arenal. 

Please note: We charge an additional pick up and/or drop off fee for a few La Fortuna hotels located outside our  normal pick up areas. Let us know where you need to be picked up and dropped off and we will tell you if any additional charges are involved
