Travel Experience

This is a long overland journey from the tropical South Pacific coast to the mountainous Arenal area. The shuttle travels north from Uvita before continuing inland toward La Fortuna, with highway sections followed by slower and more winding roads near the destination. No ferry crossing is involved.

Because this is shared transportation, the total duration may include coordinated pickups, drop-offs, and a rest stop. Traffic near major junctions, rain, and roadwork can also affect arrival time. Keep your travel day flexible and avoid scheduling time-sensitive activities immediately after your expected arrival in La Fortuna.

Pickup and Schedule Notes

Shared shuttles operate at fixed departure times, and every passenger must reserve a seat in advance. Select your date to view current booking-calendar availability and the pickup information offered for your trip.

Be ready at the confirmed meeting point before the scheduled pickup window. Collection times may vary slightly as the van gathers other passengers in the Uvita area. When connecting from another transfer or checking out of a hotel, allow enough time to meet the fixed schedule. This service should not be paired with a tight same-day flight connection.

• No ferry is needed between Uvita and La Fortuna.
