Need a ride to or from Hotel Banana Azul? We drive it privately, door to door. One driver, one vehicle, just your group: he waits for you with a name sign, follows your flight if it is delayed, and drops you at the hotel entrance. The price is per vehicle and taxes are already in it.
Prices in USD per vehicle (1–5 passengers, Hyundai Staria). For a group of 4 that works out to about $80 per person. Larger vehicles up to 12 passengers available — see all vehicles & prices.
Between San Jose Airport (SJO) and Puerto Viejo we take Route 32: across Braulio Carrillo National Park through the Zurquí tunnel, down to Guápiles, and along the coast past Limón and Cahuita.
Paved, but the mountain section can close in with rain or fog and there is a lot of truck traffic.
The Caribbean keeps its own weather - clear mornings and showers in the afternoon - so we leave early.
“Exceptional and super efficient service! Carlos drove my wife, son, and I from Puerto Viejo to San Jose. Carlos is a great driver, very friendly, and he taught us so much about Costa Rica along the way. He even made some stops for us to get some photos and enjoy some of the country's beauty.”
Instant pricing, free cancellation up to 48h, and a driver waiting for you with a sign.
The same driver and the same flat price per vehicle, from the door of Hotel Banana Azul to anywhere else on your itinerary:
