Travelling by Tourist Shuttle
Travelling by Tourist Shuttle
Tourist shuttles in Costa Rica are an increasingly popular mode of transportation for visitors seeking a convenient and eco-friendly way to explore the country. When you don’t want to drive in foreign country with more challenging road conditions then you are used to or prefer to be driven around to enjoy the landscape without having to keep your eyes on the road, tourist shuttles are a great alternative for renting a car. With comfortable seating and door-to-door service, tourist shuttles make navigating Costa Rica's tropical terrain stress-free while letting passengers soak in the scenic beauty along the way. Also, for travelers who do not want to rely on public transport and prefer more direct connections between touristic destinations, shuttles are a great option.
Shuttles typically operate as shared services, connecting the major tourist destinations. They offer flexibility, reasonable pricing, and the chance to meet fellow travelers. Note for those who are travelling alone, it might be the case that shuttle operators require a minimum number of passengers per shuttle to offer an affordable price or even to only deploy the shuttle when a minimum number of passengers is reached. In addition to this kind of shared tourist shuttles, private shuttles and private drivers are also an option. If you are not with a large group, the price per person can be quite high.
