About this route
You leave the terminal and head south through Guanacaste's cattle country, passing small towns and open pasture. The road is paved most of the way, with a few single-lane stretches through villages.
Tamarindo is the busiest beach town in the area: surf shops, restaurants and a long beach lined with hotels. Traffic slows as you reach town, especially at sunset and on weekends.
Your driver meets you at arrivals, tracks your flight if it runs late, and takes you straight to your hotel or rental.
What to know before you go
Tamarindo is busiest from December to April. Book your transfer early for those months.
Guanacaste is hot by midday. Keep water in the vehicle for the ride.
Streets near the beach are narrow. Share your lodging's exact address so the driver finds the right entrance.
Late arrival? Send your flight number and we'll track it so your driver adjusts.
Staying outside the center, in Langosta or Playa Grande? Tell us ahead of time; both are a few minutes from town.
