Safe and Friendly transportation
We used Jade tours to take us from Arenal to Manuel Antonio. Rodrigo was a friendly, knowledgeable guide. He knew a lot about the area and got us there safely and quickly. We liked him so much, we requested him for our ride from Manuel Antonio back to the airport. They were very responsive and flexible when our times needed changed. Don’t hesitate to use them for your travel needs.

Terrible customer service
I have been very disappointed with my interactions with Jade Tours. Their website states cheaper prices than what they quoted me when I reached out to them on WhatsApp. Their website doesn't indicate different prices depending on the number of people who book. The website only shows that the booking needs to be a minimum of 2 people. It would have been fine if they would have politely responded explaining to me that there is an actual price difference and it's not clearly stated on the website. Instead, the person who responded was so rude! This person responded to me as if I'm stupid and I should assume that there would be a price difference. Anyway, there are plenty of tour companies in Costa Rica who have been very polite when I've reached out. It's unfortunate that this company has such rude staff.
Response from the operator: Dear client, Your review is completely a big lie. Because we weren't rude at all with you. Yes, we offer a transportation with crocodile tour package. Although, this is a shared service tour. When you contacted us through WhatsApp, we politely explained you that it wasn't possible to open this service with only 2 people and you kept being insistent mentioning that "this was a bummer", so our receptionist tried to explain that obviously, it wasn't the same charging six people than just two. Your reaction to the word "obviously" was overreacting, saying that we have tried to say that you are stupid. Honestly, I have no idea if you really are. Although with your reaction we can tell that you may have some anxious syndrome troubles. We contacted the TripAdvisor Content Integrity Department to remove your review, as we have the WhatsApp conversation history and we can show that you are lying and your review its more a comment to damage us just because you didn't like us. It's a shame that a person like you tries to damage a local business without a real reason. On the other hand you didn't have our transportation service to give us a real qualification. Hope you can survive in this world! Kind regards!! Mario Brenes

Private One Way Transfer from Arenal, La Fortuna to Manuel Antonio: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for La Fortuna.
How much does Private One Way Transfer from Arenal, La Fortuna to Manuel Antonio cost?
+
Prices start at $195 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in La Fortuna usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Private One Way Transfer from Arenal, La Fortuna to Manuel Antonio take?
+
Plan for about 5 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in La Fortuna is not rushed.
Is Private One Way Transfer from Arenal, La Fortuna to Manuel Antonio worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 52 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (3.7/5 across 3 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in La Fortuna, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Private One Way Transfer from Arenal, La Fortuna to Manuel Antonio?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is Private One Way Transfer from Arenal, La Fortuna to Manuel Antonio suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 5-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Private One Way Transfer from Arenal, La Fortuna to Manuel Antonio?
+
Around 1 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in La Fortuna can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in La Fortuna and add a light layer if any part of the 5-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Private One Way Transfer from Arenal, La Fortuna to Manuel Antonio start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central La Fortuna within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in La Fortuna?
+
On Outty we rank every La Fortuna experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Upper Balsa River White Water Rafting Class 3/4 in Costa Rica, White Water Rafting Class II and III, Authentic Coffee and Chocolate Tour at North Fields. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit La Fortuna?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in La Fortuna?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
