    Great experience

    Great, easy experience. The van was clean and spacious. There were water and snacks offered to us. We were able to stop to use the bathroom, go to the grocery store, and eat at our convenience. The drive was scenic. We were able to see Arenal volcano. Highly recommend!

    Excellent service from Revekkah, genuinely lovely person too . Can highly recommend Sama transfers 🥰

    Actually it was a transfer with Revekkah from Monteverde to Manuel Antonio . What a lovely girl she was , the car was big with plenty of room to relax. This is a 4 hour trip minimally depending on traffic and for Revekkah double that as she lives in Manuel Antonio. Would highly recommend for any transfer activities. Traffic was pretty bad today at points being the weekend but she happily offered to stop if we wanted to see the crocs at crocodile bridge en route . We thanked her but kindly declined to let her get on her way . Great journey with her today ! 🥰

    Response from the operator: Hi ! Thank you so much for your comment! We really appreciate it! Pura vida!

    Great, easy transfer

    Driver very safe and thoughtful. On time. Stopped for us to use bathroom at a cute shop mid way. Road steep, narrow and windy. Would not want to drive that myself.

    Response from the operator: Hi ! Thank you so much for your comment! We really appreciate it! Pura vida!

    Relaxed trip into the mountains

    We had a relaxing drive from Manuel Antonio into the mountains. Rebeca, our driver, was super nice. She told us a lot about the country and its people and pointed out many beautiful views during the trip.

    Response from the operator: Thank you so much for your comment, we really appreciate it. Pura Vida !

    Our Driver Joshua Went Above and Beyond

    Our driver Joshua spoke both Spanish and English. He was prompt, friendly, enthusiastic, accommodating, and knowledgeable. The van was modern, comfortable, and spacious. We were amazed by how patient he was considering the driving conditions. Traffic often moved very slow, and there were very few passing zones. He was a safe driver that didn't do anything unsafe due to frustration. Upon arrival in Monteverde, it was discovered that the road to our hotel had been closed temporarily due to a Christmas parade. Without being asked, Joshua helped us walk our belongings about a half mile to our hotel. This included getting thru the crowd watching the parade and up a steep, long hill. And we don't travel light. Then he of course had to walk all the way back to the van. We were very happy with SAMA Transfers and our driver Joshua.

    Response from the operator: Hello !! We really appreciate your excellent comment about us thank you !! Pura Vida

    Private Shuttle from Manuel Antonio to Monteverde: questions travelers ask

    Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Quepos.

    How much does Private Shuttle from Manuel Antonio to Monteverde cost?

    +

    Prices start at $295 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Quepos usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.

    How long does Private Shuttle from Manuel Antonio to Monteverde take?

    +

    Plan for about 3 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 Quepos is not rushed.

    Is Private Shuttle from Manuel Antonio to Monteverde worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 54 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 5 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Quepos, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.

    Can I cancel or reschedule Private Shuttle from Manuel Antonio to Monteverde?

    +

    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 Shuttle from Manuel Antonio to Monteverde suitable for kids and families?

    +

    Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 3-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

    How far in advance should I book Private Shuttle from Manuel Antonio to Monteverde?

    +

    Around 2 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 Quepos 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 Quepos and add a light layer if any part of the 3-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does Private Shuttle from Manuel Antonio to Monteverde 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 Quepos 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 Quepos?

    +

    On Outty we rank every Quepos experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Full Day Waterfall Adventure, Manuel Antonio Canopy Tour - Longest Twin Zip Line in Central America, Manuel Antonio Park Tour and its Amazing Wildlife and Beaches. 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 Quepos?

    +

    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 Quepos?

    +

    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.

    What is included in Private Shuttle from Manuel Antonio to Monteverde?

    +

    Included: Water included. Not included: No smoking. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.

    Does Private Shuttle from Manuel Antonio to Monteverde include hotel pickup?

    +

    Yes, pickup is offered for every traveler from 83 listed pickup locations in and around Quepos. Be ready about 15 minutes before the start time. You can also enter a custom pickup address when booking.

    What languages is Private Shuttle from Manuel Antonio to Monteverde offered in?

    +

    It is offered in English and Spanish. Pick your language when choosing a date and time, as not every departure runs in every language.

    Will I get instant confirmation and a mobile ticket for Private Shuttle from Manuel Antonio to Monteverde?

    +

If accessibility is critical, contact the operator after booking to confirm arrangements for your date.
