I had no transfer to San jose
The transfer to the place indicated for the trip never arrived.Regrettable complicated me the return to San jose given that throughout the trip the viator application was excellent and of great help

Lamentamos sinceramente que su regreso a San José haya resultado complicado, ya que entendemos lo estresante que puede ser una situación así.

Good transfer back from Quepos to San Jose
Very very good drive with this company. The driver was very patient and did a great job. However; take this review with a grain of salt as this all depends on the driver.

Shared Shuttle from Manuel Antonio to San Jose: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Quepos.
How much does Shared Shuttle from Manuel Antonio to San Jose cost?
+
Prices start at $100 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 Shared Shuttle from Manuel Antonio to San Jose take?
+
Plan for about 0.1 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 Shared Shuttle from Manuel Antonio to San Jose worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 38 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (3/5 across 2 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable culture & history in Quepos, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Shared Shuttle from Manuel Antonio to San Jose?
+
No. This experience is sold on a non-refundable basis, so only book a date you are confident about. Similar experiences in the city do offer free cancellation if flexibility matters more than price.
Is Shared Shuttle from Manuel Antonio to San Jose suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 0.1-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Shared Shuttle from Manuel Antonio to San Jose?
+
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 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 0.1-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Shared Shuttle from Manuel Antonio to San Jose 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 Shared Shuttle from Manuel Antonio to San Jose?
+
Included: Water bottle; Hotel pickup and drop-off; On-board WiFi; Driver; and Airport drop-off. Not included: Gratuities. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.
Does Shared Shuttle from Manuel Antonio to San Jose include hotel pickup?
+
Yes, pickup is offered for every traveler from 56 listed pickup locations in and around Quepos. Be ready about 30 minutes before the start time. You can also enter a custom pickup address when booking.
What languages is Shared Shuttle from Manuel Antonio to San Jose 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 Shared Shuttle from Manuel Antonio to San Jose?
+

Is Shared Shuttle from Manuel Antonio to San Jose wheelchair or stroller accessible?
+
The operator notes: Specialized infant seats are available. If accessibility is critical, contact the operator after booking to confirm arrangements for your date.
