Our daily shuttles offer a safe, convenient, and economical way to travel between the most popular destinations in Costa Rica.

Travel easy and fun between Arenal and Monteverde on this Arenal Lake Crossing experience. This is the quickest and most popular route. The trip combines comfortable door-to-door minivan transfer with a fun and scenic cruise across the beautiful Lake Arenal, where you will experience amazing views of the majestic Arenal Volcano.

Shuttle service is a shared transportation option in an air-conditioned minibus (or coaster) between popular destinations.

Shuttle routes operate daily, and in some cases there are multiple departure times throughout the day. However, shuttles are by no means a public bus.

All the vehicles used for shuttle transportation are air conditioned, well-maintained minibuses (passenger vans) driven by reliable and punctual Costa Rican bilingual professionals, who are eager to help you move safely around the country.

Additional Info

Specialized infant seats are available

Suitable for all physical fitness levels

Approximate pickup time depends on the pickup location.

All children must be accompanied by an adult.

All shared shuttles include a 10 minute rest stop where passengers can stretch, use the facilities, and get a snack. This stop may be a connection stop or may involve a change of vehicle depending on the route.

Please provide the pickup location so we can give you an approximate pickup time.

Please be ready 15 minutes before the confirmed pickup time.

Please provide the drop off location.

The pickup time may vary without notice depending on road traffic and other pick-ups.

The driver will wait a maximum of 10 minutes at the pickup location for a passenger traveling on shared shuttles. If passenger doesn't show 10 minutes passed the pickup time they will be considered No Show and 100% of the service will be charged.

Sometimes a particular hotel is located outside the area’s main hotel zone, and the shuttle will not provide door-to-door service. In these cases, a taxi can take you and your group to the shuttle pickup location or your final hotel stop.

Morning shared shuttles are operated with a minimum of 2 passengers. If you are only 1 passenger, you can still check for availability since it is possible that we have more passengers on that same date/time and thus accommodate your reservation at the closest time/date available.

Afternoon shared shuttles are operated with a minimum of 4 passengers. If you have fewer passengers, you can still check for availability since it is possible that we have more passengers on that same date/time and thus accommodate your reservation at the closest time/date available.

Please provide us with the departure time, and exact name of the pick-up and drop-off locations (airport, hotel, private home, or identifiable landmark in Costa Rica). Otherwise, we can't completely confirm the booking until we have all this info.

Cancellation Policy

All sales are final. No refund is available for cancellations.

What To Expect

For group sizes of one, two, and sometimes three people, shuttle service is a convenient and economical way to travel. For nearly all the shuttle transportation routes, there is at least one stop along the way where passengers can stretch, use the facilities, and get a snack. In most cases, shuttle transport provides door-to-door service, picking passengers up at hotels in the starting destination and dropping them off at hotels in the final destination. We will gladly pick you up from your hotel in Monteverde, then you will get transported by a comfortable vehicle to the lake, where you will board a safe and fully insured boat for approximately one hour across the lake. Once you reach the other side, one of our professional drivers will take you to your hotel in Arenal on a comfortable vehicle. However, sometimes a particular hotel is located outside the area’s main hotel zone, and the shuttle will not provide this door-to-door service. In these cases, a taxi can take you and your group to the shuttle pickup location or your final hotel stop.

  • Good way to get from La Fortuna to Monteverde

    Barbara G,,Nov 12, 2025

    - Review from Viator

    Everything went smoothly, from pickup at our hotel to drop off at the boat to pickup on the river side of the lake and dropoff at our lodging. The boat ride was maybe an hour in a simple vessel and was easy and uneventful. The ride from the lake to Monteverde was an adventure in itself as the roads were narrow, rutted from rain and use, and we even crossed a small river that was overflowing on a narrow bridge. The driver was amazingly accomplished through the entire two hours (which included a short break at a coffee shop). All the people working on this trip were very competent and we trusted them to deliver us safely.

  • Transport but is like an experiential tour

    The drive itself is an experience. I am thankful I’m not the driver. The scenery was incredible and our driver was most courteous and tried to give us a chance to see some interesting things. The boat ride was good and gave us another opportunity just to look and experience the views of arenal lake and volcano
