Land & Boat Transfer to Tortuguero

One booking for the road-and-boat journey

Tortuguero has no road connection for the final leg. This service combines an early shared shuttle from the San José area with the boat segment into Tortuguero, allowing you to travel with your luggage without arranging the two portions separately.

What to expect

The overland route crosses the Caribbean side of Costa Rica before reaching the departure dock. Transfer to a covered or open passenger boat for the final water journey through lowland waterways. Wildlife may appear along the route, but this is transportation rather than a dedicated wildlife tour, and sightings are never guaranteed.

The published schedule lists daily service, generally leaving toward Tortuguero around 6:00 a.m. and arriving around 11:00 a.m. Adventure Inn's existing pickup field is 5:35 a.m.; confirm the exact hotel pickup, dock, boat and final drop-off before departure.

Choose the correct endpoint

Tortuguero village and surrounding lodges do not all share the same dock. Confirm whether the service ends at the village, a main dock or your lodge, and arrange any additional boat if needed. The reverse route and connections toward Arenal or Puerto Viejo are also subject to confirmation.
