Monteverde to Samara shuttle: 4 hours, door-to-door

Four hours, one van, Monteverde cloud forest to Samara beach

A shared shuttle departs Monteverde and travels 4 hours to Samara Beach, with pickup from your hotel, hostel or vacation rental and drop-off at your accommodation in the Samara area. The van is air-conditioned and driven by a certified operator. Rocaverde has run this route for 20 years with official permits and insurance.

The experience

The shuttle picks you up at your lodging in the Monteverde cloud forest area and drives you south to Samara Beach. The van seats multiple passengers and includes air conditioning for the journey. Rocaverde has been operating in Monteverde for two decades, so the drivers know the road and the timing is reliable. You travel with other passengers heading the same direction, which keeps the cost lower than a private transfer.

The route ends with drop-off at your hotel, hostel or vacation rental in the Samara area, so you don't need to arrange onward transport from a central terminal. The driver speaks English or Spanish depending on the departure you book. Wheelchair accessibility is available, and the van can accommodate infants in specialized seats or strollers if you're traveling with small children.
