Private Airport Transfer to Manuel Antonio, Quepos

Get from the airport to your hotel without navigating unfamiliar roads

A private transfer from San José airport to Manuel Antonio with a bilingual driver in a new, air-conditioned vehicle. Your driver picks you up at the airport and takes you directly to your hotel, Airbnb or home, with stops for food or restrooms along the way if you need them. The price adjusts based on your exact destination within the Quepos area.

The experience

Manuel Antonio sits roughly 3 to 20 minutes from the airport depending on where your accommodation is, and a private transfer means you skip the line for shared shuttles and the confusion of arranging a taxi in an unfamiliar place. Your driver speaks both English and Spanish, so communication is straightforward from the moment you meet. The vehicle is new from 2025 and runs air conditioning throughout the drive, which matters on a hot Central Pacific afternoon.

The driver knows the roads well and works with tourists regularly, so the route is direct and safe. If you need to stop for food or a bathroom break on the way, that's built into the service. Just let the driver know. Soft drinks, soda and bottled water are included, so you can stay hydrated during the ride without asking.

This is a family operation, and that shows in how they handle each booking. The price varies depending on how far your specific hotel or rental is from the airport, so confirm your exact destination when you book to get an accurate quote.
