Private Transfer La Fortuna Arenal with Bilingual Driver

One driver, your schedule, your stops along the way

Private transfer to La Fortuna and Arenal with a bilingual driver in a comfortable, air-conditioned vehicle. The operator coordinates pickup time and location with you before departure, meets you with a name sign at the airport if needed, and makes brief stops along the route when you ask. Service runs one to four hours depending on your starting point and destination.

The experience

This is not a shuttle shared with other travelers. You book a private vehicle and driver for your group alone, which means the pickup time, the route and any stops belong to you. The driver speaks both English and Spanish, handles your luggage at every seat, and drives an air-conditioned car built for comfort over long stretches. Once you book, the operator calls to confirm how many people are traveling, where you're starting from, and what time works for your schedule: airport pickups include a driver waiting at your agreed point with a sign bearing your name.

The route itself is flexible. Most transfers run between one and four hours depending on whether you're coming from the airport, another town, or a nearby hotel. Along the way, you can ask the driver to stop briefly if something catches your eye or if you need a break. In some cases, the vehicle arrives stocked with a bottle of wine or drinking water. Parking fees are covered, so there are no surprise charges when you reach your destination.
