About this experience

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.

What you'll do

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.
