SJO Airport Shuttle: Frequently Asked Questions

How long is the drive from SJO Airport to Tamarindo?

About 4.5 to 5 hours by van, with a rest stop along the way if you'd like one.

Should I fly into LIR or SJO for Guanacaste?

LIR (Liberia) is much closer to the Guanacaste coast, but SJO often has more international flight options. Either way, we run a direct transfer from arrivals straight to your hotel.

Does the driver wait if my international flight is delayed?

Yes. We track your flight in real time, so a late landing never causes a missed pickup.

Can we stop along the way from SJO?

Yes, free stops for food, coffee, or photos are included on request — just tell your driver.
