Travelling to Santa Teresa on the Nicoya Peninsula, Costa Rica. Here's how to get there from San Jose, your various travel options and the costs involved with getting to Santa Teresa:
Itinerary:
- North Coast Dominican Republic (Playa Encuentro) to Santo Domingo: 4.5 hours via Caribe Tours bus ($7)
- Flight (via Panama) to San Jose: 2.5 hours to Panama, 2 hour layover and 1.5 hours to San Jose via Copa Airlines ($269, plus $177 for a surfboard bag!)
- 1.5 hour taxi from San Jose to Puntarenas to get the ferry ($26.5)
- 70 minute ferry from Puntarenas to Paquera, Nicoya Peninsula ($1.5 or 800 Colones)
- 1.25 hour taxi from ferry landing at La Nicoya to Santa Teresa beach ($14)
Once you get to San Jose there are other options to get to Santa Teresa. You can get the bus which costs $12 but takes 6 hours, not including the wait for the bus or the cost of a taxi to the bus station from the airport.
Alternatively you can either fly, or take a taxi speedboat from Jaco. Although this would depend on the time that you arrive in San Jose as a lot of the taxi boats leave in the morning.

Most informative yet....and funny.....liked the hairdo!
Much appreciated!
Thank you for valuable information video!
@dronkotube No worries! Have you been to La Fortuna?
Love the video!! Pura vida brother
@Vincente Tonelli - Thanks man!
Any Q&A video soon?😉 watched all your videos so far. you journey seems pretty interesting😀
@Grzegorz D. At some point yes, although I think I'll wait for the channel to grow a bit more as it's still in its infancy (or if more people ask for one). If you do have any questions just fire away!
Safe flight and comeback soon.
@Ricardo Vasquez many thanks and I appreciate all of the tips!
Well, you found the best area of CR to visit or live in. If you get a chance, take an ATV over to Montezuma. A little laid back hippy haven. Santa Teresa is great. Enjoy the people and the surf.
@Joe Lapierre yeah I'm a big fan of the area. We're hiring an ATV this week to explore Montezuma and also places like playa hermosa that are just a little too far on foot.....ATVs are expensive here though ($60-70 USD a day)! Know any good rental places???
@@WiththeSparrows you can try Valerio's (a local Tico family run business) +506 8332 9205 facebook.com/ATV-Valerios-Rental-103058664793746/ most places will charge you about 60 USD per day for an ATV, so not overly cheap.
@@WiththeSparrows also try Cabuya. Great beaches there also and the first National Park (Reserva Natural Cabo Blanco) in Costa Rica.
@@theruggedtravelers thanks a lot! Will check them out. I've been to Cabuya before and found a right hand point break that I need to surf again. Will be making some videos about it in the next week or so. Thanks again!
Super helpful thank you! Was it simple getting the taxi from San Jose to Puntarenas or did you book someone ahead?
@Robert Parker glad you found it useful! Simple would be an understatement, we were going to get a taxi from the Juan Santamaría airport to the bus station and when we got in the taxi he simply offered to drive us to Puntarenas instead.
There are lots of taxis at the airport so you won't have any trouble finding someone who wants to take you to Puntarenas (or elsewhere), you just have to be prepared to pay the price!
@@WiththeSparrows Awesome, thank you
hello!!!!! HOLAA ! Thank u for this awesome videooo! I am travelling to Santa Teresa in november, do yo remeber the bus scheduele?
@Delfina Anneleri - You can use GuateGo to check your options (guatego.com/). From memory I think they leave, starting at 6.30am but stop at around midday. Maybe every hour or two but I'm not entirely sure.
@@WiththeSparrows thank you so much!!
Sick man, how long you in costa for?
I’ll probably be there early April too. Also airlines are scammers always do your research what air line has no charge for surfboards.
@Bryan Bonilla in Costa Rica till at least 3rd or 4th April then might head to Nicaragua but I'm fairly flexible. Where are you going to be?
Unfortunately the flight options were fairly limited and most airlines charge you for surfboards for short haul flights - you just have to accept it!
@@WiththeSparrows I’ll be in Turrialba, a little mountain town in middle of the country for a bit. Working on a rental property I bought. Then I’ll probably head to the Caribbean side there are cool surf spots there as well.
@Bryan Bonilla nice, sounds like you've got a plan. Yeah I've heard the Caribbean side is really nice, but not quite a consistent. Plus I've just spent three months in the Caribbean so quite enjoying the Pacific side at the moment. Probably going to be in Santa Teresa area for the next couple of weeks. If I'm in your area at all in April I'll give you a shout!
@@WiththeSparrows I’m leaving tonight and should be in San Jose tommorow. I’ll be at Jaco for a few days. I’ll go back to the middle of the country to get some guys to work on my rental then head to Tamarindo on the 9th to the 14.
What's the name of the port? Looking through the same thing in August and definitely can't drive 6 hrs to Santa Teresa.
@Mrs. D. Which port? The ferry leaves from Puntarenas on the mainland and arrives in Paquera on the Nicoya Peninsula side. You can also fly from San Jose to Tambor (I believe it's about $100 USD each way and takes about 35 minutes!).
Do you remember where exactly in Puntarenas do you have to go to catch the ferry ? I’m traveling to Costa Rica without renting a car.
@Tyasia Shamblee - ummm it's just the ferry port in Puntarenas, if you're getting a taxi there then they will know where it is. Otherwise the bus goes directly to the port.
Here's a Google Maps link: goo.gl/maps/8i6z6FVsKnjU4FLT7
Also, I saw a comment on the location of the tide pools in Mal Paìs but can't seem to find it now. It doesn't come up on Google Maps but if you head South from Playa Carmen and then take a right after the yoga place on your left, you head down to the beach. Take a left across the rocks for about 500m and the tide pools are there.
Enjoy!
@@WiththeSparrows Ok, yes we are going to get a taxi or Uber to Puntarenas to catch the ferry at the port. Then a taxi or Uber from the port to Santa Teresa Just like you did. To hopefully shred sometime. Thank you so much for responding your videos are super helpful!
@@tyasiashamblee8146 no worries, glad you found them helpful! Are you going to have time to go to La Fortuna or Monteverde?
@@WiththeSparrows Yes, La Fortuna. The 2nd place we are staying at is like a 30 min ride from La Fortuna so we will be doing a couple activities there was well. I already checked out your video on that!
@@WiththeSparrows We are on our way to go check out that Tide pool from one of your videos now, super excited lol!
should have rented a car drove to the port put car on ferry and drove to santa teresa and elsewhere while there...still cheaper
@Doug Dileo good point, although I was under the impression that you couldn't really pick up in San Jose and drop off in Santa Teresa? We're here for a little while and didn't want to have to pay for a car the whole time.
Blabbers mouth for 4 minutes 30 seconds. Video begins. Your welcome.
@The Josiah Show - can't deny that. I'll claim it as creative license and providing context!
