At Vida Tropical you will have our recommendations on the best way to travel around Costa Rica. We´ll give you specific information on tours, accommodation, transportation, bus schedules, best car rental rates and more.
Here are some of the tours we can arrange for you below.
FREELANCE TOURS
We have vans with drivers who can take you anywhere you want, in the Central Valley or touring around the country. They all have new and comfortable vehicles, and speak at least some English, some are quite fluent, all are insured and guaranteed to give good service.
Their rates are based on the trip you want to take, but for estimating purposes, assume about $10-15 an hour, or $80-120 for a full 8 hour day (pickup 8 AM, return 4 PM). These are not "package" tours, you sit down with the driver and tell him what you want to see and do, stop here or there to take pictures, go to the bathroom, stop for lunch where you want, at your own pace.
The van can be possibly shared with other Vida Tropical guests at your option to bring the price per person down a bit.
These drivers are also available for multi-day trips.
