Private Transportation from Papagayo to Rio Celeste

If you are staying at luxury resorts across the Gulf of Papagayo, Papagayo Peninsula, Playa Hermosa, Playa Panama, or Playas del Coco, driving inland to Tenorio Volcano National Park takes roughly 2 to 2.5 hours each way. Rather than navigating rental vehicles, toll routes, or unfamiliar mountain highways, you can add comfortable, private door-to-door van transportation to your private Rio Celeste tour — returning you smoothly back to your resort afterwards.

What’s Included

  • ✅ Private, air-conditioned executive van — never a shared shuttle with guests from other resorts
  • ✅ Direct door-to-door pickup from your Papagayo resort, villa, or hotel lobby
  • ✅ Round-trip option, returning you comfortably to your beach resort after the day’s adventure
  • ✅ Professional driver familiar with route conditions and your custom tour itinerary
Please note: this transportation is a separate add-on to your tour, not included by default, and operates on limited daily availability. We recommend requesting your private transfer at the same time you reserve your guided excursion. Check availability for your travel dates.
