Private Transportation from Tamarindo to Rio Celeste

If you are vacationing along Guanacaste’s Gold Coast in Tamarindo, Playa Langosta, Playa Avellanas, or Playa Grande, traveling inland to Tenorio Volcano National Park takes approximately 2.5 to 3 hours each way. Rather than spending your day navigating unfamiliar country roads or driving back after an active hike, you can reserve private, door-to-door van transportation for your group — taking you directly from your Tamarindo hotel or rental villa to Rio Celeste and back.

What’s Included

  • ✅ Private, executive air-conditioned van — dedicated exclusively to your group
  • ✅ Door-to-door pickup directly from your Tamarindo, Langosta, or Avellanas hotel or rental villa
  • ✅ Round-trip transfer, returning you safely to the coast after your day on the trails or river
  • ✅ Professional driver accustomed to regional roads and matched to your tour schedule
Please note: this transportation is a separate add-on to your tour booking, not included by default, and operates on limited daily availability. We recommend booking your private transfer at the same time you reserve your guided tours. Check availability for your travel dates.

Why Book Private Transfers from Tamarindo to Rio Celeste
