Landing at Liberia but staying near Manuel Antonio? Let your driver handle the long haul while you settle in: the route runs south through Guanacaste’s dry plains, past the Gulf of Nicoya, then along the coastal highway that links Tárcoles — where crocodiles gather beneath the famous bridge — with Jacó and Playa Hermosa before reaching Quepos, the laid-back harbor town at the doorstep of Manuel Antonio National Park. It’s a good stretch of road, which is exactly where a private transfer shines: lunch when you’re hungry, a beach lookout when the light is right, groceries before check-in. At the end, rainforest tumbles down to pale-sand coves with some of Costa Rica’s best wildlife watching. Flat rate per vehicle for 1–5 passengers; +$15 per additional passenger from the 6th (max. 9).
