Liberia Airport to Nosara Shuttle

Private transfer from Liberia Airport (LIR) to Nosara. 120–130 km · 2 h 45 min – 3 h 30 min · from $190

Nosara is just under three hours from Liberia Airport and the last section of road is unpaved and rough in places. It is the route where arriving in a driven van instead of a rental car makes the most obvious difference, particularly in the green season.

Will absolutely use again on my next trip.

Before you message us

The five things travellers ask before they book.

How do I pay?
Cash when you board, or PayPal in advance (a 13% tax applies to PayPal payments). No deposit required for cash bookings.
What if my flight is delayed?
We track your flight with the number you give us and adjust to your real arrival time. Delays are on us, not you.
Do you have car seats for kids?
Yes, on request at no charge. Costa Rican law doesn't require them for this type of transport, but we're happy to provide one — just mention it when you book.
How far in advance should I book?
Two days ahead is ideal, especially in high season. We take last-minute bookings whenever we have a vehicle available, so it never hurts to ask.
Where do I meet the driver?
Right outside the arrivals exit. Your driver will be holding a sign with your name.

  • I enjoyed a very efficient and friendly transit between the JW Marriott in Guanacaste and the airport in Liberia …. The driver arrived timely and was excellent and very helpful. I felt completely safe and my luggage was treated gently. I definitely plan on using the Guana Shuttle Service again the next time I visit! Highest Recommendation!!
