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.

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!!
