Private day trips · From San José
One day.
One driver.
Your rules.
Volcanoes, coffee country and the Pacific — as a private day with your own vehicle and driver, not a bus schedule. Flexible stops, honest timing, and a written quote before you commit to anything.
01The days
Three ways to spend a day
Each one is your vehicle, your driver and your plan — these are starting points, not fixed schedules.
Have something else in mind — two spots in one day, a specific restaurant, a photography morning? Tell us the day you want and we'll quote it.
02Why private
Not a bus tour
A shared tour is the bus's day. This is yours — same country, completely different experience.
You set the pace
Stay the extra hour at the hot springs. Skip the souvenir stop entirely. Leave for sunset instead of mid-afternoon. The schedule bends to you, not the other way around.
Honest timing, up front
We publish real door-to-door hours for every day trip — including the driving. If a day is long, we say it's long before you book, not after.
Pay venues directly
Entrance fees aren't bundled and marked up. You pay each attraction directly and only for what you actually choose to do on the day.
A driver, not a script
Your driver is a Costa Rican who does these roads all the time — good food stops, viewpoints, straight answers. Attractions offer certified guides on site when you want deeper interpretation.
Door to door
Pickup and drop-off at your San José area hotel. No meeting points at 5:45 am, no being the last stop on a 14-passenger loop.
Written quote first
Tell us the day you want, get the total in writing, then decide. No payment to ask, no pressure to accept.
Tell us the day.
