You will need to make arrangements (we can help!) for transportation to and from the airport to Nosara. There are three basic options:

1) Fly to Nosara from Liberia on a Nature Air Flight
The LIR to Nosara Flights are typically around 3:00 pm – Costa Rica Yoga Spa provides free transportation from Nosara Airport to the Retreat.
2) Take a Shared Shuttle to Nosara
The Shared Shuttle leaves LIR around 1:45 pm and costs about $50/pp 
3) Take a Private Shuttle to Nosara
Private Shuttles can leave at any time and cost $135 for up to 6 people

If you would like to have us book a private shuttle for you, let us know in the Travel Plan Survey above and we will help coordinate getting that booked individually or with other members of the retreat that might arrive at a similar time.

Please note that the shuttle driver will accept payment when they drop you in Nosara and they accept either USD or Colones (cash) and not credit cards. For a private shuttle, it is common to tip around $20 (total, not per person) to your driver, but this is optional.

If you are taking a private shuttle, you can also ask the driver to stop at a convenience store on the way to pick up some water, snacks, etc. They would be happy to make a quick stop for you.

The drive to Nosara can be between 2.5 and 3.5 hours depending on road conditions, weather, and traffic. It’s a beautiful drive and you are sure to enjoy it.

Arriving From Other Locations

If you will be coming to Nosara from a different location we can help arrange that travel for you as well. For example, if you are flying to Costa Rica a few days early, we can arrange for transportation from your location to Nosara, just let us know how we can help. The same applies if you are staying in Costa Rica longer than the 17th.

Need Suggestions or Advice about Costa Rica?

If you are planning on arriving a few days early or staying a few days longer and would like some advice about where to consider staying that is somewhat near either Nosara or Liberia, let us know and we can offer some suggestions for you.
