Getting there & away
All transportation is geared to the arrival and departure of the Puntarenas ferry, so don’t worry – if either is running late, the other will wait.

Bus
Buses meet the ferry and take passengers to Nicoya (US$1.75, three hours). Departures are at approximately 7:20am, 12:20pm, 4:50pm and 8:50pm.
Regular buses ride from Paquera to Montezuma, though there are none that go southeast from here.
Car & taxi
It’s possible to get to Paquera via a scenic, bumpy and steep dirt road with some great vistas of Bahía Gigante. For this a 4WD is recommended, especially in the rainy season when there are rivers to cross. The only public transportation is to take a 4WD taxi at about US$25, depending on the number of passengers and road conditions.
Boat
The Coonatramar ferry (661 1069; passenger US$2, car US$9) to Puntarenas operates daily at 7:30am, 12:30pm, 5pm and 9pm, and can accommodate both cars and passengers. The trip takes 1½ hours. If traveling by car, get out and buy a ticket at the window, reboard your car and then drive onto the ferry. You cannot buy a ticket onboard. Show up at least an hour early on holidays and busy weekends as you’ll be competing with a whole lot of other drivers to make it on.
