Caribe Shuttle Bocas del toro to Arena /La Fortuna

Getting from Bocas del Toro, Panama to Arenal / la Fortuna, Costa Rica has never been easier. We take care of everything. We even throw in breakfast. We will pick you up at the Bocas Marine Tours dock on main street in the heart of Bocas Town. You will take a 30 minute boat ride past some beautiful islands and mangroves to Almirante, where you will board one of our air conditioned late model shuttle vans direct to the border. From there we have our guide assist you with the immigration process leaving Panama and checking into Costa Rica. 

We then drive direct to Banana Azul where you will spend an hour or two having a buffet style breakfast and enjoying this beautiful little resort hotel on the beach in Puerto Viejo.

From here we pick you up and make the 5 1/2 hour trip direct to la Fortuna area hotels.
