Costa Rica TEFL would like to ensure that you experience a safe, hassle-free arrival in Costa Rica. As a result, we provide you with the information and assistance required to make your arrival in Costa Rica and Samara as smooth as possible.
Liberia
Liberia, which is a two-hour taxi ride to Samara, is the closest international airport to our beautiful beach town. If you choose to fly into Liberia, we are happy to arrange for a taxi to pick you up at the airport and bring you directly to your accommodations in Samara. Taxi rides from Liberia to Samara generally cost between $90-100.
San Jose
The Juan Santamaria International Airport in San Jose is the largest airport in Costa Rica. Although there are more flights into this airport, San Jose is located 5 hours from Samara. As a result, we recommend taking the Alfaro bus or Interbus.
Alfaro
The Alfaro bus station is located in downtown San Jose and leaves for Samara every day at 12:00 p.m. and 6:00 p.m. Those that choose to take Alfaro – only $8 for a ticket – are urged to arrive AT LEAST one hour prior to departure since seats quickly fill up.
Interbus
Interbus is a shuttle service that will pick you up at your hotel and drop you off in Samara. These shuttles generally leave around 9:00 a.m. daily and cost $40. For additional information or to book your seat, please visit click here.
