- chrisbT694EW0 contributionsFamily VacationPlayaGrande was great, professional and added tremendous value to our Family's trip to Costa Rica. Our Driver/Guide Jose was FANTASTIC. Super insightful and he truly cared that we enjoyed ourselves. He really was great and exemplified the best of Pura Vida!!Written August 25, 2024
- 297staciem0 contributionsBest travel companyWe are a family of 16 and just returned from seven days in Costa Rica. We used PlayaGrande for our driving needs and all 16 of us cannot recommend them highly enough! Jose and Guillermo were our drivers and both did a phenomenal job; they were kind, friendly and funny. Jose became part of the family, and was a highlight of the trip! They thought of everything, and went above and beyond in making sure that our family had an amazing time!Written August 25, 2024
- Nj33330 contributionsHighly recommended - made our vacation!Playa Grande tour company was excellent, accommodating and friendly in the most 'pura vida' way! Our drivers, Jose and Giullermo were absolute gems - especially Jose who we were with for 4 days. He was so kind - a part of the family of 16! He helped us with so much and gave such great advice. Jose really made the trip special for us - Pura Vida! Our drivers were punctual and knew the timing of each drive so we could plan perfectly. They were happy to make adjustments so we could make a stop for convenience or a quick shop/snack. Well stocked cooler each time too. We got stuck in bad traffic on Jose's last day and didn't even frown, just smiled the entire time and was so so kind! We LOVED all of the excursions we booked through PlayaGrande - very safe, experienced staff, clean facilities, beautiful views and FUN! Our private boat tour was my personal favorite. The boat was immaculate, comfortable and the capitan/staff was excellent. We saw two whales, they led us snorkeling and on a hike on the island and cooked an excellent lunch. The ziplining and horseback riding at Vistas Los Suenos Adventure park were excellent as well - beautiful area, friendly staff who were very experienced at each activity.Written August 25, 2024
- juliesZ4925EV0 contributionsHighly RecommendWe recently returned from our trip to the beautiful Costa Rica - we used Playa Grande Shuttle & Tours Costa Rica for both pick up from the airport to our resort (approx 1.5 hours away) as well as back to the airport at the end of our trip. The booking process was smooth and the company was extremely responsive. Both trips were seamless from pick up as soon as we left baggage claim at the airport to waiting for us at the front door of our resort to head back home. Both drivers were excellent drivers, very friendly and provided history and information on our rides. We highly recommend this company!Written July 30, 2024

- marisacV7549CF0 contributionsHighly Recommend!I feel so lucky to have found Playa Grande Shuttles & Tours. We used several of their services during our recent trip to Costa Rica including a planning a day long itinerary with a driver as well as two tours and a return trip to the airport. Everything was great. They were highly responsive and very easy to work with. Thank you to the whole team!Written April 15, 2024
- 83chantelj0 contributionsBest Shuttle and Tour CoGreat experiences each and every time. We went on several tours -waterfall tour, adventure combo tour (which I highly recommend for active adults and teens) and also did the sports fishing on the Striker boat. Boat was amazing with open bar and great homemade snacks. Caught several fish which they cleaned for us and which we ate for dinner that night. Shuttle service was excellent every time. They picked us up each time with a cooler full of beer, water and other drinks. Our driver Guillermo not only was there waiting for us at the airport when our flight was 3 hours late but even made a special stop for us when we saw a brewery and wanted to stop in for a beer. Ride was always punctual, clean, safe, and air conditioned. Highly recommend.Written April 1, 2024

- U7096SGdawnp0 contributionsFun family activityExciting experience. Good quality equipment. Snorkeling beaches were nice but beware not a lot of time is spent at each beach so it was better spent as a swim in the water.Written March 14, 2024
- U7096SGdawnp0 contributionsJose is the best!We had an absolutely amazing time. Jose, our guide, was perfect with our kids. They were attracted to his friendliness and information right away. He was our driver for another excursion as well. He truly made our experience phenomenal. The refreshing swim in the waterfall was such a treat in the clear blue water. Overall this was a unique experience that all ages of our group enjoyed.Written March 14, 2024

Great experience. They drove my my family and I from the Holiday Inn Express by the SJO airport to Dominical. They were professional and reliable. The van was comfortable and had a great AC that kept us at a perfect temperature. I would definitely use them again!

Our holiday to Costa Rica was amazing. We booked private transfers with Playa grande Shuttle services. Our driver Charles picked us up promptly and his car was spacious. He gave us lots of info about CR . Our driver for our journey home was Ariel. He gave us a lovely sightseeing tour back to the airport. Once again his car was spacious with wifi so I could check what was happening with our flights. We would definitely use plays grande shuttles again.

Awesome! Guillermo was an excellent driver, very kind/accommodating, and let me pick his brain about all kinds of questions about Costa Rica and the culture. On top of that, they were very flexible with our flight delay and still picking us up for our shuttle to the hotel. Would definitely recommend!

FANTASTIC! We had a group of 32 people and spent 3-4 days with Ariel & Charles and had an absolute blast. They were patient and kind. They were knowledgable and spontaneous. They were perfect! They took us to LaPaz, La Fortuna Hanging Bridges, ATV'ing and to 3 absolutely brilliant lunch stops.
Bottom line, we have used them before and we will always use them! Stop your search and book these guys right now. They will be the best choice you made on this trip!
Thanks again boys...see you soon and PURA VIDA!

Worked with them to do a transfer from hotel near San Jose to Tamarindo hotel for a group, did an ATV/snorkel tour and then transfer back to SJO - everything was amazing! Great energy, great recommendations and super flexible. Helped several members of our group with other transfers and car rentals. Definitely looking forward to working with them again!
