- From Quepos, we will arrange transport to the island (taxi and boat) for an additional $10 USD. Alternatively, someone from the project will meet you at the bus station, or it could be a taxi driver we know.
If you prefer to take a taxi from the airport, we can arrange it for you, but please note there will be an additional cost. Ask us for the price.

It’s an easy, fast, and secure process! Please bring a local SIM card, as reception is good but there is no Wi-Fi.
