San Jose to Bocas Del Toro (Caribe Shuttle, Boat & Lunch) Operated by Caribe Shuttle

Getting from San Jose, Costa Rica to Bocas del Toro, Panama has never been
easier. We take care of everything. We even throw in Lunch. We will pick

you up at Denny's restaurant at the airport, or many of the hotels in
the downtown San Jose area in an air conditioned late model shuttle
van. 

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

From here we pick you
up and make the 1 hour trip to the border. Our guide will be there to
assist you with the immigration process leaving Costa Rica and checking
into Panama. 

Our shuttle van will be waiting for you on the
Panama side to continue the journey to Bocas Del Toro. The shuttle will
drop you off at the Bocas Marine Tours dock in Almirante where you will
take a boat the last 30 minutes of the journey through patches of
mangroves and various islands to the Bocas Marine Tours dock on main
