We can also arrange for your airport transfer as well as for accommodations at several hotels in San Jose. The night before departure our representative will inform you at your hotel of your pick up time for transport to the vessel. Please note that we do not pick up from all San Jose hotels. The evenings onshore are at your leisure. Hotel nights and meals before and after the cruise are not included. Please contact us for further information.
Day 2
On the day of departure to Cocos Island, generally between 8 AM and 1 PM, you will be picked up from your hotel and transferred to Puntarenas, the seaport village where you will board the vessel. The drive takes about 2.5 hours and gives you a chance to view the lush tropical forest and rich farmland of the region. On the way there will be a stop for a snack or lunch. The price of this meal is not included in the price of the trip. At the end of the trip you disembark at 8 AM and will be transferred back to your hotel in San Jose.
