JOURNEY

From another Selina
Take one of our shuttles from Selina Tamarindo, La Fortuna, Manuel Antonio, Jaco or San Jose. These depart every morning and you can book them under the Explore tab or at the front desk of each location.

By bus
Take the public bus from San Jose (Terminal 7-10) to Santa Teresa. The bus departing at 6am will drop off passengers in Cobano, Puntarenas, the nearest town. You will have to switch to another local bus to ride another short distance into Santa Teresa, where it will drop you off right in front of our location. Otherwise, the bus departing at 2pm from San Jose will drop you off directly in Santa Teresa. We advise double checking departure times in advanced in case of any bus or ferry schedule changes.

From the airport
If you arrive early in the morning to the San Jose airport, you can reserve a spot on a Selina shuttle to take you directly to Selina Santa Teresa. Also, you can rent a car at the airport and drop it off at Selina once you arrive. Alternately, you can take a taxi to the bridge of Villa Bonita in Alajuela (about 30 minutes away), where the public bus to Santa Teresa passes at around 6:20AM and 2:20PM.
