The taxi-boat-taxi service (or sometimes called jeep-boat-jeep, although nobody uses jeeps anymore) is a one-way transfer between Monteverde and Arenal Volcano and La Fortuna. Or vice versa.

 The two places are only about 136km apart but the shortest direct route by road is not possible because of the mountain ranges. But we offer a beautiful shortcut.

 By taking a motorized, covered boat ride across the Arenal Lake you can save time driving or riding the bus.  This shuttle departs twice daily traveling from Monteverde to Arenal, or Arenal to Monteverde.  The trip lasts 3 hours and provides door to door service for most hotels.
