Jeep-Boat-Jeep from La Fortuna to Monteverde (and Vice Versa)

Jeep-Boat-Jeep from La Fortuna to Monteverde (and Vice Versa)

Traveling between La Fortuna (Arenal Volcano) and Monteverde (Cloud Forest) is one of the most popular routes in Costa Rica. Instead of spending long hours winding around Lake Arenal by car, adventurous travelers choose the iconic Jeep-Boat-Jeep transfer—a scenic, efficient, and fun way to travel between these two destinations.

At I Love Travel Costa Rica, we specialize in making this unique journey smooth, comfortable, and stress-free.

What Is the Jeep-Boat-Jeep Service?

The Jeep-Boat-Jeep transfer is a combination of ground and water transportation:

  1. Jeep/Van Pick-Up – You’ll be picked up at your hotel in La Fortuna or Monteverde in a comfortable van/bus or 4x4.
  2. Boat Across Lake Arenal – A scenic boat ride across Lake Arenal, with breathtaking views of Arenal Volcano and lush rainforest.
  3. Jeep/Van Drop-Off – On the other side of the lake, another vehicle will take you directly to your hotel in Monteverde or La Fortuna.

The total travel time is about 3–4 hours, compared to 6+ hours by road. This makes it not just faster, but also a highlight of your Costa Rican adventure.
