We don't advise driving during nighttime when you are not familiar with the roads. We can arrange transport from the airport to Nosara. The trip takes 2.5 hours. If you want to rent a car, we advise you rent a GPS from the rental car company. With the GPS, enter "Nosara" or "Playa Guiones". Ask the car rental agent, and he will help you with the GPS. If you don't use a GPS, here's what to do: Go south on Highway 21 to Nicoya. Then take Highway 150 south toward Samara. About 5 kms before Samara, you will see a gas station and next a hardware store on your left. Across from the hardware store, to your right, is the partially paved dirt road to Nosara.
