Can I take a bus from Mal Pais to Tamarindo/Nosara/Samara or vice versa?
It’s not possible to head up the Peninsula by public bus. So you will need to take a bus to Paquera and then take the ferry to Puntarenas and then go up and around via Liberia as the roads through the peninsula are not passable by coach. But private shuttle buses offer the trip up through the peninsulas interior which cuts out the ferry crossing, this costs around $40/$45 per person and can be arranged through the hotel.
