A taxi-boat-taxi is a transfer service between [destinations](/costa-rica/destinations) where travel along both land and water is necessary. Minibuses pick up customers at hotels in the starting destination (i.e. [Arenal](/costa-rica/destinations/arenal)) and then bring them to a place where they board a boat for the next segment of the transfer (i.e. [Lake Arenal](/costa-rica/attractions/lake-arenal-national-park)). Finally, on the other side of the water, they are met by another minibus that will drop them off at their destination [hotel](/costa-rica/hotels) (i.e. in [Monteverde](/costa-rica/destinations/monteverde)). The Monteverde and Arenal taxi-boat-taxi service runs between the destinations two times a day. A taxi-boat-taxi shuttle also operates between [Montezuma](/costa-rica/destinations/montezuma) and [Jacó](/costa-rica/destinations/jaco-hermosa-heradura), which is a significant time saver for visiters wishing to avoid the long transit by ground and car ferry which is the traditional way to navigate between those two places.
