Getting around from the pier

On foot

From Caldera Cruise Terminal the central streets are a 10–20 minute walk. Stick to the main tourist streets and official taxi ranks, keep valuables out of sight, and agree prices before any ride or tour. Watch your all-aboard time in local port time.

Free

Taxi

Taxis are typically unmetered — agree the price in CRC before getting in, and use the official port taxi rank rather than street pickups.

Pay in CRC — Around 10% in restaurants is normal, and small tips for guides, drivers and boat crews are appreciated.

Port shuttle

A port shuttle or tender usually connects the berth with the terminal gate; from there it is a short walk or taxi to the centre.

Free or a few CRC return

Money & language

Local currency is CRC. Cards are accepted in restaurants and larger shops. Carry small notes for market stalls, taxis and craft studios; the nearest ATMs are usually at the terminal gate or on the first shopping street. The main language is Spanish, and basic English is usually understood in tourist areas. Free Wi-Fi is common in terminal buildings and cafes; an eSIM data plan is the cheapest way to stay online ashore (country dialling code +506).
