Quepos, Costa Rica - how long is tender boat ride

[Wayfairers]

I’ve got a private tour booked for Quepos, Costa Rica.  Trying to figure out what time I need to leave the ship to meet the guide.  Anyone remember how long the ride is on the tender boat between the ship and the dock?

Thank you!  I looked for that but somehow missed it.

It’s not you.  CC’s bizarre geography puts the Costa Rica sub forum in the Caribbean forum, despite Costa Rica’s Pacific Coast.

Good grief.   No wonder I couldn’t find it!

It is sometimes difficult for ships to tender since Quepos is an unprotected port.  On one cruise there the captain had to reposition the ship 3 times before it was safe.  This delayed tendering.  The tender ride is medium length--probably around 20 minutes.

Thanks for the great information!
