Fixed taxi rates are listed on a big sign just outside the airport terminal. Return rates are also shown, and should be about a $10 or more discount vs. seperate bookings. Single from the airport to Cofresi beach was about $25, and return $40 excluding tip. Watch out for the guys who try and show you where the taxi's are, they also expect some money.

Didn't do it myself, but driving looked like a bit of a dangerous exercise for the uninitiated... Lots of hooting, pothole-dodging and creating 3 lanes where previously there was 2. I have a lot of respect for the intricate patterns of chaotic driving, but this was supposed to be a restful weekend for us. Leave a Comment Theme: Car/Motor Home

I always get 5 estimates from travel agencies with the exact time and place I want to stay. I go with the cheapest. Never had a problem. Why pay more if you don't have to. I met one couple who paid 2000.00 for one week. We paid 1350.00 for two weeks!!! shop around. The more estimates the better. Use the bus the locals use is cheap and fast. They drive crazy so don't be scared. Leave a Comment Theme: Bus

by Patricialuv Easiest way to get there by plane is landing by the Puerto Plata Airport (Instead of the Santo Domingo Airport of Las Americas). If you need transportation getting in and out of hotels, restaurants or beaches, I suggest you book tourist buses before hand. Theme: Other

by Umfufu Getting there is a long swim over the ocean from Holland to the Dominican Republic.....unless you take a plain. With a cab you can go everywhere. Make a price before you go and thats for the whole day. There are signs wich are telling you the price of a trip with a cab. That for real, you can not talk about this price and make it less. The cabs are not that good, but hee the prices are not that bad either. And remember you will also have a guide (when you have a cabdriver that speaks a little english) Leave a Comment Theme: Airplane

by Ronald_T With a taxi is the best way to go, but even then you must take care that the driver don’t drive around with you to make more money. There are tourist busses also, and you can get on at almos every resort. But it is always very busy and there is a great risk, you will lose your money. Theme: Motorcycle

Keep US$ handy for the day you'll leave the country, you'll need them at the airport before you step on the plane Leave a Comment Theme: Airplane

by Franberu If you don't want to rent a car you have the choice to travel aroud Puerto Plata, Sosua and Cabarete by (publicos) small van that you can stop anywhere or moto-conchos to ride at the back of a moto. These travel ways are not expansive and let you meet with dominicans abroad. Since there is only one main road all along the sea you cannot miss anything and you just ask the driver where you want to go ther will be a NO PROBLEMA answer. Leave a Comment Theme: Bus
