Please be gentle. I am landing at STI, yes because it is the cheapest airport into DR, and would like to know how easy/difficult it is to find someone(s) to share a taxi with to Cabarete. Are people approached at the airport by other travellers asking to share a taxi?
Based on my research, it appears as though the cheapest alternative for me is to wait until the sun comes up and head out of the airport and wait for a cab to the Metro/Caribe station for a bus to Sosua and then on to Caberete. I appreciate the majority of posters on this forum would fly directly into POP and then cab it to Caberete or even taxi directly from STI.
First time to the DR and I do like to backpack so travelling with locals is part of the fun for me. Taking a taxi directly from the airport for $100 is something I won't entertain. I know the country is not backpack friendly but I want to experience this land that a lot of you love.
I would love any suggestions other than telling me to save more money.
