Not hard.
Head east on number 5 , through Gasping Hernandez, Río San Juan & Cabrera 

Be careful in Nagua, angle left at the hospital. Sign says Santo Domingo
Then follow your nose.

An hour and a bit to Cabrera, another half hour to nagua and half more to the airport.

Is the OP asking for public transport?

From Puerto Plata to Samana, Transportes Papagayo 1-829-376-8346 or 1-809-749-6415 leaves Puerto Plata Hospital at 6:30 am once a day for Sanchez and Samana and returns from Samana at 2 p.m. They stop in front of Janet's Cabarete and will stop anywhere in Cabarete/Sosua or along the way if you call them (Spanish speaking Salvador). No Web Site, cost approx. 350 RD.
The other bus in the morning, Transporte El Canario, leaves at 6.00 am from Puerto Plata heading for Sanchez and Samana. 809-291-5594.
In both cases you need to get off at the airport turn off and walk the long walk to El Catey.

Yes Willy, the Las Terenas buses would work also to get to the airport. Still have to walk that long walk.
Transporte Las Terenas bus leaves Puerto Plata at 1.30 p.m. and passes Sosua half and hour later and Cabarete 45 minutes later. For Sosua and Cabarete you will have to stand in the main road and flag it down. Look for a bus with Puerto Plata-La Terrena in the window.

More, I think....over 2 hours.

Caribe Tours to Nagua and figure it from there.
Or go to the Autopista on Caribe.... short hop from there 

Just how creative you want to be

Caribe doesn't ply that route from Sosua.
Could do the guagua thing too. Have to change twice most likely.

El Catey was the request - partnered with Samana.
But yes, two different things.

Airport is just past the empty toll booths going east.... way before Samana.

Guagua-
Change to the Nagua route at Rio San Juan
Then again in Nagua to continue on

If you ask around POP you’ll find a transport company and their prices

POP airport to Cabrera is about 1 1/2 hrs...Cabrera to Samaná is another1 1/2... less than 2

Add in the POP central to the airport and you have a good estimate of time needed
