Hi. We're travelling to the DR at the end of this month, and we'll need to get from the Samana peninsula to Bavaro/Punta Cana. We have a rental car and were thinking we could take the ferry across to Sabana del Mar but it doesn't sound like the car ferry is (or has ever been) in operation. Does anyone know about this ferry? Or is there a good driving route? Or maybe we'll have to backtrack to return the car in Puerto Plata and fly to Punta Cana? We appreciate any info. Thanks!

There is no car ferry...people and motorcycles only, samana - sabana

There is only charter air service POP to PUJ.

Other options... express bus to SD...then express bus SD to Bavaro...or via higuey
