Santiago - Sosua

If course I do

Just send me an email or a PM, and I can hook you up with the service.

Be sure you tell me exactly where you are going, since the tariff varies with distance. Recently a family told me "Puerto Plata" and the reality was that they were going to Cabarete! another long haul for the driver.

Be happy to do this, since I got a good report from the people-who are sending the company additional funds, by the way-they are really nice folks and just didn't know.. What the heck, their travel agent said Puerto Plata....

You are better off sleeping in a nearby Cabana then going in the morning.

Does anyone have a phone number for a taxi company/private taxi that can take me from Santiago to Sosua at about 0130?

I am not crazy about having to rely on a public taxi being there and having to deal with someone trying to rip me off. I would rather make prior arrangements to ensure someone is waiting for me at that time of the morning.

Thank you in advance.

we did the Cabana thing too. about $20 US for the night (8 hour shifts). stayed at Club Ethics (very ironic name!) about 8 km from the airport.

get your taxi/driver to pick you up in the morning from the Cabana.

we felt that even with an experienced, local driver the trip to Sosua through the hills in the middle of the night was just asking for trouble. you're tired, so is he. if it is raining it would be more difficult.

even the best driver can be surprised in the dark on those winding hills. just a flat tire would really suck at 2:00 a.m.

the drive is very beautiful and you won't regret waiting until daylight.
