Due to problems booking a flight into Puerto Plata, we will be flying into Santo Domingo. Can anybody tell me what are the best options for getting from Santo Dominingo to Puerto Plata, and the travel time and approximate cost? There will be 3 of us travelling. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

Diane

If it were me, I would take a taxi from the airport to the Caribe Tours station in Santo Domingo. Then Caribe Tours to PP. I am not sure about current prices.

Buses leave hourly. Trip to Puerto Plata takes about 4 hours, including a stop in Santiago to use bathroom and get refreshments.

Cheapest and best way to get there is the bus(caribe tours). Your other alternatives is to fly(I think $75 us) or if you are familiar with the roads you can rent a car and drive to puerto plata (4 hours). Bus should take you 4 to 5 hours. Have a good trip.

Thanks for the information. It looks like the bus is probably the way for us to go.
