Thanks, Conchman. I'm not familiar with Tecri Taxi, where do I find them? I'll be coming from Sosua by guagua, so can be dropped off wherever the Tecri taxis hang out.

I'll also be checking on your bus from Sosua to see if that is an option.

I dont use them personally, I think you have to call them via phone and they are normally only used by dominicans so I doubt they speak any English.

Tecni Taxi 809-320-7621 If you are on the guagua from Sosua go into Puerto Plata, past Jose Luis Supermercade past the hospital and as you go down the hill under the overpass, get off the gua gua at the lights and cross the road to head back up the hill (same street) Tecni Taxi has their office and taxis on the south side of the road.

Tecni Taxi has a bunch of taxis and small vans out front.....

Or if you go all the way to Central Park there is a taxi station right beside Mariposa Ice Cream Shop.

Thanks for info.

The central park location sounds good.

Spanish is not a problem.

I was in POP this morning for a doctor appointment and while there checked with the Tecni taxi. They said price to Ocean World was RD$450. I told them that was the tourist price, not Dominican price, but they said it was price for everyone. Vamos a ver.

At least now I know the maximum.

Also asked about Tecni price to the cable car. They said RD$150.

That sounds about right.
I'd be surprised if you can get one for 200.
I have used them a few times from Costambar to Playa Dorada and paid around 600.

Thanks for confirmation. RD$200 sounded too good to be true; guess it is.

Sorry about the wrong information, I guess the person who told me they paid 200 was exagerating the difference between the Tecni taxi price and the union taxi price, to make a point.

Why not take a cheap gua gua that goes to Santiago and get off at Ocean World? It would cost a lot less.

Good suggestion, however, I am going to take the Ocean World bus that picks up in Sosua.

My son is arriving from the US today and Ocean World is one of the places we are going during his week visit.

Tecni taxi rate POP - OW is 200 pesos no more then that. I take it once a week. Last time a driver wanted to charge 250 but I made him call to central and it ended up being 200 pesos.
T.E.
