Does anyone know if the Caribe bus runs around 2:30-3:00pm from POP to Las Terrenas, and will I need to take a cab to the bus stop?

Caribe Tours does not go to Las Terrenas from POP. The guagua to Samana (which will leave you in Sanchez, you'll then have to take another guagua or a cab) is Transporte Papagayo. They leave from the Puerto Plata Hospital at 6:45 am. If you speak Spanish, you can called them up, 809-749-6415 (they don't speak English).

That is the morning bus. I believe there is also a bus that leaves Samana in the morning and returns to Samana in the afternoon. Like the morning bus, you would catch it in Sanchez and be dropped off in Sanchez.

The morning bus leaves, I believe, from near the hospital as you are going out of POP toward Sosua. You pay on the bus, there is no ticket office or terminal.

There is no Caribe tours or Metro.
Transportes Papagayo 809-749-6415 leaves Puerto Plata Hospital around 6:45am once a day for Samana. They stop in front of Janet's but will stop anywhere in Cabarete/Sosua if you call them. I was told they go through Cabarete at about 7:15am. To be safe, I would be in the sub stop at 7am. They stated it is a blue bus (not purple) but I wouldn't trust that what we may consider purple is shade of blue for Dominicans. The return trip leaves Samana around 1400. To go to LT you would get off at Sanchez and Taxi on.
