Flying into Punta Cana Airport and wanted to take public transportation to the Samana peninsula. I've never been to the DR and I'm wondering if it's easy enough to get a bus to the Samana Peninsula from the Punta Cana area (show up at bus station that day & get one.....will be there mid-March) Is getting from the Punta Cana area to the north going to require going south to Santa Domingo? The maps I've seen don't show roads going thru the Parque Nacional Los Haitses.
Also, I know March is a popular time for tourists, so I'm assuming that it's best to make reservations for places to stay before we arrive.....is it completely out of the question that you could get a room (Not AI resorts) in the Punta Cana area, Bayahibe or Samana peninsula towns in March when you just arrive in town? (I'm more of a backpacker than vacationer, but I can be a planner if I must!)
Thanks for any info or suggestions.
