Hello,

I will be traveling to Dominican Republic in August and need to know what is the easiest and safest way to get from Punta Cana to Puerto Plata? Thank you.

Coach to the capital then coach to pop, I think, unless there is a new route direct, or an old one I don?t know of.
I always find driving the easiest, safest and quickest, not to mention least stressful, but a pick and drop off at a different location hire will be expensive.

Fly if you can. Google Dominican Shuttles.
Otherwise Express bus to SD and then taxi to Caribe Tours or Metro bus to PP. A long day, very long.

I was thinking driving might be the best but my mom says she doesn't feel safe, unfortunately.

With the new roads you have absolutely no issues at all. She will feel alot happier in a car than on a freezing cold coach full of Dominicans on Cel phones and screaming over your heads the entire journey.

You will not regret driving there. Beautiful new Highway, very scenic. And you will save a lot of time and grief.

Dominican shuttles gave me a decent quote ($379) and waiting to hear how much a car rental would cost me; especially since I will need the car in Puerto Plata. Thank you all for your help!
