POP / PUJ

Well, I drove yesterday form Puerto Plata airport to Bayahibe in 5 1/2 hours and from Bayahibe to Punta Cana it is just 1 1/2 hours which means that the whole trip could take about 7 hours. Taxi fare is US$260.00 dollars for the trip, one way.

If memory serves

It is a little over RD$1000 to go by plane from POP to Punta Cana.

Takes about 30 minutes.

Time vs cost it is worth while says my son and daughter in law.

Air Santo Domingo

The cost is about $1250 PESO's now one way. Air Santo Domingo serves the route and it definately worth flying rather than the long drive. They fly daily and reservations can be made the same day most of the time.

Drive times vary greatly

Drive times vary significantly in the Dominican Republic depending on current road conditions (construction), traffic levels, and weather (rain can bring things to a halt).

For example, it is about 4 hours from Santo Domingo to Puerto Plata. I've done it in just over 3, and I've also spent 2 hours just to get across Santo Domingo in heavy traffic, with a trip time of over 6 hours (raining).
