Hi everyone!
A friend of mine and I are going to visit DR next week.
We will stay at DR for 5 days only and we decided to visit some specific places in DR: Santo Domingo, Cabarete Puerto Plata, Sosua, Las Terrenas and Samana.
Is it better to fly from Santo Domingo to Puerto Plata or it'is ok by bus?
And how much does this flight cost?
Is it possible to fly from Puerto Plata to Samana or Las Terranas?

After DR we are planning to hopping in some islands like Grenada, TnT, Barbados, St Kitts. I read in the web site of LIAT that I should book the air pass from my origin country (Greece) but this is impossible cause the dates of my staying at each destination are not fixed and not gonna be till i am there.Any suggestions...?
Thanx!!!! :)

If I had 5 days and wanted to do all that travel after a flight from Greece I would personally perform a labotomy on myself without annestatizing first before I would do it.

My advice is to pick for instance Sosua/Cabarete only or Santo Domingo Only or Samana/Las Teranas. Man, I just got a headache thinking about all that travel.

PP to Samana

Hi ChicaGriega

I agree with Escott - that's a lot of travelling in 5 days....

To answer one of your questions - I travelled from Puerto Plata to Samana in Jan and was quoted $140 to fly and $80 by coach.......we opted for the coach option in the end and it took just over 3 hrs......

Happy travelling

My suggestion is to keep it nice and simple. Just go to one place or stay for more days. If you are doing all that traveling in 5 days most likely you will not have a good time because most of the time you will be in a vehicle. Its all up to you.

Gracias, pero.....

Vale vale, teneis razon! ;)

But I don't think that's imposible to stay 1 night in Santo Domingo, 2-3 nights in Cabarete (we can go on 1 day-trip to Sosua or Puerto Plata from Cabarete) and 1 day to Las Terrenas! If it is difficult we will stay more!

Anyway, we will see!

Does anyone have any idea about LIAT?
Would we be able to buy the air pass from DR or we should book it from here?

Muchas Gracias!

I don't believe that LIAT flies to the Dominican Republic. I guess that means that you should do it in Greece.

And please bring some stuffed grape leaves.

Yes, but the same website shows no destination in the Dominican Republic on the scroll down menu. The "DR_package" section shows an American Airlines connection from San Juan to Santo Domingo. Finally, I note this "
** Island Hopper packages do not include Guyana and Santo Domingo as destinations."
http://www.liatairline.com/island-hopper.htm

I believe that LIAT cancelled flights to SDQ not long ago, though it looks like they may still have some kind of cooperative agreement with AA.

I'm suprised that one of the resident obsessed maniacs with flight schedule computers hasn't chimed in on this already.

Looks like it changed recently, Porfi.

I was looking for a flight to Barbados a just couple of months ago, and LIAT via Antigua would have been one of the options. BWIA was another, and they've since left as well.

Excellent! Chiri, you were right!

Dajao. Why doesn't Santo Domingo appear as a destination in the scroll down menu on Liat's website?

Hi again!

Muchas gracias por toda la informacion que me habeis ofrecido! :)

I Knew that Liat does not include Santo Domingo: "Island Hopper packages do not include Guyana and Santo Domingo as destinations", but I think that Santo Domingo can be "used" as a departure country for the island hopper.

I supose that nobody has an answer for what I should do with the airpass: if I should book it before I arrive in DR, or I can buy it from a travel agent or the airport of DR. (The problem is that I don't know which days I will do the hopping so as to book it now from Greece!)

:cheeky:
