Punta Cana (Higuey PUJ) to Santo Domingo

If you search on the countless threads on this subject you will find info on a couple of buses that make the journey and not Metro or Caribe. There is painstaking detail on the times, costs , routes etc. Or take a taxi or rental car, and pay quite a lot.

I presume you are one of the many who think flying into the wrong airport is a good idea to save money even though you then take an entire day to go where you actually want to?

I wouldn't fly nto the wrong place for 270 anything if it means losing nearly two days of a trip on buses and connections. The 3 hour part is just the bus ride, don't bet it will be raring to go 5 minutes after you arrive. For two maybe a taxi is affordable.

hi, i am living in bavaro, the cheapest way it's take a taxi from punta cana airport to sichoprola bus station and then take an express bus to santo domingo, other opcions are planes, or taxis a taxi will be like 125 dollars any questions just email me directly to crazygator4wheels@hotmail.com


ahhh tha xpress bus ist less than 10 us like 8 or something

Safer than taking the Expresso Bavaro which only goes 4 times a day, is taking a taxi from the airport to the Sichoprola bus station in Higuey where there is a bus to Santo Domingo every hour or so. Buses arrive in SD near Parque Enriquillo.

I personally wouldn't call it safer... a turista getting dropped of in Parque Enriquillo is not exactly the safest environment in the world. I personally recommend option one which is taking the Expreso to Santo Domingo. Less hassle and more secure. And according to what I've heard, there's going to be another bus station for the Expreso in Punta Cana starting this December and it'll be only 3 minutes away from the airport. When I get more information I'll post it.

With safer, I just meant safer to not miss the connection and having to wait a long time for the next bus since there are only a few Expresos.

Expreso Ejecutivo Bav?ro-Sto Dgo

This express departs every day from the Terminal that is beside the New Politur Police Station in Bav?ro, near the Friusa crossroads. The coach departs at 7:00 - 10:00 am and 2:00 - 4:00 pm daily. The oneway fare as of today's date is RD$ 230. It is about a 3.5 - 4.0 hour trip from Bavaro to Santo Domingo. The coach trip is comfortable and just as reasonably safe as in a taxi but cheaper.

There are two main stops in Santo Domingo - Parque Enriquillo in the middle of the downtown comercial district (advise not to arrive after dark ) and at the terminal at the corner of Juan S?nchez Ramirez and Av Maximo Gomez near the Nacional Supermercado and just a short distance from the National Theater and the American Consulate

Note: People who desire to go to Las Americas airport from Bav?ro may request the bus driver to stop at the crossroad to the airport. There is a nearby taxi stand where you can obtain the 1 km ride to the terminal.
