Dear all,
First of all, I am so happy I stumbled across this forum. I will be traveling to DR in May/June this year, for the first time. Me and my friends want to independently explore the country and there are not so many information online for some of the places we want to visit.
Among others, we want to stay 3 days/nights in SW Coast. The plan is to stay the first night in Barahona (Caribetours bus from Santo Domingo to Barahona).
The next day we want to go to Pedernales and from there visit Bahia de las Aquilas and stay the night. After that, we want to return to Barahona for one final night, after which we will take the Caribetours bus back to Santo Domingo.
At this point we don't know how to get from Barahona to Pedernales.
- We don't feel comfortable renting a car. However, if we do opt for a rentacar, do you know of a local company that is reliable?
- A taxi for a return ride is probably very expensive. Do you know how much it would cost?
- Is there any regular public transportation from Barahona to Pedernales?
- Or, can you recommend a reliable and cost effective private company/agency that would take us there and back?
- Any other suggestions on how we could do this?
Thank you very much in advance!
