The nearest airport is Puerto Plata (code: POP). There are flights from Canada, USA East Coast, Europe. From there it is about a 15 minute taxi ride, standard price $25. We can organise a friendly taxi to be waiting for you on arrival (cost is $20).

​

Next closest  is Santiago de los Caballeros (code: STI). This is about 1.5 hours drive in daylight, 2 hours at night (different route). A taxi will cost between $100 or more, depending on time of day or night and number of passengers.

​

Santo Domingo, the capital, and its airport (SDQ) are on the south coast,  the other side of the island. Depending on timing, you can take a taxi into Santo Domingo for a few dollars and catch a long-distance bus (Caribe Tours or Metro Bus) (bus cost about $8) to Sosua. These take between 3 and 4.5 hours. The last bus leaves around 4pm, otherwise you need a hotel overnight. Alternatively a taxi from the airport to Sosua will cost between $200 and $250, taking about 2.5 hours.

​

Finally Punta Cana in the south-east corner of the country - the flights may be cheaper, but it is a long way away. Taxi for about $400 for 4.5 hours. Alternatively, you can take three buses and a short taxi ride via Santo Domingo, taking all day, and costing maybe $40, but this may also involve an overnight stay at extra cost.

​

If you are arriving for the first time, and maybe thinking about a hire car - DON'T. Driving here is chaotic and dangerous. Get to know the country first.
