By taxi: two possibilities,
you get to Las Terrenas directly after your international
flight, which will
normally make you arrive late (between 8 p.m. and midnight).
Or you spend the night at Santo Domingo, it will take
you 30 minutes to get to the city center by taxi and
about 30 US$, you will find all kinds of hotels to spend
the night. Then, the following day, you continue your
journey to get to Las Terrenas by taxi, we advise you
to stop at the "resto route" of Bonao, very
nice cuisine. The journey takes about 4h, the price is
about 180 US$, taxis have air conditioning and take maximum
4 persons.
By bus: the cheapest solution. You will have
to spend a night at Santo Domingo because buses do not
circulate
at night. The day after your arrival you go to the
Caribe
Tours Bus station. Look up at their web site to know
there schedule, there is a service several times per
day between the capital and Sanchez, it takes about 4
h, and costs about 220 pesos (7 US$) per person, no reservation
is possible. The bus goes to Sanchez, you will have to
ask for the bus-stop to Las Terrenas and there you will
have to take a gua-gua (collective taxi) that will take
you to Las Terrenas (about 50 pesos during the day and
from 200 to 300 pesos at night). Another solution, the
concho (moto-taxi) for 100 pesos at day and the double
at night. The bus station at Santo Domingo (for Caribe
Tours bus) is at avenue 27 de Febrero corner with Leopoldo
Navarro, the Sanchez one (for the gua-gua) is in front
of the Texaco station and Las Terrenas’ one is
in front of the Paseo de La Costanera.
By air: by regular
or private flight. After spending the first night at
Santo Domingo, the following day you
take a taxi (30 minutes max. and about 200/300 pesos)
to the Herrera national airport located at the West of
Santo Domingo and take advantage of the regular flights
of Aerodomca and Caribair. 30 minutes between Herrera
and Portillo aerodrome, located at 4 kilometers from
Las Terrenas. Panoramic fly over of the island with impressive
view of the geography and the landscape. Tariff: 60 US$
per person for an outward journey. Half-tariff for children
under 10. By private plane from Herrera national airport
or from Las Americas international airport if your flight
arrives early, find out in situ. The Portillo aerodrome
is not prepared for night flights, so it is not possible
to land after rough 6 p.m.
Note: all the prices are subjected
to currency fluctuation and to the variations of oil
price.
