This is the least preferable airport to arrive through, if you would like airport pick up & return, as it involves driving through the city of Santo Domingo, and the trip is much longer due to rough roads and detours.

This airport is located in the far east of the country near the eastern coast of the mainland and is quite far from Samana', Jarabacoa, Puerto Plata, and other locations. Since it takes between 10 and 12 hours to go from this airport to Samana', making the cost prohibitive, as well as the traveling time unreasonable, we do not offer airport pick up and return service from this airport. If you are able to obtain a very low fare flying into Punta Cana, then it would be well worth it to take the shuttle or direct flight to Samana from Punta Cana Airport.
