If you’re arriving to Bayahibe via any of the three closest airports (La Romana, Punta Cana or Santo Domingo) and staying at one of the All Inclusive resorts in Bayahibe / Dominicus area, your vacation package might include airport transfers.

If you’re going the independent route you can rent a car at either airport at the desks inside the terminal, take a taxi or use the public transportation

By Taxi

La Romana Airport is the closest one, about 20 – 25 minute drive,  a private taxi for up to 5 people is 35 USD.

Punta Cana Airport and Santo Domingo airport, both about hour and half car ride from here – the cost is around 110 USD (private taxi for up to 5 people).

By Car

You can rent a car, either you can pre-book it from home like at any other vacation destination in the world, or you can rent it at either airport. The cost is from 35 USD per day plus, depending on the vehicle of course.

By Bus or Guagua

This is the budget friendly transportation, but usually the longest way to travel. You’ll need to find one bus or guagua going to La Romana first then need to transfer to another one for Bayahibe (ask the driver to drop you at the “parada para Bayahibe”).

Driving Directions

Driving from Punta Cana / Bavaro area, or any other places east of Bayahibe, take the road # 4 west through Otra Banda to Higuey, go through Higuey and continue on #4 South towards La Romana. After driving for approximately additional 12 miles is a Y shaped intersection, keep right to road #3. 8 miles later you will see Isla Gas station on the left hand side, right after the gas station turn left and follow the road to Bayahibe (a big sign hard to miss).  Continue driving downhill for next 6 miles, at the bottom of the hill is again Y shape intersection keep going right, this road will take you to Bayahibe village (1/2 mile) or keep going straight for additional mile and 1/2 to get to Dominicus.

Driving from Santo Domingo or other points west of Bayahibe, take highway #3 east towards Sant Pedro de Macorice and La Romana. In La Romana continue in the direction – La Romana Airport / Higuey (see below how to by pass La Romana traffic). After the airport you will pass a canyon with River Chavon, village El Limon and one mile later there is a Y shaped intersection. Keep right and follow the road to Bayahibe (there is a big sign hard to miss).  Continue driving downhill for next 6 miles, at the bottom of the hill is again Y shape intersection keep going right, this road will take you to Bayahibe village (1/2 mile) or continue straight for about mile and 1/2 to get to Dominicus.

Bypassing La Romana
When approaching La Romana it’s not a good idea to drive trough town, it might be very slow and confusing too. It’s better to bypass the traffic jam that is there most of the time, not only during the rush hours. Before you get to town you will see Shell gas station and Burger King on your left. As soon as you see it, try to stay in the right lane and on the first lights go right (you will see sign Casa de Campo / Higuy, road # 3 and 4) There is a moving billboard on this intersection so you cannot miss it. Continue on the main road, after about 5 minutes you will have Jumbo supermarket on the right, just keep on going towards La Romana Airport and Higuy.
