30–40 min · Standard $60 · VIP $99 · private vehicle
A private transfer from Samaná El Catey International Airport (AZS) to Las Terrenas costs $60 Standard or $99 VIP, one way, per vehicle for 1 to 6 passengers. The drive takes about 30–40 min, your driver meets you in arrivals with a name sign, and we track the flight so a delay costs nothing extra.
Las Terrenas is the busiest town on the peninsula and the most common AZS destination: a French and Italian influenced beach town with Playa Las Ballenas and Punta Popy on one side, Calle Duarte and the Pueblo de los Pescadores restaurants in the middle, and hillside villas above. The drive is the Bulevar Turístico del Atlántico from El Catey and then the coastal approach into town. Landmarks guests usually name here: Playa Las Ballenas, Punta Popy, Pueblo de los Pescadores, Calle Duarte.
