Punta Cana to Bayahibe and Dominicus: Complete Airport Transfer Guide
Getting from Punta Cana Airport to Bayahibe
If you're flying into Punta Cana International Airport (PUJ) and heading to Bayahibe, Dominicus Beach, or the surrounding areas, planning your ground transportation is one of the most important steps for a smooth vacation.
Bayahibe is located about 67 kilometers south of PUJ airport, and the drive takes roughly 1 hour along the main highway. While there are several ways to make this journey, a private transfer is by far the most convenient and reliable option.
Is there public transportation available
No. While public cars and busses are common and popular modes of transportation, you won't find a simple public route from PUJ to Bayahibe or La Romana. Once you get to Bayahibe, La Romana or Dominicus, you can take public transportation to jump between the nearby towns, but getting to them from PUJ requires private transportation.
Why Choose a Private Transfer?
Unlike taxis or shared shuttles, a private transfer means:
- No waiting for other passengers at the airport
- Direct route to your hotel or accommodation
- Fixed price agreed upon before you travel
- Air-conditioned vehicles with comfortable seating
- Flight monitoring so your driver adjusts to delays
The Route: PUJ to Bayahibe
The journey follows a straightforward route:
- Exit Punta Cana International Airport onto Boulevard Turistico del Este

The highway is modern and well-maintained. You'll pass through some scenic countryside with sugar cane fields and small Dominican towns along the way.
