Taxi from Cabarete to Río San Juan and Playa Grande

An hour east of Cabarete the coast changes: the hotels stop, the cliffs start, and you get Playa Grande and Playa Caletón, two of the best beaches in the country. Río San Juan sits just past them, with the Gri-Gri lagoon and a fishing harbour where lunch comes off the boat. It is the easiest full day out from Cabarete and the road is good the whole way.

Frequently asked questions

How far is Cabarete from Puerto Plata airport?

Cabarete is 18 kilometres from Puerto Plata International Airport (POP), about 25 minutes by car along the coastal road. It is the closest airport to Cabarete.

How do I book a taxi in Cabarete?

Send a WhatsApp message to +1 829 252 2981 with your date, flight number, number of passengers and destination. You get the fixed price straight away and a confirmation. No deposit and no card needed to reserve.

Do you accept US dollars, euros and Dominican pesos?

Yes. We take US dollars, euros, Dominican pesos and bank transfer. Payment is made to the driver at the end of the trip, so there is nothing to pay online in advance.

What happens if my flight is delayed?

We track your flight number and adjust the pick-up time on our own. Waiting time caused by an airline delay is not charged, and the price agreed on WhatsApp stays the same.

Is the price per person or for the whole vehicle?

The price is for the whole vehicle, up to 6 passengers with luggage. Three people or six people pay the same, so travelling as a group works out cheaper than a shared shuttle.

Can you carry kiteboards and surfboards?

Yes. The minivan has a roof cargo box built for board bags, and Cabarete is a kitesurf town, so we do it every day. Tell us how many boards when you book and there is no extra charge.
