Punta Cana
Best way to travel Punta Cana for travelers picking the smartest transport mix
The best way to travel within Punta Cana — by use case, not by ideology. Airport ↔ resort: private transfer, every time. Fixed USD, meet-and-greet, kid seats, no taxi line. Our flat rates beat or match the union taxi. Resort → excursion (Saona, party boat, catamaran, buggy): pickup is already included in every cana.tours booking — don't pay twice. Resort → restaurant / mall: Uber when it's in range (Bávaro, downtown), resort taxi otherwise. Multi-stop day (shopping + lunch + beach + sunset): private driver for the day — cheaper than 3–4 separate rides and you skip the wait. Big day trip (Samaná, Santo Domingo, La Romana, Bahía de las Águilas): full-day private SUV or guided tour + driver. Driving yourself is doable but exhausting. Inside the resort: walk or use the resort golf cart. Late-night clubs (Coco Bongo, Imagine, Oro)
