The route: Your private transfer from Punta Cana Airport (PUJ) to Cabarete is a fast and comfortable journey. Traveling from the east coast to Cabarete is a journey of approximately 240 miles. The journey typically takes 5 hours under normal traffic conditions. To make this cross-country trek efficient, our drivers use the most reliable highway arteries in the country: 1. Autopista del Coral (Hwy 3): Your trip begins at Punta Cana Airport, heading west through the eastern plains. 2. Circunvalación Santo Domingo: We bypass the capital’s heavy urban traffic using the modern beltway, which is essential for maintaining your travel schedule. 3. Autopista Duarte (Hwy 1): The “backbone” of the country, this highway takes you north through the stunning mountains of the Cordillera Central. 4. Navarrete-Puerto Plata Highway: After crossing the mountains, we head toward the Atlantic coast, finally connecting to the Carretera 5 (Coastal Highway) that leads directly into Cabarete.
The scenery: The Ultimate Coast-to-Coast Journey: From Punta Cana to Cabarete The trip from Punta Cana Airport (PUJ) to the adventure capital of Cabarete is more than just a transfer—it is an epic road trip across the diverse soul of the Dominican Republic. When you book with Canacar.com, you aren’t just sitting in a car; you are witnessing a cinematic transition from the white-sand Atlantic coast to the rugged, lush North Shore. Here is the vivid tapestry of landscapes you’ll encounter on this cross-country voyage: 1. The Wild Plains of El Seibo and Miches Shortly after leaving the airport, the manicured resort gates vanish, replaced by the raw beauty of the Eastern Cordillera. You’ll cruise through vast, rolling savannas and cattle ranchlands. As we head toward Miches, the road begins to twist through emerald-green hills. To your right, you’ll catch glimpses of the “Costa Esmeralda”—stretches of wild, coconut-fringed coastline that remain largely untouched by time. 2. The Majesty of Samaná Bay As the journey continues north, the landscape becomes more dramatic. You’ll skirt the edges of Samaná Bay. Keep your eyes on the horizon; the water here is a deep, moody blue, often dotted with local fishing boats. The air becomes humid and rich with the scent of tropical rain forests as you pass near the limestone karsts of Los Haitises National Park, which look like giant green mushrooms rising from the sea. 3. The Northern Mountain Pass This is the part of the drive that surprises most travelers. As we move inland to cross toward the north coast, you’ll ascend into the Septentrional Mountain Range. The views are breathtaking—panoramic vistas of tropical valleys filled with cacao and coffee plantations. You’ll see small, vibrant “pueblos” where life moves at a slower pace, and colorful wooden houses line the winding mountain roads. 4. The Dramatic North Shore Arrival As the descent begins, the Atlantic Ocean reappears, but it looks different here—wilder, more energetic. You’ll pass through the outskirts of Rio San Juan and Gaspar Hernández, where huge cliffs drop into the sea and the vegetation is a dense, “Jurassic” green. Finally, as the wind picks up and the sight of kite-surfers fills the horizon, you’ll know you’ve arrived in Cabarete, the bohemian heart of the north.
