From PUJ Airport
Starting price
Your private transfer from Punta Cana Airport (PUJ) to La Romana is a fast and comfortable journey. Right after leaving the airport, your driver will merge onto the Autopista del Coral (Highway 3). This modern, well-maintained toll road provides a smooth and direct ride, allowing you to relax and enjoy the Caribbean scenery.
To avoid heavy traffic, the route is specifically designed to bypass busy urban centers. Along the way, you will drive past the outskirts of Verón and the city of Higüey, passing the highway turnoffs for San Rafael del Yuma and Bayahibe before safely arriving in La Romana.
Under normal traffic conditions, the entire trip takes approximately 45 to 55 minutes. You can simply sit back and enjoy the quick drive while your professional driver handles the road.
The Coral Highway: Your Scenic Transfer from Punta Cana to La Romana
Your arrival at Punta Cana International Airport (PUJ) is just the first chapter of your Caribbean story. As you step into your private Canacar.com vehicle, the 50-minute drive to La Romana unfolds as a beautiful transition from the turquoise Atlantic to the deep azure of the Caribbean Sea.
Forget the stress of shared shuttles. Here is the vivid, front-row experience you’ll enjoy on your way to paradise:
1. The Emerald Sea of Sugar Cane
Shortly after leaving the airport, the landscape transforms into a breathtaking expanse of green. You are traveling through the heart of the Dominican Republic’s sugar heritage. Miles of towering sugar cane plantations sway in the tropical breeze, creating a lush, rhythmic sea of grass that stretches toward the horizon. Under the brilliant golden sun, this rural vista offers a peaceful and authentic glimpse of the island’s soul.
2. The Majestic Chavón River Canyon
The undisputed highlight of your transfer is crossing the bridge over the Río Chavón. Have your camera ready—this view is world-famous. Looking down from the high-span bridge, you’ll see the river winding through a dramatic, prehistoric canyon draped in dense jungle. It’s so cinematic that it served as the backdrop for films like Jurassic Park and Apocalypse Now. The contrast between the limestone cliffs and the deep green water is simply unforgettable.
3. The Vibrant Edge of La Romana
As we approach your destination, the landscape takes on a more colorful, local rhythm. You’ll see the outskirts of La Romana, a city where industrial history meets modern luxury. You might catch a glimpse of the giant chimneys of the Central Romana mill and the vibrant “pueblo” life—brightly painted houses and fruit stands overflowing with fresh mangoes and pineapples—before we veer toward the exclusive resort enclaves.
4. Entering the “Teeth of the Dog” Territory
As we reach the final stretch, the wilder scenery gives way to meticulously manicured golf courses and flamboyant trees (Hibiscus and Trinitarias) in shades of fire-red and hot pink. The air feels more refined, scented with sea salt and tropical blooms, signaling your arrival at the prestigious gates of Casa de Campo or the La Romana cruise port.
