When to leave
On top of the guagua time (2 h 50 min), add the transfer to the terminal and check-in. For an international flight, leaving 6 hours before departure leaves room for a late bus without running.

Combined itinerary: 06:30 bus to Cabarete and 09:00 bus to Puerto Plata. There is no direct bus, we sort out the connection between stops for you.
The last departure of the day is never sold with a Guagualine booking: if your bus fails there must always be a later departure as plan B.
Local schedules and prices are indicative and can change without notice from the operator. We verify them before confirming every booking.
Step 2: from the stop to POP airport
From the airport to the Puerto Plata terminal it is about 20 minutes by taxi. To Cabarete, just under half an hour.
This trip has no fixed price: it ends at an airport and needs a private transfer to the terminal. Ask us and we work the price out for you.
