Public Transportation from Puerto Plata to Punta Cana

While we highly recommend our private transfer services for comfort and convenience, budget-conscious travelers may consider public transportation. However, it's important to note that this option is significantly less convenient and time-consuming.

The public route typically involves:

  1. Taking a bus from Puerto Plata to Santo Domingo
  2. Transferring to another bus station in Santo Domingo
  3. Catching a bus from Santo Domingo to Punta Cana
This journey can take an entire day and involves multiple changes. If you choose this option, we recommend departing Puerto Plata no later than 11:00 AM to reach Punta Cana on the same day.
