Taxis and airport transfers
Verified taxi and transfer drivers covering El Catey airport (AZS) pickups, Las Terrenas and Samaná town runs, and beach drop-offs. Listed transfers currently run US$55–$75. Message the driver on WhatsApp with your flight details and they’ll be waiting at arrivals.
How long is the drive from El Catey airport to Las Terrenas?
About 30–45 minutes depending on where in Las Terrenas you’re staying. Samaná town is a similar distance in the other direction.
Do I pay in dollars or pesos?
Drivers here quote in US dollars and virtually all accept both dollars and Dominican pesos in cash. Agree the price on WhatsApp before the ride — that quote is what you pay.
Can a taxi wait for me or do a round trip?
Yes — round trips and waiting time are normal requests, especially for Playa Rincón or El Limón. Ask the driver on WhatsApp for a round-trip price; it’s usually better than two one-way fares.
