Dominican Republic Airport Transfers Make Your Holiday A Breeze

By Catalina Nielsen


There is nothing like a holiday in the Caribbean to recharge your batteries, work on your suntan and simply relax. If you want to add some spice to your break, you may want to opt for one of the region's Spanish-speaking countries. Dominican Republic airport transfers can be your passport to sun, sea, sand, Latin flavor and a fiesta like no other.

The Dominican Republic is one of the largest Caribbean nations. It covers the eastern part of Hispaniola, a large island that it shares with Haiti. Puerto Rico and other popular holiday destinations like Martinique, St Lucia and the Virgin Islands lie to the east and south-east of Hispaniola while Cuba and Jamaica lie to the north-west and the west, respectively.

With its tropical climate, the country is the perfect destination for a beach holiday. Many of the beaches here are the stuff of tourist brochures, with fine white sand, clear blue water and palm trees. People come from all over the world to stay in beach resorts like Punta Cana or to explore the more secluded beaches, cays and dive sites all along the coast.

If you're an adventurous nature lover, you'll want to explore the interior of the country too. The rivers are great for adventure sports like rafting and you'll find many areas that beg to be explored on horseback or in a four-wheel-drive vehicle. Mountain climbers will love the trip up to Pico Duarte, the Caribbean's highest point, while birdwatchers will want to go to the lowest point in this region, the below-sea-level Lago Enriquillo, to see the flamingos converging on the saltwater lake.

No holiday is complete without a few nights on the town. If the country's balmy climate isn't enough to get you dancing, the music surely will. The rhythms of merengue were invented here and since this is a Latin American nation, you'll also find plenty of salsa and cumbia to shake your hips to. If you prefer other forms of excitement, there are many casinos where you can try your luck.

If you're a sporty type, you'll find plenty to do on your holiday. The world-class golf courses attract players from all over the world. Baseball is huge here too and you can't go wrong catching a game between major-league teams. Culture and history lovers will probably prefer exploring the museums and historical sights, however.

There are many airports in the country, seven of which receive international carriers. Punta Cana's airport is by far the busiest but the one near Santo Domingo, the country's capital, also sees much traffic. It's possible to fly direct from several US and European destinations, as well as from other Caribbean and Latin American nations.

Local hotels don't usually have their own shuttle services to and from the airports. To get to your accommodation once your flight has landed, you can get a taxi outside the arrivals hall. An easier and often much more economical option, however, is to go online before your flight and book with one of the companies that offer Dominican Republic airport transfers.
