Caribbean Holidays Made Easy With Dominican Republic Airport Transfers

By Catalina Nielsen


If you're tired of the rat race, you probably need a holiday. The Caribbean is a great destination if you want to relax and unwind in tropical climes but as with all trips abroad, it can be very stressful to get to your accommodation once you arrive in the country. However, Dominican Republic airport transfers ensure that your holiday starts as soon as you step out of the arrivals hall.

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.

Because the Caribbean country is a popular holiday destination, it's very easy to fly into from the USA, Europe, some Latin American countries and other Caribbean destinations. There are seven airports that receive international commercial flights and a plethora of small domestic airports and landing strips. During the busy tourist season you can catch one of the many chartered flights that transport passengers to the country.

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.
