Known as the resort center of Punta Cana, Bavaro is situated 20 kilometers from Punta Cana International Airport (PUJ) and can be reached by taxi, private transfer, or bus.
A Punta Cana Airport taxi or a private transfer are the only direct transport options between the airport and Bavaro, taking around 20 minutes in light traffic conditions. Both options have fixed fare prices and will drop you straight to the curb of your hotel.
A cheaper alternative is to take the local bus, which has a journey time of around 45 minutes. While the driver will drop you as close as possible to your destination, there are only a handful of services each day, so be prepared for a lengthy wait time.
Welcome Pickups offers meet and greet services and a friendly introduction to Punta Cana at the same price as a regular taxi. Click here to see the cost.
