Official airport taxis are the primary and most convenient transportation method. They are readily available outside the arrivals terminal. Fares are generally fixed based on destination zones (e.g., Las Terrenas, Samaná town, Las Galeras). It is highly recommended to confirm the price with the dispatcher or driver before your trip.
Several major car rental companies, such as Avis, Hertz, and Europcar, have service desks located within the airport's arrivals hall. To ensure vehicle availability and secure better rates, it is strongly advised to book your rental car in advance, particularly during peak travel seasons.
There is no direct public bus or shuttle service from the airport terminal. The local public transport consists of 'guaguas' (small buses or vans) which can be flagged down on the main highway, a short walk from the airport. This option is generally not practical for travelers with significant luggage and may require some knowledge of Spanish.

For second one need to pay extra $20.- and didn't have a cash ( my biggest mistake) ,offered Visa ..even to cashed money in local free shop ...NO...been sent for extra personal check / customs/police intentionally obviosly to lose the flight, after plane was gone everything was ok with smile..what a PERFECT COORDINATION. ..Nex day I took a flight from Porto Plata - Toronto and pick up my baggage ...w explanation of local WEST JET agent that computer showing " passenger didn't show up on time..." Sad,sad so sad.. But optimism is the key for this airport- final answer ! DOOLAY [email protected]
Departed from El Catey airport June 2010 headed for Toronto then on to Calgary. Fantastic airport and what a relief from using Puerto Plata and then driving so far. Just wait for the new road to be completed and time to Las Terrenas will be even shorter again. Samana will no longer be the worlds best hidden secret. Visit me at my restaurant in Las Terrenas by sending me an email [email protected]. Paradise in paradise.
