Private Airport Transfers to Cabarete
Cabarete is the Dominican Republic's watersports capital, a north-coast town where the steady afternoon trade winds have made Kite Beach and La Boca world-famous for kitesurfing, windsurfing, and wing foiling. It draws a very specific kind of traveler: kiters and surfers hauling board bags, digital nomads settling in for a season, and adventurers heading out to Encuentro's reef breaks, the El Choco caves, or the 27 Waterfalls of Damajagua. After a long flight, the last thing you want is to negotiate a taxi fare with all that gear on the curb.
The nearest airport is Gregorio Luperón International (POP) in Puerto Plata, roughly a 25 to 30 minute drive west along the coast. Cabarete sits well to the north of our La Romana and Casa de Campo base, so we don't run a cheap fixed shuttle here. Instead, we arrange a private, custom-quoted transfer straight from POP to your Cabarete hotel, condo, or kite camp, priced honestly for the distance and your group size.
Every transfer is a private vehicle with a bilingual driver, meet and greet inside the terminal, and live flight tracking so your driver is already waiting if you land early or late. Board bags and oversized luggage are no problem when you tell us in advance. Request a quick custom quote with your flight details and final stop in Cabarete, and we'll confirm a fixed all-in price before you travel.

Cabarete's nearest airport is Gregorio Luperón International Airport (POP) in Puerto Plata, about 25 to 30 minutes west by road along the north coast. It's the natural gateway for Kite Beach, La Boca, and Encuentro.

- Which airport should I fly into for Cabarete?
- Fly into Gregorio Luperón International Airport (POP) in Puerto Plata. It's the closest airport, about a 25 to 30 minute drive from Cabarete along the coastal road, and it's where we meet you for your transfer.
- How long is the drive from Puerto Plata Airport (POP) to Cabarete?
- Around 25 to 30 minutes in normal traffic. The route runs east along the north coast through the edge of Sosúa, so it's a short, scenic trip after a long flight.
- Can you carry kitesurf, windsurf, or surfboard bags?
- Yes. Cabarete is a watersports town and we're used to board bags and oversized gear. Just tell us how many bags and their size when you request your quote so we send a vehicle with enough room.
- Why is this a custom quote instead of a fixed price?
- Our base is in La Romana and Casa de Campo, far to the south, so Cabarete isn't one of our standard fixed routes. We price each POP-to-Cabarete transfer individually based on distance, vehicle size, and your group, then confirm one fixed all-in figure before you book.
- How do I book and pay?
- Send your flight details and Cabarete drop-off, and we'll reply with a fixed quote. Once you approve it, a 20% deposit secures your private transfer and you pay the balance directly to your driver, in cash or card, on the day.
