Private Transfer: La Romana / Casa de Campo to Bayahibe / Dominicus
Bayahibe is the closest beach town to Casa de Campo and the launch point for almost every Saona Island and Catalina Island excursion, so this is one of the shortest and most-requested trips we run. From the resort gates to the Bayahibe fishing village it is barely a 20-minute hop along the Autovía del Coral, which means no shared shuttle waiting around and no juggling taxis on the morning of your boat tour.
We run it as a private, point-to-point transfer in a clean, air-conditioned vehicle that is yours alone. The price is fixed before you book, so there is no surge pricing and no OTA markup tacked on at the curb. If your day starts early at the Bayahibe or Dominicus marina, your driver gets you there with time to spare for check-in.
To reserve, you pay a 20% deposit online and settle the rest directly with your driver at the pickup. You will get a bilingual local driver who knows the difference between dropping you at the public Playa Bayahibe pier and the resorts out in Dominicus, and child seats are available on request.

Frequently asked questions
- How much is a transfer from Casa de Campo or La Romana to Bayahibe?
- Fares are fixed and start at $54.64 one-way for up to 5 passengers, or $108.96 round-trip (which includes a 3-hour wait). Larger groups are priced by vehicle size, and you will see the exact total before you confirm.
- How long does the drive to Bayahibe take?
- Around 20-25 minutes from the Casa de Campo / La Romana area, traveling the Autovía del Coral. It is one of the shortest transfers we offer, which is why it is so popular for early-morning Saona Island tours.
- Can you get me there in time for my Saona Island excursion?
- Yes. Bayahibe is the departure port for most Saona and Catalina Island boat tours, and these often board early. Tell us your boat or marina check-in time and we will schedule pickup so you arrive with a comfortable buffer.
- Should I book a one-way or a round trip?
- If you are spending the day in Bayahibe or on a tour, the round-trip option is the easy choice: it includes a 3-hour driver wait, so the same driver brings you back. For a one-way move (for example checking into a Dominicus resort), one-way is fine.
- How do I pay, and are child seats available?
- You secure the booking with a 20% deposit online and pay the remaining balance directly to your driver at the pickup, in cash or as agreed. Child seats are free on request, just add the ages of any children when you book.
