STI airport transfer to Río San Juan and Cabrera

What this stretch of coast offers

Río San Juan is a small fishing town on the north coast famous for the Gri-Gri lagoon — a mangrove boat trip to sea caves and a natural pool — and for Playa Grande, one of the most photographed beaches in the country, a wide stretch below dramatic cliffs a short drive from town. Cabrera sits a little further east along the same road, quieter still, with its own smaller beaches, cliffside villas and Playa Preciosa. The route from STI runs the Cordillera Septentrional pass toward Puerto Plata and Sosúa, then continues east past Cabarete on a coast road that narrows and slows through several small towns. Because most stays here are villas or boutique properties rather than branded resorts, we confirm the exact address or a pin before the driver leaves Santiago.

Hotels, villas and drop-off points

Río San Juan and Cabrera are mostly small hotels, guesthouses and cliffside villas rather than large resorts. Send the property name or a pin and we confirm the exact drop-off.

Hotels drop at the entrance. Villas on the cliff roads often have gates with an intercom or a caretaker; send the owner's contact and we agree the meeting point before the driver leaves.

Bigger groups

7–14 passengers ride in a passenger van: +$20 on Standard, +$40 on VIP for this zone. Golf bags, strollers, wheelchairs and surf gear are fine — give us the luggage count and we send the right vehicle instead of guessing at the curb.
