Please keep in mind that if you do not have plans for hiring a car at your port of arrival, or booking a private driver, (we have a trusted one of many years that we can recommend) las Galeras is :
-75 kilometers from El Catey Samana airport (1 hour drive)
- 190 kilometers from Las Americas airport in Santo Domingo (3 hour drive)
- 340 kilometers from Punta Cana airport (5 hour drive).

There are affordable and dependable buses available, but the journey is anywhere from 5-9 hours depending on your arrival city and transfers. You may need to plan an extra day for travel.

The cost of a taxi transfer with our driver is
-US$ 70 from El Catey Samana airport
-US$ 200 from Santo Domingo airport
-US$ 300 from Punta Cana airport.

If you arrive by Punta Cana airport and want to avoid the 5 hour long rental car (we do not advise you to drive by night) or taxi drive, you also have the option to organize a air transfer :

-either by small plane from Punta Cana airport to our local Arroyo Barril airport which is then only a 45 minutes taxi drive to Javo Beach (cost US$ 50). The cost for 2 persons is about US$ 775 and can be booked through Dominican Shuttles : www dominicanshuttles com
-or by helicopter from Punta Cana airport directly to the Javo Beach helipad. The cost varies between US$ 1,900 and US$ 2,200 depending on the dates and company used : www puntacanahelicopters com or www helidosa com

We can provide a secure parking for your vehicle.

The property has a private helipad. GPS coordinates provided upon request.

In case the Nest is not available at your selected dates, we suggest you check the availability of our other properties, Javo Beach Villa Noah, Javo Beach the Cottage and Javo Beach The Grange
