Samaná El Catey Airport (AZS) Private Transfers
El Catey is the Samaná peninsula's own international airport, and when your flight lands here the drive to Las Terrenas, Samaná town or Las Galeras is the shortest one available. Your chauffeur meets you in the terminal and takes you directly to your resort, villa or rental address.
AZS runs on a thin seasonal schedule, though, so most travelers heading to Samaná arrive at Santo Domingo (SDQ) and drive the Nordeste highway corridor instead. We serve both patterns as one direct private trip, and the vehicle is exclusively yours either way. Travelers rate us #1 for transportation in the Dominican Republic on Tripadvisor.
