Barahona & Pedernales
Pedernales & Bahía de las Águilas Private Transportation
Bahía de las Águilas is the beach the rest of the country talks about: eight kilometres of empty sand inside Jaragua National Park, reached through Pedernales and the Cabo Rojo coast in the far southwest. It is the Dominican Republic's emerging frontier destination, and it is genuinely far from every international airport.
That distance is the service. We run it as a premium long-distance private transfer: one vehicle and one chauffeur dedicated to your trip, an early departure window agreed with you in advance, comfort stops available on request, flight monitoring on arrival and one fixed quote confirmed before payment. Travelers rate us #1 for transportation in the Dominican Republic on Tripadvisor.
August in Pedernales & Bahía de las Águilas: highs around 31.8°C / 89°F, lows around 23.8°C / 75°F, typically wetter than the rest of the year.
