The experience

The service starts the moment you land. Provide your flight number and arrival time when you book, and a driver will be waiting at the airport exit with a sign bearing your name. This eliminates the usual scramble for ground transport and the uncertainty of finding a taxi or shuttle. The transfer covers the route from the airport to Sosua Beach, with your guide available throughout to answer questions about the area.

Sosua Beach is a sheltered cove with calm, clear water and a developed shoreline of restaurants and shops. You'll have the full 6 hours to swim, snorkel, or simply rest on the sand. The beach draws both cruise passengers and independent travelers, so it fills up during peak hours but remains accessible throughout the day. Your driver remains available for the return journey to the airport or your port of call at Taino Bay or Maimon, timed to your departure.

The vehicle is wheelchair accessible, and the beach areas are flat and navigable. Infants can travel in a specialized seat or sit on an adult's lap. If you have mobility concerns or spinal injuries, discuss your needs when booking so the operator can confirm the setup works for your situation. Public transportation runs in the area if you prefer to explore independently during your beach time.
