When you land at Punta Cana International Airport (PUJ), your driver will typically meet you just outside the arrivals terminal. The journey to the resort is relatively short and scenic, moving from the busy airport hub into the lush, palm-lined corridors of the Bávaro region.

Distance and estimated travel time

The total driving distance between Punta Cana International Airport and Paradisus Grand Cana is approximately 12 miles (about 19 kilometers).

Under normal traffic conditions, the journey takes about 20 to 25 minutes. During peak afternoon hours or heavy rainy days, the travel time might increase by 10 or 15 minutes, but the route is generally very efficient.

Your transfer vehicle will exit the airport and head northwest, primarily utilizing the Boulevard Turístico del Este (Hwy 105). This is a modern, well-maintained highway that serves as the main artery for the Punta Cana area.

After traveling along the highway for several miles, your driver will turn toward the Avenida Alemania or the Avenida Barceló in the Paraje de Bávaro district.

Comparing Canatransfers with other options

Where is My CanaTransfers Driver?

Terminal A Meeting Point: Once you exit the glass doors into the fresh air, look for the “Pre-booked/Tour Operator” area. Your driver will be standing in the designated waiting zone holding a CanaTransfers digital tablet or a professional sign with your name.

Terminal B Meeting Point: Terminal B is more organized but can be busier. Exit the customs area and follow the signs to Transport/Taxi. Look for our uniformed driver near the Cafeteria/Meeting area. We stay away from the chaotic taxi lines to ensure a calm greeting.
