Embark on an ecological odyssey. Enjoy a premium, secure, and private transfer from Punta Cana Airport (PUJ) directly to the gateway of Los Haitises National Park, the crown jewel of Dominican biodiversity.
Logistics of the journey: reaching the Sanctuary
Los Haitises is located on the remote Northeast coast. While many visit by boat, the land route via Sabana de la Mar offers a unique, scenic experience through the heart of the Dominican countryside.
Distance from PUJ airport: Approximately 95 miles (153 km) to Sabana de la Mar (the main gateway).
Travel time: Between 2 hours and 15 minutes to 2 hours and 45 minutes.
The best route: We travel via the Miches Highway, a modern and spectacular road that winds between the mountains and the Atlantic coastline, providing direct access to the park’s eco-lodges and docks.
Distance and travel time to key points in Los Haitises
The park area is vast. Here are the estimated logistics for the most common landing spots:

The route: A scenic masterpiece
The 95-mile drive to the Los Haitises region is considered one of the most beautiful in the country.
The Coastal escape: We leave the resort bustle of Punta Cana behind.
The Miches corridor: We drive through rolling green hills with the Atlantic Ocean to our right, passing through the emerging luxury destination of Miches.
The tropical rainforest: As we approach Sabana de la Mar, the vegetation turns into a dense, vibrant jungle—the perfect prelude to the limestone formations (mogotes) of the park.
