How Long Does a Transfer to Sabana de la Mar Take?

Visiting Sabana de la Mar is becoming an increasingly popular choice for eco-tourists arriving at Punta Cana. One of the most common questions is about travel time.

• Average Travel Time: Approximately 2 hours.
• The Route: The journey takes you through the lush landscapes of the eastern Dominican Republic, transitioning from the flat coastal plains of Punta Cana to the rolling hills and rice paddies of the El Seibo province.

While public buses can take up to 5 hours with multiple transfers, a CanaTransfers private ride gets you there directly in half the time, allowing you to start your eco-adventure sooner.

Distance and Route: The Scenic Drive

The distance between Punta Cana Airport and Sabana de la Mar is approximately 140 kilometers (87 miles). Unlike the busy tourist strips, this route offers a genuine glimpse into the Dominican countryside.

As you travel north, you will pass through vibrant towns like Higuey and El Seibo. The drive is scenic, featuring verdant foliage, majestic mountain backdrops of the Oriental Mountain Range, and rustic villages. It’s not just a transfer; it’s a sightseeing tour of the “real” Dominican Republic.

The CanaTransfers Advantage

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.

The Canatransfers “contact protocol”

To ensure you never feel “stranded,” we follow a strict communication plan:

Before takeoff: You’ll receive a WhatsApp message from your personal concierge.

Upon landing: Once you turn on your phone, you’ll have a message with your driver’s name and live location.

Visual confirmation: Our drivers wear professional uniforms and use high-visibility branding. No handwritten cardboard signs—only professional tablets.
