Getting around by bus and coach Santo Domingo

Caribe Tours serves all the country's tourist centers and major cities, with very frequent connections. You can check timetables and bus status, and book your tickets on the website (it's sometimes a little difficult to book a journey from a city other than Santo Domingo, so if you're travelling in the opposite direction, go to one of the company's counters at the bus station). Caribe Tours is a reliable, economical and relatively comfortable way to travel around the island.

For more than 30 years, this bus company has been serving Santiago, Puerto Plata, Sosúa and Casa de Campo. It is possible to book a whole bus (capacity of 58, 54 or 16 passengers) or to ask for particular services during a musical tour for example. The Autobuses Metro website provides all the information you need for a successful trip: bus timetables, traffic information, online booking, etc. The bus routes run regularly and the buses are comfortable. You can be sure of a smooth journey.

The guaguas are small public transport buses, with very affordable prices and a very typical atmosphere, which serve the whole country. Departures are usually from Santo Domingo's Parque Independencia station, or from Parque Enriquillo. Depending on fares and timetables, you may or may not have air-conditioning, which is very useful if you're taking a long journey... Please note that if your luggage takes up a seat, you will be charged for an additional seat. For journeys as close as possible to the daily lives of local residents.
