Directions for your airport transfer in Punta Cana
Punta Cana International Airport (PUJ) is a privately owned international transport hub located in Punta Cana and is the busiest airport in the Dominican Republic. The airport is located just 5 km from the city center, so a Punta Cana airport taxi shouldn’t take longer than 10 minutes to get there.
After exiting the airport, your driver will head west until they get to a roundabout, where they will take the 2nd exit. You will then see Hotel Four Points, and your driver will reach another roundabout, where they will take the 2nd exit onto Blvd. 1ro. de Noviembre. After around 1 km, you will reach the final roundabout in the city center. From here, your driver will take the corresponding exit to head in the direction of your chosen hotel or resort.
