If you plan on coming between October and May, you may want to carry an umbrella as the rain can last several hours.

As such, it is possible during this season to strike a bargain Dominican Republic flight and find low cost air tickets.

Getting Around the Dominican Republic

You have several choices when it comes to getting around the Dominican Republic. Air Santo Domingo offers cheap domestic Dominican Republic flights between all the airports. Trains are not available, so for the adventurous traveler the best choice are guaguas, the Dominican Republic's name for local buses. Caribe Tours offers bus services for longer journeys between Punta Cana, La Romana, and Santo Domingo. Cheap, frequent, and friendly, the guaguas are the main form of transportation and readily available from pretty much anywhere; however, they do stop at dusk and are often quite full. Taxis are plentiful but are not cheap and car rentals are not recommended as the roads and drivers can be troublesome.
