Cabarete to STI airport transfer

When we recommend leaving Cabarete

We recommend a pickup 3.5 to 4 hours before your flight from Cabarete, the longest coastal buffer we set on the Cibao side. The drive runs back through Sosúa and Puerto Plata before climbing the Cordillera Septentrional pass, so it is the longest local leg to STI, and kiteboarding and surf-lesson schedules on Kite Beach and Encuentro often run right up to checkout time. STI's terminal itself is quick, so the extra margin is for the road and for guests who are still packing up boards and gear when the driver arrives. For a group of six or more, or a Saturday changeover when several camps check out together, use the top end of the range.
