When we recommend leaving Bayahibe
We recommend a lobby pickup 3.5 to 4 hours before your flight time out of Bayahibe or Dominicus. This is our own operating figure, built around a genuine highway run rather than a resort-strip shuttle: the drive is 60 to 75 minutes on the main road toward Higüey and then east to PUJ, with no shortcuts if traffic backs up near La Romana or Higüey town. Guests coming off a dive boat or a Saona Island excursion often cut it close on the return, so we plan the pickup around your last confirmed activity rather than around checkout alone. Add the PUJ counter and security queues on top and the longer end of the buffer is the safer choice for a group of six or a midday flight bank.
