Las Galeras is a small village at the far end of the Samaná Peninsula in the Dominican Republic. It's famous for its world class lonely beaches, e.g. Playa Fronton or Playa Rincon.

Travel to Las Galeras

Getting there and away is the difficult part. Public transport is limited and the condition of the road to Samana was bad but has now been tarmaced and is smooth and comfortable. Caribetours offers transport from Santo Domingo to Santa Barbara De Samana and back six times daily. You can get in at the various stops in between. 4 of the 6 buses take the new highway and bring travel duration down to 3 hours. From Samana you will have to take a guagua, a local shuttle van, which takes another 1 hour. The shuttle vanes leave from the morning to the afternoon (6PM). The easier way to get there is by renting a vehicle in one of the bigger cities in the nation. Hereby you can avoid the fairly expensive transport fairs (15 US) later on, when you are planning to spend the day at one of the fabulous but hardly accessible beaches.

How to get around in Las Galeras

The motoconchos and the local motorbikedrivers, will take you about anywhere you want. Locals are also offering taxi service with their private cars. Check prices before you hop on.
