Title: Los Haitises from La Romana or Miches: Departure Points and Transport Locale: en Canonical HTML URL: https://lrmairporttransfer.com/en/guides/los-haitises-departure-points-transport Updated: 2026-11-03 Author: LRM dispatch desk, La Romana Operator: LRM Airport Transfer — A&M Caribbean Group SRL # Los Haitises from La Romana or Miches: Departure Points and Transport Plan Los Haitises road transport from La Romana or Miches: confirm the boat departure point, cave access, inclusions and return collection. ## Direct answer Confirm your excursion’s exact embarkation point before arranging the drive. Caño Hondo near Sabana de la Mar and departures from Samaná are different arrangements. Road transport alone does not include a boat, park admission or a guide. ## Start with your hotel and excursion booking Los Haitises is a national park in the northeast of the Dominican Republic, known for its limestone scenery and mangroves. La Romana, Casa de Campo, Bayahibe, Dominicus and Miches are different starting points. Send the precise hotel location and excursion confirmation. The [LRM–Miches airport route](/en/lrm-to-miches) prices airport transport to accommodation, not this outing. ## Caño Hondo, Sabana de la Mar or Samaná? Caño Hondo in the Sabana de la Mar area is an access point for park boat trips; excursions also depart from Samaná, across the bay. These are not interchangeable meeting points. Ask your operator for the exact dock pin, check-in location, local contact and boarding deadline. A generic “Los Haitises” map destination is insufficient. If driving independently, read the [rental-car versus private-transfer comparison](/en/guides/rental-car-vs-private-transfer-lrm) and confirm parking and the final road approach with the operator. ## Separate the road journey from the excursion Get written confirmation of hotel pickup, the road journey, boat, guide, park admission and any meal or extra stop. An inclusive package may already cover the road leg; do not book it twice. For road transport only, request a tailored quote and identify who supplies each other service. The [private-driver day-trip guide](/en/guides/day-trips-la-romana-private-driver) helps define waiting and the return journey. No excursion fare or unverified driving time is quoted here. ## Cave access: check the current itinerary The Environment Ministry announced the temporary closure of Cueva de La Línea on 23 June 2026 because of deterioration of its access dock. At our 3 November 2026 review, we found no official reopening confirmation. Do not count on that cave: obtain an updated itinerary and current access confirmation before paying. This notice concerns that cave, not a blanket closure of the whole park. Other caves, landings and trails still require confirmation for your date; a brochure is not an access guarantee. ## Check boat boarding and passenger needs Tell the excursion provider children’s ages, mobility needs and any difficulty boarding a boat. Ask about suitable life jackets, boarding assistance, steps, walking surfaces and the actual boat itinerary before committing. A child seat or suitable vehicle on the road does not establish suitability aboard the boat. Bring drinking water, sun and rain protection, shoes with grip and a way to keep essentials dry. Follow park and crew instructions. ## Weather, waiting and the return meeting Reconfirm operation and cancellation terms with the excursion provider and road arrangements with the driver. Decide whether the vehicle waits or returns later, and record included waiting, extra charges, contact details and the exact collection point. Do not assume the boat returns to its departure dock or precisely on schedule. The [weather and transfer-planning guide](/en/guides/hurricane-season-lrm-transfer) supports contingency planning; road rebooking terms do not automatically apply to the boat. ## Adding a stop or catching a flight afterward A combined visit needs a specifically agreed itinerary, not an assumption that another attraction is on the way. Check [Montaña Redonda access and separate summit transport](/en/guides/montana-redonda-visit-transport) before requesting that addition. If flying afterward, allow for the boat’s return, road conditions and airport check-in using the [LRM departure-planning guide](/en/guides/departure-buffers-lrm). No excursion can guarantee an onward flight connection. ## Your road-transport request checklist Send the date, precise accommodation, passenger count, children’s ages, luggage and boarding needs. Include the excursion confirmation, exact dock, check-in deadline, local operator contact, confirmed return point and onward commitments. Use [our booking process](/en/how-it-works) to request written scope and a road-transport quote, subject to confirmation. Arrange the boat, admission and guide separately unless your excursion booking explicitly includes them. ## FAQ ### Does booking a car include a Los Haitises boat trip? No. Road transport alone does not include the boat, admission or guide. Check your excursion’s written inclusions before arranging a separate car. ### Should every visitor go to Caño Hondo? No. Use the precise embarkation point on your confirmed booking. Caño Hondo near Sabana de la Mar and Samaná departures are different arrangements. ### Is Cueva de La Línea confirmed open? Not by our review on 3 November 2026. We found the official temporary-closure notice but no official reopening confirmation. Ask for current access information and an updated itinerary. ## Request the road journey Send your accommodation and confirmed excursion meeting details. We can review the road-transport request; boat and park arrangements need their own confirmation.
