The Dominican Republic has several international airports that are well-serviced by charters from both Europe and the Americas. To get to Cabarete, most people fly into Puerto Plata International Airport just half an hour away. Santo Domingo and Punta Cana are further away but many charter flights fly to these airports at very interesting prices so sometimes it can make sense to fly into one of these airports and organize a taxi to from the airport to Cabarete. From there, you can take a taxi or a shuttle to your accommodation.
Once you and your guide agree on the details of your itinerary, your guide will suggest the best place to meet.
