Situated on the northeastern coast of the Dominican Republic, this hidden gem promises a blend of natural beauty, and Caribbean charm away from the crowds.

Here’s what Canadian travelers need to know:

Choosing your flights: Select flights to the Samaná El Catey International Airport (AZS), the nearest airport to Santa Barbara de Samaná. Airlines like Air Canada, WestJet, Sunwing Airlines, and the new budget-friendly Arajet offer convenient routes. Flight durations range from 4 to 6 hours, depending on your departure city and route.
This is a major upside versus flying to Santo Domingo, which is 2.5 hs away by car.

 

Entry Requirements: Canadian citizens must have a valid passport to enter the Dominican Republic. Tourist visas aren’t required for stays up to 30 days, but you do need to have a return ticket. Ensure your passport is valid for at least six months beyond your intended departure date. You must fill the E-ticket form before entry:  https://eticket.migracion.gob.do

 

Health Considerations: While no specific vaccinations are required for Canadian travelers entering the Dominican Republic, staying up-to-date on routine vaccinations is advisable. There are no COVID related restrictions.

 

Customs Regulations: A maximum of 20 packs of cigarettes, 25 cigars, or 200 grams of tobacco. Up to three (3) liters in total of wine, beer, rum, whisky, or liquor. Gifts valued up to US$500 (five hundred United States dollars) once every three months. Personal use medications in quantities justifying the exclusive use of the passenger. For medications containing psychotropic substances, a medical prescription supporting their use must be presented.

Currency regulations should also be considered; the Dominican Peso (DOP) is the official currency, but US dollars are widely accepted.

 

Travel Insurance: Consider purchasing comprehensive travel insurance covering medical emergencies, trip cancellations, and other unforeseen circumstances. This provides peace of mind and financial protection during your trip.

 

Airport Transfers and Accommodations: Arrange airport transfers in advance to ensure a smooth transition from the airport to your accommodation in Santa Barbara de Samaná.
