Cheap flights from San Francisco (SJC) to Punta Cana (LRM)

Skip the battle with San Francisco traffic. Climb on the BART Rapid Rail or the Caltrain Commuter Rail, both of which offer service to San Francisco International (SFO). Plan to watch a movie or two in-air, as flight times are usually around seven-and-a-half hours.

Many Punta Cana hotels offer shuttle service from the airport. If your hotel doesn't offer this service, pick up a rental car from one of the many companies operating out of the airport.

Attractions

If you've come to Punta Cana to work on your tan, spend time at Bavaro Beach, a popular beach on which to catch some rays. If you're a fan of golf, visit Punta Espada Golf Course, which was declared one of the best in the world by "GolfWeek."

Tourists looking for a break from the sun, should visit the Hard Rock Casino and gamble away an afternoon. Feed your craving for something sweet with a visit to ChocoMuseo. At this museum dedicated to all things chocolate, you can craft your own confections using organic Dominican cacao.

Hints and tips

If you want to stay in an all-inclusive resort, consider selecting accommodations in Bavaro. For close proximity to culturally important sites, select a hotel in Hiquey. Regardless of when you visit Punta Cana, you can expect beautiful weather. Because the temperature changes very little from month to month, this location is a safe bet year-round.
