I do not recommend public transportaion because there's so many breathtaking views on the highway from Barahona to Pedernales that you will want to stop constantly to take pictures; having your own transportation will give you the freedom to stop whenever you want to take pictures, explore and talk to the people. There's a great deal to see and enjoy on that trip. I do not recommend overnight camping at Bahia de las Aguilas for safety reasons, if you need any pointers or any driving directions do not hesitate to PM me.

Thanks
Could you expand on overnight camping safety issues? Do you have first-hand experience? Is this for this area in general or camping in the DR in general? Once you are in the park it is pretty remote and my guess is that is anyone would come to bother you they would have to make the trip by boat.

Thanks
