By the Caretera Turistica, it's 66 km, then you would have to add on the distance from Santiago to STI airport, maybe another 25 km.

We do have one driver with whom you can reserve ahead who will do it for $70 US.

Depending on your arrival time and how much baggage you have, I would suggest a taxi to the main Caribe Bus Terminal in Santiago, then take the bus. They are air conditioned and very comfortable. Costs somewhere in the neighborhood of US $8/10. Taxi from the bus station on the other end can't be that much on into Sosua.

D&D have it right. Taxis into town from the airport are about RD$500 pesos or with an English speaking driver US$20 dollars. (Send a note to palomalinda0890@hotmail.com for a pick up and transfer to Sosúa for US$70 dollars)

The D&D suggestion is just a bit longer, and it is more interesting since you will be interacting with the "Locals" ..And you can get a cold beer at the bus terminal for about US$1.50....

Since you get in early enough, there will be plenty of time to do this.
