ARRIVAL- PUNTA CANA INTERNATIONAL AIRPORT ( PUJ)

Immigration and Customs arrival in Punta Cana

Please complete your immigration and customs form no sooner than 7 days prior to

arrival at https://eticket.migracion.gob.do/. It is FREE of charge.

The Tourist Card is already included in your plane ticket at the time of purchase.

You will need your hotel information to put on the card; name and address so please have it handy.

After Immigration you proceed through customs lines before exiting.

Punta Cana VIP arrival airport services: if you booked this optional extra (see General information) you should already have your letter with instructions. You will be met after disembarking by a Punta Cana VIP agent holding a name sign and taken to a small lounge where you will be offered a soft drink or water, whilst your documents are processed and then you will exit to our waiting agent, avoiding the often very long queues.

AIRPORT SHUTTLE TO OUR RESORT

After you exit Customs, look for an agent with your name on a sign. Our agents are from LIBERTY TRAVEL

• Liberty Travel is our transportation agent for your shuttle transfer to the hotel, which is included in your package. If you prefer not to wait on the shuttle transfer (it can be a wait of 5-45 minutes), you can prebook an upgrade to private car in WeTravel under “Optional Extras.”

• Driving time to the resort: 45 minutes, depending on the time of day and traffic.

• Don’t worry if you have a flight delay; our airport team automatically monitors all flights and adjusts accordingly. They will be waiting for you.

Departures

Shuttle times are preassigned and will be posted in the WhatsApp group.

You are required to check in 3 hours prior to your flight. We also allot time for any road delays that could occur (flat tire, roadblock, etc.). So anticipate a departure pickupthat is about 4 hours prior to your flight departure time as a rough guideline. The precise times are posted the evening prior. Driving time to PUJ is approximately 45 minutes. Remember that it takes time to load the buses, especially with loading so many bike cases, so please be EARLY.

• If you are late, you will be obliged to take a taxi at your expense.

• We will NOT hold the bus for you, as there are other participants who need to catch their flights.

• There is an option to book a private transfer, if you wish, but it is bookable ONLY in advance, under optional extras on WeTravel.

For those staying an additional day or two, we have some optional activities you may want to consider, and the Liberty Travel tour rep can assist you with booking those tours. Once the extended stay was booked with Cycle Caribbean at our resort, then we do still provide airport transfers as part of the package.
