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 tyre, or road block etc) So anticipate a departure pick up that 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 its  bookable ONLY in advance,under optional extras on wetravel.

 

For those staying on 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.
