YOUR JOURNEY AT A GLANCE
Bahia Principe Explore Turquesa → agreed Samaná Bay boat connection → Cayo Levantado → confirmed return
A full land-and-boat day needs a dated itinerary. Confirm the actual embarkation point, total outing and useful time ashore before booking.
Match Grand Turquesa to today's Explore name
Hyatt explicitly identifies Explore Turquesa as the former Bahia Principe Grand Turquesa, a family resort in the Arena Gorda area of Punta Cana. Keep both names in your enquiry if the older wording appears on your documents. TRS Turquesa is a different property in the Palladium complex. Friends at other Bahia hotels should give their own reservation names rather than using Turquesa as a label for the whole complex.
Plan the journey from Arena Gorda
Use Arena Gorda with the complete property address. Ask the planner to distinguish your starting location from nearby hotel areas before assigning collection instructions.
Treat the hotel-to-boat journey as part of the excursion itself. The written proposal should name the road destination, the vessel and each additional stop. An itinerary with several attractions may allocate less time to Cayo Levantado than a beach-focused request.
What to confirm before leaving Bahia Principe Explore Turquesa
Compare collection-to-return time, not only the crossing to the island. Ask who coordinates the return vehicle if the boat timing changes, whether the same hotel is the final stop and what happens if weather affects the maritime segment.
A hotel reservation, room category or an all-inclusive meal plan does not establish the terms of an independent excursion. Get the collection location and the party’s boat requirements in writing before treating the request as confirmed.

Ask for Classic, Premium or Private according to the actual boat and itinerary you want. Resort room benefits do not transfer to Cayo Levantado Resort, and a request does not reserve a place.
