Samana: Guided Day Trip with Buffet Lunch and Whale Watching
Enjoy a unique event in the Dominican Republic, the Humpback Whale Watching sanctuary who visit our shores in Samana Bay once a year, from January to the end of March and come to mate and give birth to their calves.
The experience starts leaving from your Hotels and through the Eastern plain, towards Las Cañitas de Miches.
Once at the Las Cañitas Dock, we embark to go to the Whale Sanctuary, where we will remain for approximately 2 and half hours.
After the sighting, head to Cayo Levantado or Bacardi Island, where we will have lunch and beach time (approximately 1 hour and 30 minutes).
After lunch, we board the boat again to go to the Samana Pier where the Safari Truck awaits us to go to the Ranch, where we will take a ride for about 30 minutes through the virgin forest
and along the banks of the river until we reach the El Limon Waterfall, with a height of more than 60 meters high, to enjoy a refreshing and rejuvenating dip.
