Description

Begin with a comfortable bus transfer to Las Cañitas Pier in Miches, where you’ll board a scenic boat ride toward the province of Samaná. Upon arrival, enjoy a guided walking stroll through the heart of Samaná town. Pass by local churches, administrative buildings, and vibrant streets, all while soaking up cultural insights from your host. Next, travel to Playa Rincón, a pristine white-sand beach stretching several miles along the coastline. Enjoy free time to sunbathe, swim, or wander at your own pace. After that, the adventure continues to Caño Frío, where you’ll board a traditional canoe and drift through mangrove-lined waterways, taking in the lush landscape and serene ambiance. Around midday, savor a freshly prepared Dominican lunch. Choose between tender chicken or fish, accompanied by coconut rice, fried plantains (tostones), fresh salad, coconut bread, and seasonal fruit. Beverages such as soft drinks, water, and a local rum are also available to complement your meal. After lunch, return to the water to catch a boat over to Cayo Levantado (also called “Bacardi Island”). Spend relaxing moments under swaying palms, swim in turquoise waters, or simply unwind on the shore. Later, reboard the boat and return to the pier, then be driven back to your original pickup location. Throughout the day, your guide will narrate stories, share local lore, and ensure the journey flows smoothly — from bus to boat to beach and back again. This tour offers a balance of leisure, exploration, and local flavor, perfect for travelers wanting to see multiple highlights in one day.
