Description

Begin your adventure with a comfortable shuttle ride from Punta Cana to a coastal dock. Board a speedboat or catamaran and cruise across the bright blue waters of Samaná Bay, possibly with dolphins dancing alongside your vessel. Upon reaching Samaná, stroll through the colorful streets of Santa Bárbara de Samaná, admiring its Caribbean-style architecture and the iconic Puente de Samaná bridge, which connects small islets just off the shore. Next, venture to El Limón Waterfall, a dramatic cascade approximately 52 meters tall nestled within lush tropical foliage. Choose to hike through verdant jungle paths or ride horseback through the forest to reach this majestic site. Upon arrival, plunge into the refreshing pool at the waterfall’s base and soak in the soothing ambiance of the natural surroundings. Continue your journey with a visit to Cayo Levantado, commonly called Bacardí Island. Spend time lounging under the sun, taking a dip, sipping on fresh coconut water, or indulging in a delicious Dominican-style seafood meal while marveling at the breathtaking ocean vistas. For lovers of nature, the tour includes a visit to the magnificent Los Haitises National Park. This unique ecological reserve is renowned for its dramatic limestone karsts rising from the sea, intricate mangrove forests, and ancient Taino cave art—alongside abundant wildlife, such as pelicans and frigatebirds soaring overhead. Wrap up your day with a return boat and bus ride back to Punta Cana—or to your hotel—with your hearts full and your camera memory brimming with spectacular images of the Dominican Republic’s most magical spots.
