Description

Set off from Punta Cana on a full-day voyage blending marine life encounters and idyllic beach moments. Begin with a scenic ride to Las Cañitas, where you board a boat bound for the Whale Sanctuary in Samaná Bay. Spend approximately 2½ hours at sea, keeping watch as humpback whales swim, breach, and sometimes nurture their calves, offering unforgettable displays of nature. After this magical marine experience, travel back to the pier and continue by land to the untouched Playa Rincón. Surrounded by lush mountains and fringed with swaying palms, this beach invites you to unwind, swim, and bask in sunshine. Enjoy a lunch infused with local flavors, served beachfront, letting you taste the Dominican coast with views to match. With appetites satisfied, continue by boat to Cayo Levantado (often called Bacardi Island). Here, enjoy powder-white sands, crystal-clear waters, shade under coconut trees, and time to shop for local crafts or simply sunbathe. At day’s end, transport will take you back to your hotel in Punta Cana, filled with memories of whales, waves, and tropical beauty.
