Description

Start your day with a comfortable bus ride from Punta Cana to a port where you will board a speedboat or a catamaran to cross the stunning waters of Samaná Bay. The boat ride is an adventure in itself, offering magnificent ocean views and sometimes even glimpses of dolphins swimming nearby. Upon arrival in Samaná, explore the charming town of Santa Bárbara de Samaná, the region’s capital. This coastal town is known for its colorful Caribbean architecture, friendly locals, and the famous Puente de Samaná, a picturesque bridge connecting small islands off the coast. Next, visit the El Limón Waterfall, a breathtaking 52-meter (170-foot) cascade hidden in the dense tropical rainforest. The adventure begins with a horseback ride or a hike through lush jungle trails, passing rivers and tropical plantations. Once you arrive, take a refreshing dip in the natural pool beneath the waterfall, surrounded by the sounds of nature. Continue to Cayo Levantado, also known as Bacardi Island, a stunning tropical island with white sandy beaches, turquoise waters, and lush palm trees. Unwind, sunbathe, or enjoy a delicious Dominican-style seafood lunch. Explore the island, sip on fresh coconut water, or relax on the soft sand while taking in the breathtaking ocean views. For nature lovers, a visit to Los Haitises National Park is a must. This ecological sanctuary is famous for its majestic limestone rock formations rising from the sea, mysterious caves with ancient Taino petroglyphs, and mangrove forests teeming with wildlife, including exotic birds like pelicans and frigates.
