Description

Begin with a comfortable transfer from your hotel, followed by a scenic ride through lush countryside before reaching the coastal port. From there, board a boat and cross the beautiful Samaná Bay, enjoying panoramic ocean views along the way. Once in Samaná, continue your adventure with a countryside safari-style ride that takes you deep into tropical landscapes. Arrive at a local ranch where your next experience begins—a guided horseback journey through dense greenery leading to the famous El Limón Waterfall. This impressive cascade drops from a height of around 67 meters, creating a refreshing natural pool where you can relax and take photos. After exploring the waterfall, return to the ranch to enjoy a traditional Dominican-style lunch featuring local flavors. Later, head to the stunning island of Cayo Levantado, often called Bacardi Island, known for its powdery white sands and crystal-clear waters. Here, you’ll have free time to unwind, swim, or simply soak up the Caribbean atmosphere beneath swaying palm trees.
