Description
Embark on a once-in-a-lifetime adventure in the Dominican Republic, where you’ll witness the breathtaking spectacle of humpback whale watching in the warm waters of Samaná Bay. Departing from your hotel, travel through the stunning Eastern Plains towards Las Cañitas, where you’ll board a comfortable boat to the Whale Sanctuary. Spend 2.5 hours searching for these majestic creatures as they breach, slap their tails, and care for their young in their natural habitat.
After this unforgettable wildlife experience, set sail to Cayo Levantado (Bacardí Island), a tropical paradise with white sandy beaches and turquoise waters. Enjoy a delicious Dominican-style buffet lunch and relax on the beach for 1.5 hours.
Next, continue your journey to the mainland, where you’ll board a safari-style truck and head into the lush jungle to a local ranch. From there, hop on a horseback ride through untouched forest trails, following the riverside path towards the spectacular Salto El Limón, a 60-meter-high waterfall. Take a refreshing dip in its cool waters before heading back to the ranch.
To conclude this epic adventure, board the boat back to Las Cañitas and enjoy the scenic ride before returning to your hotel, carrying unforgettable memories of this unique excursion.
