Description

Start your unforgettable eco-adventure with a comfortable hotel pick-up from the Punta Cana or Bávaro area. Travel in an air-conditioned bus with your professional guide to the port of Las Cañitas, where your journey to the Samaná Peninsula begins. Board a modern catamaran and set sail across the turquoise waters of Samaná Bay. From January to March, this bay becomes a sanctuary for majestic humpback whales that migrate here to breed and care for their young. Observe these incredible animals from a respectful distance as your expert guide shares fascinating facts about their behavior and conservation. After this once-in-a-lifetime encounter, continue by boat to Cayo Levantado, also known as Bacardi Island. Enjoy time to relax on its pristine white-sand beaches, swim in crystal-clear waters, and savor a traditional Dominican buffet lunch with refreshing drinks. Next, take a short drive to the ranch where your horseback adventure to El Limón Waterfall begins. Ride through lush tropical trails surrounded by coconut palms and exotic flora until you reach the spectacular El Limón Waterfall, cascading 50 meters into a natural pool. Take a refreshing dip or simply admire the beauty of this hidden paradise. After a full day of exploration, return by catamaran to the mainland and board your bus back to Punta Cana — ending the day with wonderful memories of whales, waterfalls, and the best of the Dominican Republic’s nature.
