Description
Begin your adventure at the port of Samaná aboard a comfortable catamaran or boat. Cross the spectacular Samaná Bay as your local guide shares stories about the history, biodiversity, and pirate legends that made this region famous centuries ago.
Arrive at the breathtaking Los Haitises National Park, one of the Dominican Republic’s most important protected areas. Explore giant limestone islands (mogotes), natural mangrove channels, tropical rainforest coastline, bird sanctuaries with endemic species, and ancient caves with Taíno pictographs.
Visit famous caves including Cueva de la Línea and Cueva de la Arena. Inside the caves, discover ancient Taíno art and hear stories about pirates and corsairs who once used the hidden caves and mangrove channels as natural shelters while navigating the Caribbean Sea.
After visiting Los Haitises, continue sailing through the bay toward the legendary “Pirate Island,” a tropical paradise surrounded by turquoise Caribbean waters and white-sand beaches. According to local legends, pirates and corsairs once passed through these waters while traveling across the Caribbean. Stories of hidden treasure, secret caves, and pirate ships remain part of the island’s mysterious history.
Enjoy free time to swim in crystal-clear waters, relax under coconut palms, walk along white-sand beaches, take photos of the tropical scenery, and enjoy the peaceful Caribbean atmosphere. A delicious Dominican lunch is included near the beach area before returning to Samaná.
