Description

Begin your day with a convenient pickup directly from your hotel in Samana, Las Terrenas, or Miches. Relax as an air-conditioned vehicle takes you to the port in Samana, where you’ll board a spacious, comfortable double-decker boat specially designed for whale watching. The upper deck offers panoramic 360° views, while the shaded lower deck provides comfort and easy access to restrooms and the bar. Once at sea, your expert marine biologist guide and experienced captain will navigate to the best observation zones inside the protected Samana Bay sanctuary. Watch in awe as massive humpback whales breach, slap their tails, and sing their haunting songs — behaviors you’ll witness up close in their natural environment. Thanks to the boat’s hydrophone system, you’ll even hear the males’ famous whale songs live. Throughout the excursion, enjoy complimentary soft drinks, rum, local mamajuana, water, and light snacks (sandwiches, fresh fruit). The crew is attentive, professional, and passionate about conservation, ensuring you have a safe and memorable experience. After approximately 2.5–3 hours on the water observing the whales, return to the port and transfer comfortably back to your hotel.
