Description
Begin your adventure at the Samaná Port. Board a comfortable catamaran and cruise through the protected Humpback Whale Sanctuary. Between January and March, these gentle giants migrate to the warm Caribbean waters to mate and give birth.
Enjoy front-row views of whales breaching and playing, while your expert marine guide shares fascinating information about their behaviors and conservation.
After your whale encounter, continue to Cayo Levantado (Bacardí Island)—a tropical paradise with turquoise waters and soft white sand. Enjoy a Dominican-style buffet lunch featuring fresh seafood, grilled chicken, rice, and local fruits. Spend some time swimming, relaxing, or exploring this postcard-perfect island before returning to Samaná.
Once back in the city, the adventure continues with a guided kayaking tour around the Samaná Bay City Center. Paddle along the scenic coastline with panoramic views of the colorful town and hills.
Visit the “Bridges to Nowhere” (Puentes de Samaná)—a series of small pedestrian bridges connecting tiny islets across the bay. Stop to walk one of the bridges, take photos, and learn about the local history and architecture.
