Description

1. The Show of the Giants Your trip begins with a comfortable transfer to Samaná Bay, the favorite destination of humpback whales (Yubartas) that travel thousands of kilometers from the North Atlantic. Upon boarding our boat, you will enter their sanctuary. Get ready to be amazed: you'll see 40-tonne jumps, powerful blows, and flapping fins as these majestic mammals seek a mate or care for their young in the warm Caribbean waters. 2. Jungle Adventure: El Limón Waterfall After the excitement at sea, we'll venture into the lush vegetation of the peninsula. You'll enjoy a trek (on foot or horseback) surrounded by coconut trees and coffee plantations until you reach the impressive El Limón Waterfall. Here, the water falls from a height of more than 40 meters into a natural pool of cool, crystal-clear water. The perfect place for an iconic photo and a refreshing dip! 3. Relax in Cayo Levantado (Bacardi Island) To top it all off, we'll sail to Cayo Levantado. This small island is the definition of paradise: golden sand, turquoise waters, and jungle vegetation that reaches the shore. Here, we'll enjoy a typical Dominican buffet lunch, and you'll have free time to swim or simply unwind with a piña colada under the palm trees.
