Description

Discover the magic of Samaná, a lush peninsula on the northeast coast of the Dominican Republic, renowned for its natural beauty and designation as one of the World’s Most Beautiful Bays by UNESCO. This destination, also recognized as a Global Ecotourism Paradise, is home to the breathtaking migration of humpback whales, observable from mid January to early April when over 3,500 of these majestic creatures visit its warm waters. Your adventure begins with a scenic boat ride from Sabana de la Mar to Samaná Bay. Upon arrival, you'll embark on an exciting horseback ride to the majestic Limón Waterfall. Standing 50 meters tall, this waterfall features a natural pool surrounded by lush tropical rainforest, perfect for a refreshing dip. Next, you'll board a safari truck for a tour of the historic city of Samaná, discovered by Christopher Columbus in 1493. During the tour, you'll learn about its rich history and the first encounter between Europeans and natives. After the city tour, you’ll enjoy a Dominican buffet at a countryside restaurant, featuring a variety of local dishes and fresh tropical fruits. Then, you'll head to Cayo Levantado, also known as 'Bacardi Island,' where you'll have free time to relax on its white sandy beaches and turquoise waters. Finally, you'll return to the mainland and be transferred back to your accommodation, carrying with you unforgettable memories of a day filled with nature, history, and relaxation in one of the most beautiful corners of the Caribbean.
