Description

Sail across the beautiful Samaná Bay on a catamaran cruise. Admire the landscapes and breathe in the tranquility of this beautiful bay, home to the Los Haitises National Park, a UNESCO Biosphere Reserve. Visit the colorful town of Santa Bárbara de Samaná and see the El Limón Waterfall. Set sail across the Samaná Bay, part of the Dominican Republic's Marine Mammal Sanctuary. Keep an eye out for humpback whales, which visit the bay from January to March. Arrive at the port of Santa Bárbara de Samaná, a colorful town that will catch your eye. Learn about the town's history and its name, which comes from the old Taino word Xamaná, which the first chroniclers of the Indies wrote as Zammna. The meaning of the word is not entirely clear, but it is thought to be Phoenician, meaning 'Place where the Carthaginian chief Zammna arrived.' The indigenous people pronounced that name as Chamana. Next, visit the majestic 40-meter-high El Limón Waterfall, which has cool water all year round. Refresh yourself in the waterfall, see native plants such as the white Cigua or the royal palm, and enjoy stunning views. Ride a horse through the tropical jungle to reach the waterfall. The ride is at a slow pace, and a horse caretaker will accompany you. Finally, visit Cayo Levantado, also known as Bacardí Island, thanks to a 1970 rum commercial that attracted many tourists. Discover lush vegetation, coconut trees, and marine flora and fauna. Relax on one of the best beaches in Samaná, Playa Cayo Levantado. Find different craft shops selling black coral, amber, blue amber, and Larimar, a semi-precious stone from the Dominican Republic.
