Itinerary

Embark on a once-in-a-lifetime adventure in the Dominican Republic, where you’ll witness the breathtaking spectacle of humpback whales in the warm waters of Samaná Bay . Spend about 2.5 hours aboard a comfortable boat at the Whale Sanctuary, watching these majestic creatures as they breach, slap their tails, and nurture their calves in their natural habitat. After this unforgettable wildlife experience, the journey continues to Cayo Levantado (Bacardí Island), a tropical paradise with white sandy beaches and turquoise waters. Enjoy a delicious Dominican-style buffet lunch and relax on the beach for about 1.5 hours. From there, your adventure branches into two possible itineraries, and you can choose the option that best matches your perfect day in Samaná: Option 1 – El Limón Waterfall or Option 2 – Playa Rincón. Whichever option you choose, this excursion combines the thrill of whale watching with the beauty and culture of Samaná, offering a full day of discovery and unforgettable memories.
