Description
Enjoy an unforgettable experience that combines nature, the sea, and Caribbean paradise. This excursion takes you from Punta Cana to Samaná Bay, one of the most impressive settings in the Caribbean, during humpback whale season (January to March).
After pickup at your hotel, you'll travel by bus to the port of Samaná, where you'll board a speedboat or catamaran. Out on the open sea, you'll have the unique opportunity to watch the humpback whales that come to these warm waters to breed and care for their calves. An expert guide will be with you at all times, sharing fascinating information about the behavior of these ocean giants and the conservation efforts that protect them.
After the boat trip, the adventure continues to Cayo Levantado, also known as Bacardi Island. There, you'll enjoy a traditional Dominican buffet lunch and have free time to relax on its white-sand beaches, swim in crystal-clear waters, or simply soak up the tranquility of this tropical paradise.
In the late afternoon, you'll return to the port of Samaná and then to your hotel in Punta Cana, taking home lasting memories of a day when the Caribbean and nature come together in a one-of-a-kind spectacle.
