What you can expect

You will first take a bus heading to one side of the peninsula of Samaná then a specially prepared boat will cruise you around to observe these magnificent cetaceans. Get ready for a once-in-a-lifetime experience! You will travel from Punta Cana to Samaná, a place for some of the best whale watching because the Dominican Republic has one of the largest and best Humpback whale breeding sanctuaries in the world. Every year, over 4,000 Humpback whales visit the Bay of Samaná with the purpose of breeding. Spanning more than 4,000 miles (8,000 km) of open ocean, they find their way every year to the same polar waters to feed, and the same subtropical waters to breed which provides a great whale watching opportunity.

You will be greeted by the majestic presence of the Humpback Whales in the open waters of Samaná Bay. Your English speaking host and tour guide with an encyclopedic knowledge of the whales, will inform you of all of their habits. Remember to bring your camera-you could have unedited whale watching photo opportunities!

After the whale watching you will head to Cayo Levantado Island, where you will be delighted by a memorable lunch with panoramic views of the Bay of Samaná. Prepare yourself to experience the white sandy beaches and the warm turquoise water of this unique and relaxing place. There, you can simply relax and enjoy a good cocktail on the beach of this lost paradise.

This is without a doubt an amazing whale watching tour in the Dominican Republic!
