Short Description

“Join us for an unforgettable whale-watching experience in the beautiful Samaná Bay. See majestic humpback whales during their mating season, cruise turquoise waters, and enjoy the Caribbean scenery on this excursion in Samaná, Dominican Republic.”

Description

Overview ?
Experience one of the world’s top whale-watching destinations in the Caribbean. Every year from January to March, humpback whales migrate to Samaná Bay where you’ll set sail from the port of Samaná in search of these gentle giants.

Highlights

  • Admire humpback whales breaching, tail-slapping and playing in the warm waters of Samaná Bay.

  • Cruise through clear turquoise waters and take in the stunning scenery of the Samaná Peninsula.

  • Enjoy complimentary snacks and drinks on board the comfortable boat.

  • Opportunity (in some options) to visit the white-sand shores of Cayo Levantado (Bacardi Island) after the whale-watching.

Full Description
Set off in the morning from the port in Samaná and board a secure boat with a specialist guide. As you glide into Samaná Bay, your guide will share fascinating insights about the humpback whales, their migration, mating behaviours and local marine ecology. You’ll scan the horizon for whale spouts and watch in awe as these magnificent creatures surface. After the whale‐watching experience, depending on your package, you may continue on to Cayo Levantado for free time on beach or additional scenic cruising. At the end of your tour, return refreshed and full of memories.
