? Full Description
Your day begins with comfortable, air-conditioned transportation from your hotel in the Punta Cana/Bávaro area. After a drive to the port (often Las Cañitas), you will board a boat or luxury catamaran to cross the beautiful Samaná Bay. Upon reaching the peninsula, you'll transfer to a safari-style truck for a brief, scenic drive through the local town and countryside, giving you a taste of Dominican life. The main adventure starts at a typical ranch, where you are paired with a horse (or can choose to hike) for the 30-40 minute journey through rich tropical forest and agricultural paths to El Limón Waterfall. After reaching the cascade, you’ll have time to swim and capture photos of this incredible natural monument. After the horseback ride back, a delicious traditional Dominican buffet lunch will be served. The final stop is the pristine Cayo Levantado (Bacardi Island), offering approximately 90 minutes of free time to relax on the beach, swim, or simply enjoy a coconut drink before taking the boat and bus transfers back to Punta Cana.
