Whale-Watching Tour with Cayo Levantado Beach Break
This remarkable excursion begins when you board your whale-watching boat wherein your guide will brief you on what to expect when you get up close and personal with the whales. Humpbacks have wintered near Samaná for centuries and are depicted in ancient cave drawings. These whales from the North Atlantic migrate south to enjoy the warm waters and to mate. As many as 300 may be present at any time. Get ready to take spectacular photos as you learn about their habits.
Caves and Mangroves Exploration
Depart from the pier aboard a speedboat for a truly unique ecological experience. Los Haitises National Park is a protected virgin forest accessible by water and represents a growing destination for ecotourism. Explore numerous caverns adorned with pictographs and petroglyphs. Circle the small cay known as Bird Island while your expert guide explains the importance of the many migratory and indigenous birds that inhabit the mangroves and island.
