Description

This experience is a full-day tour that combines wildlife, adventure, and relaxation in one complete journey through the Samaná Peninsula. Instead of focusing on a single activity, travelers explore several of the regions most iconic highlights in one well-organized itinerary.
From January to March, the tour includes the opportunity to observe humpback whales in their natural habitat in Samaná Bay. Outside of whale season, the experience focuses on Samanás scenic landscapes and natural attractions.
The tour also features a horseback ride through tropical trails to the impressive El Limón Waterfall, followed by free time on the white-sand beaches of Cayo Levantado (Bacardi Island). A traditional Dominican lunch, professional guides, and organized transportation ensure a smooth and memorable full-day experience.
This tour is ideal for travelers who want to see more of Samaná in one day while enjoying a balance of nature, adventure, and relaxation.

Exatamente o que procurávamos. O transporte com ar condicionado é um acerto. Pagamos bem menos que outras opções e a experiência foi igualmente boa. Se estiverem em Punta Cana, não percam.

Excelente experiencia de principio a fin. Nos encantó la zona de Samaná. Por el precio que pagamos, la verdad que rinde muchísimo. De lo mejor que contratamos por internet.

Amazing day

Delivered everything it promised and then some. Including air-conditioned transportation takes a worry off your hands. We paid noticeably less than other options and the experience was just as good. Easily one of the best things we did.

Vale a pena

Entrega o que promete. Adoramos a região de Samana. O transporte de barco é um acerto. O guia seguia bastante um roteiro pronto, mas explicava bem. A frequência entre os ônibus poderia ser melhor nas últimas paradas. Recomendo, com as ressalvas que fiz.

Impecável, não tenho nenhuma ressalva. Tinha água gelada esperando no carro, um detalhe pequeno que se nota. Tudo pontual e bem organizado. Nos deixaram em El Limón sem nenhuma volta desnecessária. O único ponto foi a espera no início, saímos uns vinte minutos atrasados. Das melhores coisas que contratamos pela internet.

Would repeat in a heartbeat

We picked it from the photos and it was even better in person. Getting through Cayo Levantado was quick and direct. Not the cheapest, but justified. The whole thing was handled over WhatsApp, very practical. The meeting point was well signed and easy to find. The car was smaller than I expected for that much luggage. If we come back to Buenos Aires, we will do it again.
