Every year between January and March, the Dominican Republic offers a unique event:
Humpback Whale Watching, which can be enjoyed along the coasts surrounding Samaná and Miches.
Departing from your hotels, the journey takes you through the Eastern Plain with lush green landscapes, large pastures, and small villages nestled between mountains and the sea, setting the stage for this unforgettable adventure.
The first stop is the dock at Las Cañitas, where we board the boat that will take us to the Humpback Whale Sanctuary. This sea journey lasts approximately two and a half hours.
Cayo Levantado or Bacardi Island…After whale watching, we head to Cayo Levantado, also known as Bacardi Island, to enjoy a delicious traditional Dominican buffet-style lunch by the sea. After lunch, you’ll have time to take a refreshing swim in the crystal-clear waters and relax on the white sandy beaches, or simply unwind under the shade of coconut trees while sipping a Cuba Libre.
After enjoying your time at Cayo Levantado, we board the boat again to cross the Samaná Bay and return to Las Cañitas dock. From there, the bus will take you back to your hotels in Bávaro and Bayahibe.
