Description

Your journey begins with a convenient hotel pick-up in Punta Cana, followed by a scenic drive along the northeastern coast of the Dominican Republic. Enjoy the passing landscapes before arriving at a charming fishing village, where you’ll board a comfortable vessel bound for the famous Samana Bay. Sit back, relax, and sip refreshing drinks as you cruise across turquoise waters toward the stunning Cayo Levantado.

Accompanied by expert bilingual guides, you’ll learn about the region’s rich biodiversity while making your way to the humpback whale sanctuary. Each winter, these magnificent creatures migrate from the Arctic to the warm Caribbean to mate and give birth in this protected haven. With luck, you’ll witness unforgettable sights — whales breaching gracefully, spraying water from their blowholes, singing hauntingly beautiful songs, or gliding peacefully through the bay. This once-in-a-lifetime encounter will leave you in awe of nature’s grandeur.
