Yes it’s all true. This tour is simply a lifetime experience! Samana is possibly the most beautiful place in the Dominican Republic.
After an early pick up from your hotel in Punta Cana (from 6:00 till 7:30 am depending on the hotel) and a convenient stop in a meeting point to organize the transportation, we’ll move on a brand-new bus to the small village of Las Canitas, close to Sabana de la Mar. The ride takes around 1.5 hours and on the way you’ll have the chance the enjoy great views of the Dominican countryside and the East Coast while the guide will give information about the life and local customs of the Dominicans.
After reaching Las Canitas, you will be welcomed by the local people and you will have the time to rest after the bus ride, go to the toilet and relax.
Let’s the adventure begin! I’s time to get on board our motorboat to ride through the beautiful Samana Bay, home few months per year of the Humpback Whale season. During the season we stay in the Bay around 45 minutes to catch the whales, till reaching the small town of Samana, called Santa Barbara.
From the dock we’ll get on a truck and we’ll make our way to the most magnificent waterfall in the country, El Salto de Limon (Limon Waterfall)! We’ll reach a ranch located in the mountain and be taken into the tropical forest, for a short horseback riding tour along the River Arroyo Chico. The dense vegetation will captivate your senses and leave you with a real taste of adventure. Ultimately, the trail leads to the picturesque Limon Waterfall: an impressive 170 foot drop of fresh water, right in the middle of the jungle. Splash yourself in the refreshing waters of the lagoons at the base of the waterfall. And don’t forget to take the perfect picture of your family and yourself in this memorable place!
While the morning has been dedicated to the adventure, the afternoon will be focused in relaxing. We’ll climb again into our open air truck and head down to the dock to take a short boat trip to the gorgeous Cayo Levantado, also known as “Bacardi Island”. You will be impressed by the beautiful landscapes of the peninsula. Once on the island, prepare to experience the white sandy beaches and the warm turquoise water of this unique and relaxing place.
After around 1.5 hours spent at the island, we'll go back to Las Canitas, where we will take the bus to Punta Cana.
