Have you ever seen a 17-meter whale up close? We're talking about actual life, not videos!

Humpback whales are stunning and wonderful. Mature specimens can grow to a length of 17 meters; their fins, which are approximately a third of that size and used as a rudder, for hunting, and even to control body temperature, are less than that.

The Humpback Whale, or Megaptera novaeangliae, migrates in vast numbers from Canadian waters to those of the Dominican Republic every year between mid-January and mid-March.

While permitting access in Samaná Bay, the Ministry of the Environment has designated some sections as marine protected zones.

We travel in small boats in quest of these amazing creatures because their majestic movements let us approach them. Mothers are frequently spotted with their children or adult companions.

An outstanding experience is the whale excursion.

Santa Barbara de Samana

We begin our trip with the collection of our bus at your hotel then we will change on board an all-terrain truck to go to the Samana dock. As soon as you reach the Samana Peninsula your adventure will really begin. During the excursion, the means of transport will change and you will travel aboard a truck to the mountains to visit a typical Dominican Ranch. Enjoy a tasty Caribbean lunch at our exclusive restaurant in the city of Samana, while enjoying the panoramic view of the bay and its emblematic Napoleon Bridge. A tour of the city of Santa Barbara de Samaná will be offered before or after lunch. Get on board our boats in the direction of Cayo Levantado Island.

Really good, but long day. Collected from our hotel and took us by coach to the catamaran. Breakfast then a catamaran over to Samana. Horse back to the El Limon waterfall. The volunteers were very good but do expect a tip. They suggested $40-$50 each, but we gave what we could. Truck to the lunch restaurant, didnt know what we were eating but it was very tasty. Back on the catamaran to Bacardi Island. Very beautiful beach. Would recommend having the photographer, he was $70 but sent us over 50 pictures.

I agree with the other reviews the breakfast was just a slice of cheese on bread, not good. The buffet lunch was good. The steps at Limon ranch were very slippery. I wouldn’t go down them again, not for the elderly. The people escorting you on the horse ride and down the trail kind of harassed you for tip money, but they definitely deserved it The music on the boat ride was way to loud! Wear old shoes you will get them dirty and muddy.

This tour offers a lot of activity packed into one day. We saw whales which is why we booked this tour. Some of the other reviewers complained about the breakfast sandwich. So what. This isn't a food tour. The Dominican lunch was delicious in case you were wondering. The tour guide we had favored Spanish when he spoke and gave very little direction in English which is why I only gave it four stars. Better communication to English speakers would have made us less concerned about what to do and when. We had to ask a lot of questions. We were staying in Punta Cana which is about 2 hours from the boat dock. If you are staying in the same location, be prepared to not return until about 9pm. All in all, it was a worthwhile trip.

It’s a long day but worth it to see the whales and ride a donkey. Pack snacks, the food is ok. 1.5 hour bus ride, breakfast was bread and fruit, then 30 min boat ride to island beach, 1 hour at beach, 5 min boat ride to Samana, lunch, 45 min bus ride to horse/donkey to ride 15 min to waterfall. Then horse, bus, boat, bus back.
Recommend this!

We were a little skeptical after reading other reviews, but this tour checked all the boxes. We were picked up on time from our hotel, we did have to meet the rest of the tour group on the side of the road due to another pickup but we never felt unsafe. The 2 hour drive to the boat was beautiful and really gave a glimpse into life outside of the resorts. Breakfast was indeed and ham and cheese sandwich with fruit but it was the right amount of food for being early. The tour guides were friendly and helpful, and the whales showed up and showed off! Lunch was a unique experience with a view of the bay and was good local cuisine. After lunch, we boarded open air safari trucks and it took about 40 mins to get to the horses, again getting a glimpse of local life. The horses were skinny but didn’t appear unhealthy. Local volunteers are the guides for this walk to the waterfall so be prepared to tip them, as they are not employed by the tour itself. Our guides were very friendly and made sure we were comfortable and having fun. The stairs…. Yes there are quite a few of them (280) but worth the view. They were wet and if you aren’t careful, I can see how it could be sketchy but I never felt unstable and my knees aren’t great! Just be smart and take your time if that’s a concern. The waterfall was beautiful and lots of picture ops along the way. Would recommend to anyone who enjoys getting off resort and experiencing a fun day.
Long day. Full of activity.

We took this trip during January (to be able to see the whales). To begin we were picked up about 40 minutes late on a van and taken to a gas station to meet other the other travelers on a larger bus. We drove for about an hour and half to get to breakfast (a ham sandwich and a slice of fruit) before walking over to the boats. The boat was completely packed and we sat at the back. As it began to rain, we got soaked from being at the back of the boat and not under any top. Some People began to get sea sick. We did see 3 whales! Then went to Bacardi Island, which is beautiful. You get a free drink. There are some market people hassling you as you walk in/out. Then back on the boat to get lunch. Cafeterias/buffet style, outdoors with flies everywhere and bathroom is horrendous. But you are in the Dominican. You then take the open air truck to the horses. You go through some areas and see how people live. They quickly get you on a horse. Each horse has a guide. The horse stops and you have about 200 uneven steps to get to the waterfall. Down not so bad, but back up… whew:) it really was beautiful. The horse takes you back to the open air truck, then you follow the trip back …to the boat, to the bus and then the van. It’s a long day. Left at 7am and returned at 9:30 pm. Not much food was given but we took some snacks. Definitely recommend taking snacks. It was a great experience! And would recommend doing it.
