What to expect
After an early pick-up from your hotel in Punta Cana 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. After reaching Las Canitas, let the adventure begin! It's time to get on board our boat to ride through the beautiful Samana Bay, home of the Humpback Whales. The boat will reach the "Sanctuary" in the middle of the bay and for around 45 minutes you´ll have the chance to observe humpback whales in their natural environment. Make sure you have your phone ready to take many pictures! At this time of the day, you'll probably start getting hungry. Don't worry! It's already lunchtime! We'll fill our bellies with a delicious traditional Dominican lunch. Drinks are included too! Open bar with rum, soft drinks and water. While the morning has been dedicated to the adventure, the afternoon will be focused on relaxing at the gorgeous island of Cayo Levantado, also known as Bacardi Island. After around 1.5 hours spent at the island, from here we'll start to make our way back to Punta Cana, where you'll have plenty of time to recall this wonderful experience.
Playa Cayo Levantado, a stunning beach in the Samana province of the Dominican Republic, invites tourists to experience its pristine sands, turquoise waters, and breathtaking natural beauty. This idyllic paradise is perfect for relaxation, swimming, and soaking in the sun, making it a must-visit destination for travelers seeking an unforgettable beach getaway.
