Samana Whale Watching
After meeting your friendly local guide at the pier, make your way to the powerboat, which is waiting approximately 5-8 minutes from the cruise pier on foot.
Setting out into the blue Samana waters, begin your search for magnificent humpback whales. Each winter, the whales journey from the North Atlantic to the Samana Bay to give birth to their calves. From your waterside seat, survey the waters for sights of these gentle giants. Pass by the famous Cayo Levantado island (sometimes called Bacardi Island) and take in the spectacular views of the mountains surrounding Samana Bay. Beer and soda will be available for purchase on the boat (not included). Depending on the whales, your time on the boat may be up to two hours.
Once your journey has come to an end, you will be taken back to the small boat pier where you began. It is a five-minute walk back to the cruise pier via an open-air market.
Please note: Guests prone to motion sickness should take into consideration that you will be on a boat for the majority of the tour. The boat is a motorized catamaran with plastic forward-facing benches and covers over most of the seats. The seating area is not enclosed and most guests will be in direct sun at some point over the course of the boat ride. Total tour time will depend on whale sightings. All times are approximate.
