Itinerary
After a brief stop at a designated meeting point to finalize transportation arrangements, you'll travel in a brand-new bus to the quaint village of Las Canitas, situated near Sabana de la Mar. Enjoy the 1.5-hour drive through picturesque Dominican countryside and along the East Coast, while our guide provides intriguing insights into the local lifestyle and traditions.
Then let the adventure begin! It’s time to get on board the boat to ride through the beautiful Samana Bay, home for few months per year of the Humpback Whales. The whale season in the Dominican Republic goes usually from mid January till mid March. If you're lucky to do the tour during this time of the year you'll have also the chance to see the whales in their natural environment! We'll stay on board until crossing the bay and reaching the small town of Samana, called Santa Barbara. The boat ride takes around 1 hour during the year and around 2 hours during the whale season.
we'll board a truck and travel to the stunning El Salto de Limon, renowned as the country's most spectacular waterfall. Our adventure begins at a mountain ranch, where we'll embark on a scenic horseback ride through the tropical forest along the River Arroyo Chico. Immerse yourself in the vibrant natural surroundings as you journey towards the impressive 170-foot Limon Waterfall, nestled deep in the jungle. Once there, cool off with a refreshing dip in the lagoon at the waterfall’s base and capture the perfect family photo against this unforgettable natural wonder.
Hop back into the open-air truck and make your way to the dock for a short boat ride to the stunning Cayo Levantado, famously known as "Bacardi Island." Once there, indulge in a delectable traditional Dominican lunch featuring rice, beans, meat, salad, fresh fruit, and a cup of coffee to top it off. Enjoy unlimited drinks, including rum, soft drinks, and water, at the open bar. While the morning has been all about adventure, the afternoon is your time to unwind. Relax on the pristine white sandy beaches and take a dip in the warm turquoise waters of this idyllic island paradise.

About Punta Cana
Punta Cana, on the Dominican Republic's eastern tip, is a coast of palm-lined white beaches, calm reef-protected water and easygoing island days.
The area stretches along a long sweep of coastline, from Bávaro Beach and Cabeza de Toro to Macao and Uvero Alto, where coconut palms lean over soft white sand. Coral reefs offshore keep the water calm and clear in many spots, ideal for swimming, snorkelling and catamaran outings along the shore.
Top-ranked sights in Punta Cana: Macao Beach (Playa Macao), Bavaro Beach (Playa Bavaro), Coco Bongo Punta Cana.
