Highlights

One of the questions we're asked most often is: what is the must-do experience during a trip to the Dominican Republic? Our answer is always the same: when will you have the opportunity to see humpback whales again? If you're planning to visit the Dominican Republic between January 15 and April 15, we invite you to witness these incredible mammals during their annual migration to Samaná Bay, on the island's north coast. During this excursion, you'll discover why these majestic animals, which can weigh more than twenty times the weight of a car, migrate to Samaná Bay every year. To provide a more personal and enjoyable experience, this tour is operated in small groups with an English-speaking guide.

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.
