Samaná, Dominican Republic
Welcome to Samaná, a natural paradise along the northeastern shore of the Dominican Republic. The peninsula’s rolling mountains and valleys give rise to crystalline rivers that meander through rainforests before spilling out onto stunning white sand beaches that stretch for kilometers along the rocky coastline. Every year, approximately 2,500 humpback whales flock to Samaná Bay to mate, birth, and bask in the tropical splendor, offering visitors a unique opportunity for whale watching excursions.
Beyond the awe-inspiring whale watching experiences, Samaná offers a plethora of ecotourism adventures. From body-boarding and kitesurfing in Las Terrenas to trekking, birding, and caving in Los Haitises National Park, there’s no shortage of outdoor activities to enjoy. Visitors can also embark on canyoning expeditions, horseback rides to El Limón waterfall, or boat trips to pristine white sand beaches nestled at the base of towering cliffs, as well as to the offshore paradise of Cayo Levantado island.
El Catey International Airport (AZS) is closest to the Samaná Peninsula, while cruises dock in Samaná during the winter season. Sailing enthusiasts will find Puerto Bahía Marina, offering full docking facilities and slips for vessels up to 150 feet LOA. Modern highways, including the Santo Domingo-Samaná Highway and the Boulevard Turístico del Atlántico, provide easy access to the peninsula, offering breathtaking coastal views along the way.
