What you can expect

Begin your day with a convenient pickup from your hotel in Samaná, Las Terrenas, or Las Galeras. Board a comfortable double-deck catamaran or speedboat and cruise into the heart of the whale sanctuary, where these 40-ton giants perform breathtaking breaches, tail slaps, and pectoral fin displays just metres from the boat.

Your expert marine guide shares fascinating insights about humpback behaviour, migration patterns, and conservation efforts while you enjoy unobstructed 360-degree views from the upper deck or shaded lower deck. After approximately 2–2.5 hours of whale watching, the boat sets course for the stunning Cayo Levantado, the iconic “Bacardi Island” famous for its postcard-perfect turquoise waters and powdery white sand.

Upon arrival, savour a delicious open-bar beach lunch featuring authentic Dominican specialities — grilled chicken, pork, fresh fish, rice, beans, tropical salads, fresh fruits, and unlimited national drinks (rum, beer, soft drinks, water, coffee). Following the meal, you have roughly 3 hours of pure paradise: swim in crystal-clear waters, sunbathe on loungers under swaying palms, stroll along the shoreline, or simply sip cocktails while the ocean breeze carries the rhythm of merengue from the beach bar.

This complete package includes return hotel transfers from all accommodation in Samaná, Las Terrenas, and Las Galeras, professional bilingual guide, whale-watching boat excursion, beach lunch with open bar, port fees, and all taxes.
