About this activity
Prepare to enjoy a unique experience in life on this day trip from Punta Cana. You will be greeted by the majestic presence of humpback whales in the open waters of Samaná Bay.

The Dominican Republic has one of the largest and best humpback whale breeding sanctuaries in the world. Each year, more than 4000 humpback whales visit the Bay of Samaná for breeding purposes. Your expert host and tour guide, who speaks English, will tell you all about the habits of these magnificent creatures. The wonderful thing about humpback whales is that they perform many activities right on the surface of the water, more than any other species of whale. It is incredibly common to see whales use their fins up to 3600 kg (8000 pounds) by clapping their pectoral fins and their tail. You will also have an excellent opportunity to see the whales come to the surface, Each year, thousands of humpback whales begin their migration from the cold waters of the North Atlantic to the warm waters of the Caribbean. More than 1,500 of these whales visit the Bay of Samaná that hosts 300 humpback whales at any time during the whale season (from January 20 to March 20). The World Wildlife Fund considers Samaná Bay one of the best places in the world for whale watching.

Then visit the island of Cayo Levantado, where you can enjoy a delicious buffet lunch and a panoramic view of the Bay of Samaná. Enjoy the white sand beaches and the warm turquoise waters in this unique and relaxing experience.
