Whale watching Samana from Punta Cana by air!

“I was particularly impressed initially by the professional service provided when booking the trip from the UK a couple of months prior to our trip to DR. I Had to change the date of the trip prior to departure and communication and Accomodation of my request were all handled smoothly. The trip did have to be postponed for a day when we were in DR due to one of the aircraft being out of service, but it was communicated prior to our trip day and all of the rearrangements were set up for the following day. Pick up transport to the airfield was on time, the process through the airport terminal to the aircraft at departure and landing at Samana were extremely well organised, as was the return trip after the excursion. The day in Samana started with a trip to a "Ranch" where we were kitted out with Gum boots, helmets and horses. (Take a pair of socks to wear otherwise boots might not come off at the end). The purpose was to ride up to see the spectacular Cascada El Limon waterfall. the itinary indicated it was a 25 minute walk. I would suggest that was a conservative estimate as it was a fairly strenuous ride for those out of practice and at the end there was a very steep decent on foot down some steps to the falls. I overheard someone say 234 steps down and of course the same up again. The falls were stunning, it was a strenuous morning, I thoroughly enjoyed it, I would do it again. The horses had individual handlers who accompanied you and would let you handle the horses to your own skill level. To the extent where when the track allowed me to canter, I could and the handler happily sprinted behind the horse. These guys were great at assessing how much assistance individuals required and were extremely helpful and hard working. The brochure does suggest tipping them, however not suggesting an amount. Reality is US$20-25 so budget for it on the trip. They're well worth it. On return to the ranch we had lunch. Which was excellent. The afternoon was the main event which was the boat out to see whales in the bay. Once we were out in the bay we spent about an hour sighting and watching for whales to make appearances. We were blessed with seeing 4 separate pairs of mother and child. I did start to take photographs but soon stopped to just watch, admire and be amazed at the grace of these awesome animals. The wonder and emotion felt when watching these massive Humpback Whales at fairly close quarters is something that everyone should experience given the opportunity. The finale of the day was an hour or so sunbathing and swimming off the beach of the island Cayo .Leventado. Then the truck trip back to the airport and flight back to Punta Cana and transfer to hotel. Overall it was a long but extremely rewarding trip which I would recommend to all visitors to Punta Cana during the Whale season up in Samana. The guide who was a local to Samana was wonderful. He radiated a passion and pride in his Samana Region, was extremely friendly, knowledgeable, and professional, and coped with a mixed language group speaking fluently in Spanish, English and French.”

Big Whales and Tails!

“The day we went whale watching was amazing. There were lots of whales and my kids were in awe the whole day. The boat was clean and the crew was helpful to point out different fun facts on the whales and other marine life. I would highly recommend for families looking for adventure.”

Humpback Whale Whatching!

“Very good experience. I went in January and was told the whales are more plentiful in February. But all in all very good, we did see some whales, the boat was lower down to the water which made it better. The trip to the falls first was very nice by horseback and the lunch was delicious. Plane rides were smooth. But it is the people of the Dominican Republic though that make everything so pleasant. They are so friendly and genuinely seem to care about your having a great time.”
