Experience one of the world’s top whale-watching destinations in the Caribbean. Every year from January to March, humpback whales migrate to Samaná Bay where you’ll set sail from the port of Samaná in search of these gentle giants.

Highlights ✨

• Admire humpback whales breaching, tail-slapping and playing in the warm waters of Samaná Bay.

• Cruise through clear turquoise waters and take in the stunning scenery of the Samaná Peninsula.

• Enjoy complimentary snacks and drinks on board the comfortable boat.

• Opportunity (in some options) to visit the white-sand shores of Cayo Levantado (Bacardi Island) after the whale-watching.

Full Description

As you glide into Samaná Bay, your guide will share fascinating insights about the humpback whales, their migration, mating behaviours and local marine ecology.
