📝 Full Description Your adventure begins with a comfortable ride from your Punta Cana hotel toward the bay of Miches, where you’ll board a boat to cross into Samaná. The first part of our journey takes us into the heart of the whale sanctuary. Watching these 30-ton giants breach and play in the warm Caribbean waters is a life-changing experience.

Once back on land, we head into the mountains for a horseback riding adventure through the lush jungle. Your destination is Salto El Limón, a breathtaking waterfall hidden deep in the forest. After a refreshing swim in the natural pool, we head to the coast for a boat ride to Cayo Levantado (Bacardi Island).
