We'll convene at El Valle de Samana Beach or the Santorino Restaurant at the arranged time. Once the group is gathered, we will board a speedboat to explore some of the most stunning landscapes in this northern region of the island.

Our first destination is Ermitaño Beach, which features an almost inaccessible cove surrounded by dense jungle. The area is rich in wildlife, including iguanas, white-necked crows, and the palmchat.

Next, we will proceed to Onda Beach, nestled within a small bay adorned with coconut palm trees and shimmering turquoise waters. This picturesque spot offers an inviting swim where you might encounter a stunning variety of marine life.

At midday, you'll savor a delicious local lunch featuring fish, chicken, potatoes, fried plantains, coconut water, and mineral water.

We'll conclude our adventure by returning to our starting point in El Valle or Samaná after a delightful 4.5-5 hours.

Excursion from Las Terrenas (7 Hours)

For this itinerary, we will gather at Las Ballenas Beach in Las Terrenas at the scheduled time. From there, we will embark on a speedboat to uncover the most beautiful areas of the northern coast.

Our journey begins with Astillero Beach, known for its golden sands and calm waters, perfect for a refreshing swim to start the day. Following this, we will head to Morón Beach, an off-the-beaten-path sandbank with an almost untouched setting, ideal for capturing beautiful photographs and exploration.

Next, we'll make our way to Onda Beach, where the breathtaking scenery invites you to dive into the crystal-clear Caribbean waters. Our final stop will be Ermitaño Beach, an exquisite hidden treasure with transparent waters. Here, you'll have the chance to explore the nearby reefs. Plus, a delightful barbecue lunch awaits you, featuring fresh local ingredients. What more could you wish for?

After a fulfilling day of exploration, we'll board our boat for the return to the original departure point after a memorable 7 hours.
