Private Whale-Watching Tour
Description
On this private whale-watching tour, you'll get the chance to see the whales of Samana. You'll be accompanied by an exclusive guide just for you and your group.
Private Whale-Watching Tour
At the established time, we'll pick you up at the meeting point of your choice and head over to the port of Samana, located on the wild Atlantic coast of the Dominican Republic.
Once at the dock, we'll embark on a catamaran ride through the bay of Samana. During the trip, we'll try to spot the humpback whales that inhabit these waters. This is a particularly favorable area for whales since, between January and March, up to 3,000 at a time gather here.
Finally, after three hours of sailing, we will return to the port of Samaná, from where we will take you back to your hotel.
Pickup Points
When you make your reservation, you can choose which of the following places you prefer to start the tour at:
- From the Samana pier

- From your hotel in Sabana de la Mar

Whale Watching
The coast of Samana is one of the best places in the Dominican Republic to see whales, dolphins, and other cetaceans. However, animals are unpredictable. The sighting of a greater or lesser number of these animals will depend on various factors such as the weather at the time or the reproduction and breeding seasons of the different species.
Why Book a Private Tour?
By booking a private tour, you'll have a much more personalized experience since you'll have a guide exclusively for you and your group.
