Full description
Samaná is a peninsula located on the northeast coast of the Dominican Republic. Full of incredible landscapes and pure nature, it is a member of the World's Most Beautiful Bays Club of UNESCO as well as having been classified as a World Eco-Tourism Paradise. Each year between the months of February and March over 3,500 humpback whales mate in the warm coastal waters just off of the coast of the peninsula. Your tour begins with a boat trip from Miches to the Bay of Samaná, accompanied by a beautiful view. After arriving to your location, you will embark on a horseback trek to the majestic 50-meter high Lemon waterfall, which contains a beautiful natural pool below and is surrounded by lush tropical forest. Following your waterfall tour, you will head on a city tour atop a safari truck through the city of Samaná. Discovered by the navigator Christopher Columbus in 1493, this was the point in which the first hostile meeting between Europeans and natives occurred. Following your city tour, you will sit down for a Dominican buffet lunch in a field restaurant, where you can indulge in a tasting of tropical fruits harvested in the area. After lunch, you will be taken in the safari truck back to the dock, after which you will head to Cayo Levantado or "Bacardi Island". After arriving at this 1-kilometer long island, you can enjoy some refreshing free time on its beautiful beaches complete with clear turquoise water. After this free time, you will be ferried back to the mainland before being dropped off back at your accommodation.

The trip itself was amazing. The only thing that put me off was the ride to the boat. It's a good 2 hour ride from the resort in Punta Cana to the boat in Samana Bay. Other than that it was truly an awesome day trip. You will be very tired by the time you arrive back to your resort.

Très bonne journée ! On découvre la Cascade El Limon après une balade à cheval dans la jungle accompagné d'un guide par cheval (payé au pourboire). Possibilité de s'y baigner un peu. Puis direction l'île Bacardi où on peut se baigner également. Attention toutefois, cette excursion est assez longue (départ 6h45 et retour à l'hôtel vers 21h pour notre part).

Nous avons pris un minibus jusqu’au port de Miches, puis un bateau jusqu’à l’île Bacardi (boissons dans le bateau) où nous avons eu 1h de temps libre (rien n’est inclus sur l’île donc prenez les bouteilles d’eau offertes dans le bateau). Puis nous avons repris le bateau direction Samana puis un bus safari jusqu’au Ranch où nous avons déjeuné (c’était très bon et propre). Nous avons ensuite fait la balade à cheval jusqu’à la cascade (chaque cheval est tiré par un local qui n’est payé qu’au pourboire) après la balade il faut marcher 5/10 min jusqu’à la cascade et la route est difficile (escaliers glissants, boue…). Puis on a un temps libre à la cascade magnifique (ne tardez pas trop car après il faut remonter tous les escaliers puis reprendre les chevaux pour le retour. Ensuite petite pause et on reprends le chemin inverse : camion safari / bateau / minibus jusqu’à l’hôtel. Excellente journée permet de voir une région différente mais épuisante (de 6h à 21h) ne convient pas à tous !
