More about this experience

This whale-watching excursion from Miches takes you off the coast of the Dominican Republic to observe humpback whales in the wild, making it a fantastic choice for nature lovers and stops at Cayo Levantado (Bacardi Island).

What you’ll do

  1. Information

    This whale-watching excursion takes you off the coast of the Dominican Republic to observe humpback whales in the wild, making it a fantastic choice for nature lovers and first-time tourists. You'll sail around Samana Bay continuously looking for whales mating and breeding their calves, getting as close as possible without disturbing them. Lunch is included in your tour, as well as hotel pickup and drop-off in Miches.

    The Bay of Samaná attracts humpback whales on a regular basis. From mid-January to mid-April each year, these massive mammals leave the arctic to mate and give birth in a protected cove off the Dominican Republic's east coast.

    Combine two of the Dominican Republic's top attractions—migrating humpback whales and the idyllic Cayo Levantado (also known as Bacardi Island) on a single tour. Take a boat cruise through the Samana Bay to see the whales jumping and slapping their fins, then retire to Cayo Levantado for a buffet lunch and open bar.

  2. Pickup at your resort

    Begin your day with comfortable round-trip transportation from your Miches resort or nearby pickup point.

  3. Scenic transfer to Samaná Bay

    Enjoy a relaxing ride through the Dominican countryside on your way to the Samaná Peninsula, one of the island’s most beautiful natural regions.

  4. Whale-watching experience

    Board a boat and sail into the protected waters of Samaná Bay to witness majestic humpback whales as they leap, splash, and care for their calves in their natural habitat. Your expert guide will share fascinating insights about these incredible creatures and their migration patterns.

  5. Cayo Levantado (Bacardi Island)

    After your whale-watching adventure, unwind on the stunning white sands of Cayo Levantado. Enjoy a delicious Dominican buffet lunch and take some time to swim, relax, or explore the island.
