The province of Samana is a peninsula, with the National Park of Los Haitises, located in the northeast of the Dominican Republic. The capital of the province is Santa Barbara de Samana. In addition, the largest cities on the peninsula are: Las Terrenas, Sanches, Las Galeras and El Limon.

Samana is particularly well known for its lush vegetation and the most beautiful beaches of the Dominican Republic. Among insiders, Samana is considered an insider tip of the world's most beautiful holiday resorts! Samana is the rainiest region in the Dominican Republic. Here there are the most beautiful waterfalls in the country, the most famous being the 170 feet high Salto El Limon Waterfall.

Highlights of the Dominican Republic include the Los Haitises National Park, a tropical rainforest bordering the bay with mangrove swamps and hundreds of limestone islands that stand out like giant mushrooms from the sea and are home to pelicans, parrots and Frigate birds. There are still many caves here, which were formerly inhabited by the indigenous people, the Tainos.

Cruise Ships in Samana

Infos for Cruise Ships:

Tour participants will be picked up and dropped off at Samana Port pier. The duration of the individual excursions is adapted to the laytime of the cruise ship. Everyone gets back to the ship on time! Unfortunately, it is not possible for us to offer these guests an excursion to the island of Cayo Levantado, as this tour can only be offered exclusively by the cruise ships. That's why we drive to the paradisiacal beach of Playa A Nadel or Playa Carenero after a whale watching tour.

The Humpback Whales of Samana

From mid-January to the end of March, more than 1000 formidable humpback whales arrive in Samana Bay.

They are warm flowers and belong as air-breathing mammals to the group of large whales. On average, they reach lengths of 12 to 15 metres and a weight of between 30 and 40 tonnes. Some even grow up to 16 metres long and then reach a weight of up to 65 tonnes. The humpback whales of the Atlantic swim the long way (5000 km) from the cold Arctic waters around Greenland and Iceland here to flirt and provide for offspring.

Samana Bay is almost 70 km long and between 8 and 18 km wide. The water in the sheltered bay is 12 to 20 meters deep and apparently offers the giants the best conditions for mating and rearing their young calves.

About us

My name is Norbert Schmitz and I have known the Dominican Republic for more than 23 years now. I have come to love this country with its joyful people. For 11 years now I have lived on the beautiful Samana Peninsula, which I particularly like for its pious and green nature. A special task of mine is to organize unique excursions away from mass tourism. Our excursions should remain in unforgettable memory with the participants.
