01 Los Haitises


The national park in the bay of Samana

The starting and ending point of all excursions is Santa Barbara de Samana, Dominican Republic.
But we can also pick you up in Las Galeras, El Portillo and Las Terrenas!

The national park "Los Haitises" in the southwest of the bay of Samana includes the mangrove swamps, the dense tropical jungle forest and dozens of caves, some with rock engravings and sculptures of the indigenous people (Tainos). All kinds of animals are at home here.

The excursion begins with a 45-minute boat ride from Samana. We visit 2-3 caves and drive through the rugged rocky landscape where many bird species have their breeding places. Afterwards we drive with our boat through the mangroves into the interior of the nature park. We leave the boat at a small mooring and go to our next destination "Cano Hondo" (on foot or by moped approx. 10-15 min).

The complex is freely accessible and has 14 small, bricked natural swimming pools, which invite you to take a bath. The ideal place for nature lovers who like to relax. In the restaurant of the complex there is the possibility to have lunch in a nice atmosphere with a great view (not included in the excursion price).

On request we will make our way back to the jetty, where our captain will be waiting for you by boat. This is a unique nature experience, which you can almost only book with us.
