Overview

Boasting an exotic island and a national park, this is no ordinary whale watching tour. Your Dominican adventure kicks off in Samana Bay, famed for its humpback whales. Observe – with luck – these graceful creatures at play before docking at Bacardi Island for a creole lunch followed by downtime on the beach. Rounding off the day is a tour of La Farola.
