What You Will Do
It is an amazing sight waiting for you every winter in the Samana Bay, the humpback whales moving from the their arctic home to the warm waters of the protective bay of Samana to give birth and mate. The show is impressive, when the 40-ton males jump up the water and fall down a few meters ahead.

Bucket List Experience
2022-02-28
The whale watching experience was unbelievable. We were able to get several sightings of the humpback whales. In addition the excursion includes lunch on Bacardi Island and a some time to relax, soak up the scenery, swim at the beach on the Island. Since we were staying in the Bayahibe/Dominicus/La Romana area the trip to/from Samana can be exhausting and you must plan for a 12+ hour day.
Good but needs a slight improvement.

Overall a great experience and even managed to see a family of humpback whales. Just one downside which was that because it was so busy it became a bit manic trying to find the guide for the return to the boat at Bacardi Island. He was waiting on the boat but we didn't know which boat was ours so couldn't see him. He needs to collect people together at a meeting point on the Island.
find a tour with less people

When whale watching the boats go in front of each other and don't allow the other boats to see, the first 3 boats that get there are the ones that have the priority to watch the whales. Would not recommend this tour. Try to find another tour that has less people and try to stay in Samana to be the first ones out.
the guides were fine, they drove us and brought us back.
