One of the questions we're asked most often is: what is the must-do experience during a trip to the Dominican Republic?
Our answer is always the same: when will you have the opportunity to see humpback whales again?
If you're planning to visit the Dominican Republic between January 15 and April 15, we invite you to witness these incredible mammals during their annual migration to Samaná Bay, on the island's north coast.
During this excursion, you'll discover why these majestic animals, which can weigh more than twenty times the weight of a car, migrate to Samaná Bay every year.
To provide a more personal and enjoyable experience, this tour is operated in small groups with an English-speaking guide.
