The Samaná Peninsula is not without reason considered one of the most beautiful places on Earth. Its lush tropical vegetation, stunning beaches, and highland terrain enchant many tourists. Samaná Bay, through which we will sail, is famous for the majestic humpback whales that come there to mate every year from January to March. The El Limón waterfall, which we reach by horseback, following the trail along the river through the tropical forest and the island of Cayó Levantado, commonly known as Bacardí Island, offers an incredible panoramic view of the entire peninsula.
