Whale watching in the Dominican Republic


JANUARY through March, thousands of Humpback Whales migrate from the polar North Atlantic to the northeastern peninsula of the #DominicanRepublic. Visitors to Punta Cana can now see this amazing natural phenomenon with two different #Whale watching #excursion options to choose from.

Samana Bay has long been the home of one of the largest and most important Humpback breeding grounds in the world. Large pods of whales make their way to the warm waters of the Caribbean to compete for mates and birth their calves. With around 300 whales present in the Bay at anytime during these winter months this is what has earned the Samana Bay the classification as one of the top Whale watching destinations in the world.

Due to strict regulations protecting the whales, the only way to get a glimpse of these magnificent creatures is through an authorized whale watching tour.

  • Private Plane Excursion, which in addition to whale watching, includes a bonus visit to the renowned Limon Waterfall. 
  • Whale Watching tours by bus, which travels along the recently constructed Uvero Alto - Miches Highway. 

Both excursions include a visit to the beautiful island of Cayo Levantado.
