Whale Watching

Every year between January and March, thousands of humpback whales migrate to Samaná Bay to breed and give birth, making it one of the top whale watching destinations in the world. Tours run by boat into the bay with a marine-certified guide.

This tour runs for solo travelers and groups alike, so it's easy to book whether it's just you or a full party. Pricing depends on your group size and route, so we quote it directly — message us on WhatsApp for a price.
