The Samana Peninsula is a paradise for lovers of secluded vacations. A significant part of its territory belongs to several National Parks and is protected by the state. All year round you can see dolphins and manatees near the shores of Samana, and from January to March - humpback whales, which begin their mating season. Samana’s most popular beaches include the entire south coast, as well as Playa Rinson, Playa Moron, and Playa Bonita Beach in the north of the peninsula. For diving and snorkeling, Cayo Levantado is ideal, while water sports such as wakesurfing and wakeboarding are offered at any resort. One of the main attractions of the peninsula (after the whales, of course) is considered the El Limon waterfall 50 meters high. It is located in the jungle, so it is better not to take risks and get the support of a local guide. Also interesting is the Fun Fun Cave, where you can admire underground rivers and numerous stalactites. During the walk, it is possible to meet bats living here - be careful! Fans of extreme entertainment are recommended to visit The Pirate Adventure Park and ride on the “bungee”, stretched at a height of about 120 meters above the ground.
