Why Choose the Samana Tour?
This full-day tour offers a unique blend of activities that allow you to explore the Samana Peninsula, a lush region known for its unspoiled beaches, dense forests, and towering mountains. Samana by Bus gives you an adventure-packed day, including:
- Safari Truck Exploration
- Horseback Riding to the Limon Waterfall
- Catamaran Adventure with Island Time
Oh, and yes, you’ll also visit a secluded mountain waterfall! Sounds impossible to do in one day? It’s not—let us take you through this incredible journey.
The Journey Begins
Your adventure starts with a scenic bus ride that winds through the Oriental Mountain Range, heading towards the fishing village of Miches. From there, you’ll hop onto a catamaran and cruise across the Samana Bay to the stunning Samana Peninsula.
- Safari Truck Ride: After docking in Samana, board our open-air safari truck and venture into the lush, mountainous countryside. Here, you’ll stop at a typical Dominican ranch to taste the local produce—everything from fresh coconut, cocoa, and coffee to exotic fruits like mango, papaya, and pineapple. You’ll even get to try mamajuana, a traditional Dominican drink with a reputation as a natural aphrodisiac!
- Horseback Riding to Limon Waterfall: Next, saddle up for a 30-minute ride through the tropical forest. The trail leads you alongside the Limon River, culminating at the awe-inspiring Limon Waterfall, where water plunges 170 feet into a crystal-clear lagoon. Don’t miss the chance to cool off in the refreshing mountain waters—how often can you say you swam beneath a waterfall in the Caribbean?
- Authentic Dominican Lunch: After your waterfall adventure, you’ll head back to the ranch for a delicious Dominican lunch. Enjoy a traditional spread of fish, chicken, rice, beans, fresh fruit, and more in a beautiful, rustic Caribbean setting. Trust us, this is better than any hotel buffet!
Catamaran and Island Time
After lunch, it’s time to sail again! Board our spacious catamaran and head to the world-famous Cayo Levantado, a tiny paradise encircled by white sandy beaches and turquoise waters. Relax on this dreamy island, enjoy a refreshing swim, and be sure to try a Pina Colada served inside a fresh pineapple—it’s the ultimate tropical treat!
