NOTE: The Samana Whales tour takes place only during the period of the From about mid-January to about mid-March!
Once a year Dominican Republic accepts special guests - some of the largest mammals in the world, long-finned whales. Their alternative name is humbugs, from English "humpback whale". Giants several meters long live their daily lives in cool waters of the north, feeding krill and small schooling fish. However, when the time comes their mating, like to move in warmer climes. 🙂 It will probably not surprise you that they are particularly fond of just Dominican Republic, especially Gulf of Samana In the northeast of the island. Here From about mid-January to about mid-March we have an official "whale-watching season." In practice, this means that Several hundred humpback whales enter the bay, To "get acquainted." compete, and females inseminated here a year earlier give birth 2-ton toddlers 🙂 . It is extraordinary show, which annually attracts a lot of spectators!
We put into practice Almost the same program as Samana - Haitises, only instead of a cruise on the Haitises National Park, we will set off to meet long-finned whales. The chance of meeting them is about 95%, Which in practice means that they are not encountered only in exceptional situations. Cruise on the Gulf of Samana in order to observe whales last About 1.5-2 hours. Given the low level of service in the Samana area, this season we chose one of the of the best companies organizing cruises. This involves price increase, but also better quality :).
Other highlights include beachcombing and lunch on the fabulous Bacardi Island and a walk through a tropical forest to Los Cocos Waterfall.Â
Enjoy a unique whale watching experience in this very charming part of the island!
