Samaná Day Trip By Bus

Instead of boarding a plane to Samana, you will take our bus approximately 2 hours to the small town of Sabana de la Mar, where you then climb aboard a boat to take you the rest of the way to Samana about 1.5 hours. Once we arrive, we'll make our way to the entrance of the most magnificent waterfall in the country, El Salto de Limon. But first, we'll make a quick stop at a traditional dominican household where you'll have the opportunity to learn a bit about local products and sample some for yourself including coffee, cocoa, natural fruit and the infamous Mamajuana. 

From here we'll continue by horse approximately 30 minutes through a notoriously muddy path to the steep staircase that brings you to the base of the waterfall. Don't worry, everyone has their own personal guide to lead the way and these horses know the trail like the back of their hoof. Now feast your eyes upon this spectacular sight. Nestled in the depths of Samana's tropical forests, the cascade crashes from 170 feet above into a green lagoon below. Take advantage and cool off in Limon's refreshing mountain waters! 

After we make our way back to the beginning of the trail, we'll climb into our open air truck and head down to the dock to take a short trip to Cayo Levantado, also known as Bacardi Island. First we'll fill our bellies with a delicious traditional Dominican lunch complete with rice, beans, meat, salad and fresh fruit, all enjoyed while relaxing under a palm tree and enjoying the tropical breeze. After lunch you'll have time to relax on the beach and try a fresh, mouth watering piña colada made with real pineapple!

From here we start to make our way back to Punta Cana, where you'll have plenty of time to revel in this wonderful experience, appreciating part of what makes the Dominican Republic so special.
