Excursion Details
The diversity of this park is famous. During our excursions we visit caves where the Tainos, the pre-Columbian residents of Hispaniola, lived. We show you real examples of their mystical pictographic cave drawings.
The park’s mangrove forests and the small limestone islands are home to 78 species of birds.
From January to March the area presents an additional highlight. Hundreds of humpback whales migrate to the bay of Samaná where they perform their mating rituals.
A nature integrated eco-guesthouse or a night in a tent will round out a perfect day in paradise.
The lagoon is part of a scientific reserve. On a day trip you will visit in the morning the mangrove forests of the lagoon by sea kayak. There is plenty of time to observe all kinds of Caribbean birds.
Lunch is prepared for us at Playa Limón, one of the prettiest beaches in the country.
Horseback riding or a walk along the lonely beach completes the program in the afternoon. The beach offers a fantastic opportunity to observe dolphins, sea turtles and an occasional manatee.
Only an hour car ride from Bávaro/Punta Cana, this national park contains the main attraction of the eastern part of the country: Isla Saona - where the tourist encounters a unique Caribbean experience and great opportunities for snorkeling and diving.
But the park has much more to see. Back on the mainland the Yuma River, with its small canyon and the seabird colonies, is a perfect alternative.
A visit to the Taino Cave ”Berna”, with pictographs from the ancient culture, takes the visitor back to a forgotten era.
The combination of the kayak trip on the Chavón River with its spectacular canyon and a visit to the 16h century style village of “Altos de Chavón” give you both nature and culture.
Waterfalls, white water rafting, climbing, and horseback riding - this national park has it all.
Because of its distant location a minimum stay of three days is recommended.
Saltwater crocodiles, iguanas, flamingos and a phenomenal landscape. The largest lake in the Dominican Republic, close to the Haitian border, is still a tourist secret. The expedition requires a minimum of three days.
