? Full Description
Your private experience begins with a personalized hotel pickup from the Bayahibe / Punta Cana area at the time that best suits you. Travel comfortably in a private vehicle to the port of Las Cañitas or Sabana de la Mar, depending on sea conditions and your preferences.
After a light breakfast, you’ll board your private catamaran, reserved exclusively for your group. Cruise across the breathtaking Samaná Bay toward the protected whale sanctuary, where hundreds of humpback whales gather each winter to mate and give birth.
With no rush and no crowds, your captain follows strict sanctuary regulations while maximizing opportunities to observe whales breaching, tail-slapping, and swimming with calves—an unforgettable, intimate wildlife encounter.
Following the whale watching, sail to Cayo Levantado, one of the most beautiful islands in the Dominican Republic. Enjoy a private beach setup, swim in turquoise waters, and savor a traditional Dominican lunch (or a customized menu on request). Spend the afternoon exactly as you wish—sunbathing, swimming, or simply relaxing—before returning by catamaran and private transfer to your hotel.
