Travel notes

Inside, the roads are tortuoses, unevens and with potholes. The service of local bus is good but slow.

Arriving at Sabana de La Mar with own car, it's impossible to ferry the car. Because of low seabeds, the ferry don't run of ferry-boat.

At times the motorcyclists get to ferry the motorcycle, at times no.

Why Samana

A Canadian married couple of French language, that from years winter for three months (January, February, March) in Dominican Republic,

word for word says: ''we divide our long vacation between Samana peninsula and Boca Chica. In the north, we find virgin and

uncontaminated beaches of Las Terrenas, surrounded by luxuriant hills (because rains more frequently),

while in Boca Chica there is a beach certainly no virgin but spectacular, with all services,

a bay with tepid and calm water and always good weather. And we are nearby Santo Domingo Capital City, rich in colour and night life.''

From Samana is possible to reach in a short time the impressive beaches of Las Terrenas, Las Galeras and Playa Rincon, that extend for miles,

with a sea that has a thousand colours, easy and safe seabeds inside the barrier reef. Only for expert scuba divers the dives over the reef.
