How
to reach
Starting
from Las Americas airport nearby Boca
Chica, get the new Samaná Highway that leads to the peninsula. Approximately,
it is a two hours ride.
Caribe Tour and Metro bus leave from the Capital city. Arriving by plane to Puerto
Plata on the north coast, the trip takes two hours, along
the coast. Finally, an alternative route for enthusiast explorers. From Boca
Chica to San Pedro, then north as far as Hato Mayor
inside the mountains. Tortuous descent to Sabana de La Mar, on the
south coast of Samana bay, beside Los Haitises Natural Park, very impressive,
to visit by boat, among the mangroves. Finally, ferry from Sabana de La Mar up to Samana.
Why
Samana
If you love nature, the green colors of the forest, long white solitary sandy with turquoise water and lovely little towns, this is your ideal place.
If you love active vacations, walking, diving, snorkeling, horseback riding, sailing, then this is your destination.
You can spend your time on a beach right in front of your hotel, but this is truly a place for explorers, Cozy hotels, whale-watching, national parks, but I get ahead of myself.
This is my list of the main attractions of this lovely peninsula, and there are many. I’ll try and not leave any out.
You'll find most of them in our excursion section.
To the south side is Cayo Levantado, an easy and well-known excursion, just 15 minutes from Samana. It is a lovely island with white sand beaches (playa Bacardi) flanked by coconut trees.
Los Haitises National Park has mangrove forests and caves
