Samaná

Samaná is a beautiful peninsula in the north of the Dominican Republic. An unspoiled oasis on the Atlantic coast and one of the Dominican Republic’s most inviting destinations where you can relax without keeping an eye on the clock and watch life pass by from a picture-postcard beach. This ancient peninsula is friendly and humble, where the color of its traditional houses, lushness of its forests and tranquility of its coconut palms are all blended together with a skyline of white, sandy beaches and crystal-clear water. It's definetly a place with areas of great natural beauty which leave everyone that sees them breathless. 

From January to March the region is blessed to the appearance of the whales. They travel here to reproduce in the warm waters of the bay. The natural spectacle created by these whales coming from the northern seas to this small corner of Samaná is unique. Some weigh as much as 40 tons and sing as they leap and glide about in these waters in order to find a mate to guarantee the future of their species.
