This tropical escape is a bucket-list must – and here's why. After a short bus ride to Cañitas Pier, you'll hop on a boat to Cayo Levantado – aka Bacardi Island – for ultimate beach vibes, coconut palms, and a delicious Dominican lunch. Then, keep those sunhats on because next up is Playa Rincon, where turquoise waters and palm-lined shores await, followed by canoeing through Caño Frio's mangroves. You'll wrap things up with a city tour of Samana, then it's back to your hotel.

Los guías 10/10, el tiempo en cada lugar también fue muy bueno. Quizás lo único sería que deberían dar un snack por la tarde ya que son muchas horas.

De ervaring was super, mooi eiland met kristal helder water. Aangeboden lunch was oké. Alles moest wel in hoog tempo, maar je gaat ook veel zien. Gids was op zich prima, maar ook dat ging in een snel tempo. Gids kende wel duverse talen dus dat was top. Jammer dat de groep in twee gesplits werd, 1 groep ging met paarden naar de watervallen (daar was ons niets over bekend, heel slecht van onze reisleider) en de andere groep ging per auto de stad verkennen.

The both tour guide ( Nata amd Penny were excellent, very experienced and helpful).The tour is quite long , I would recommended to devided it in 2 days to have more time for each srop and see more attractions being already in Samana..

Nous sommes partis tôt de l'hôtel 6h25, mais avons attendu entre 30 et 45 min avant de monter dans le bus sans trop savoir pourquoi. Il est très intéressant d'aller un peu vers nord pour voir autre chose, autres paysages. Nous restons un peu sur notre faim, cela manquait d'arrêt pourquoi pas dans un champ de banane pour comprendre le fonctionnement d'une récolte. Dommage qu'il y est autant de trajet en bus. La conduite est aussi locale, pas tjrs rassurante. Notamment pour le retour en bus.

The trip was good but it felt like there was too much. The trip was in multiple languages and Definetly there was elements left out for those not Spanish speaking. The trip was also split in two with some doing a non advertised tui trip and others the one we had booked. The beaches were amazing and lunch good but alot of travel and very little explanation in English of what is going on. The tour of Samaná was non existent and was a bloke showing us a few bits from a mini van with no explanation.
