Samaná, Dominican Republic

Dominican Republic

A 3-day trip to Samaná, Dominican Republic

Lush jungle cliffs, raw Atlantic swells, and winter humpback nursery waters.

Perched on the Dominican Republic's rugged northeastern peninsula, Samaná is the antidote to Punta Cana's manicured resort enclaves. Encompassing the historic port town of Santa Bárbara de Samaná along with remote coastal outposts, it draws travelers seeking steep palm-carpeted ridges falling directly into turquoise bays, pre-Columbian sea caves, and one of the globe's premier North Atlantic humpback mating grounds.
