Ride a safari truck up the mountain, take a horse down to El Limón Waterfall and spend the afternoon on Cayo Levantado.

Full day
Hotel pickup included

Mountains, a waterfall and an island in one day

Exploring the Samaná Peninsula is the Dominican Republic’s variety in a single trip: mountain scenery, one of the most spectacular waterfalls in the Caribbean and a final stop on a white-sand island.

You leave your hotel in Bavaro or Bayahibe by bus to La Cañita and cross over to Samaná by boat. There, a safari truck takes you up the mountain and you ride down on horseback to El Limón Waterfall for a dip in its cool water. After a traditional lunch by the pier, you sail by catamaran to Cayo Levantado for an hour and a half on the beach.
