Whale Watching in the Dominican Republic
Whale Watching in the Dominican Republic is one of the top activities you get to do when visiting the island.
You’ll have the chance to see between 1,500 and 2,000 whales migrating to the waters of Samaná Bay on a boat tour or from the Punta Balandra Land Observatory.
The official whale watching season is from mid-January to March, but excursions are available while there are whales in the bay.
Whale Watching in Samaná

Every year, the Bay of Samana and its surrounding waters, in the northeast of the Dominican Republic, become the scene of one of nature’s most impressive shows. Thousands of humpback whales leave the North Atlantic to travel to the warm waters of the tropics, where their breeding areas are located. Discovering these marine giants, in their natural habitat, is an experience that must be enjoyed at least once in a lifetime.
The Humpback Whales Sanctuary
The Samana Peninsula and its huge bay is a place full of surprises. An idyllic tourist destination but, above all, this corner of the Dominican Republic is an authentic natural paradise.
Los Haitises National Park, the wonderful beaches of Las Galeras and Las Terrenas, the spectacular waterfall El Limón, the famous Cayo Levantado, and the Humpback Whale Sanctuary are just some of the many attractions that you can experience in the area.

Biodiversity at the core of Samaná
The Caribbean Sea and its area of contact with the Atlantic Ocean is one of the richest ecosystems on our planet. The Dominican Republic is located right in this strip, where warm waters populated by coral reefs are home to lots of marine species, from tiny fishes and mollusks to large sea giants, such as the humpback whale you might have the chance to admire closely.

Memorable moments can be found along the Samaná picturesque stretch of the Atlantic coastline. We invite you to indulge and discover everything our North Coast has to offer, from golden sand beaches with clear turquoise waters, to afternoons spent admiring the incredible sunsets.
