| Whale Watching in the Bay of SamanaAdventure Tour to see the Humpback Whales in the bay of Samana
only from 15th of January to 15th of March
So many humpback nearby is one reason the World Wildlife Fund (WWF) considers Samana one of the best places in the world for watching whales. The humpback are warm blooded, air breathing mammals belonging to the group of the largest whales, the great whales. Measurements of 60 ft. and 60 tons - the combined weight of more than 800 persons. The flippers could be up to 18 ft. long. The humpbacks come each winter to the warm, calm water of the Caribbean, especially to the bay of Samana / Dominican Republic, to mate, give birth and nurse newborn calves. Then in the spring they migrate to the fish rich banks off the coast of Greenland / Iceland ( 3200 miles n/ 5000 km )
Our Whale Watching Excursion starts in Bayahibe Dominicus, where we pick you up with a comfortable bus from the hotels Canoa, Gran Dominicus, Iberostar - Hacienda Dominicus, Dominicus Palace, Dominicus Beach and Casa del Mar. We will drive 1,5 hours to Sabana del Mar where we embark on the whale watching boat . After a short boat ride we reach the breeding areas. We have time to watch and take photos of these fascinating animals. After our visit to the whales we head for the island Cayo Levantado for lunch. After lunch we return by boat to Sabana del Mar where our bus is waiting to bring us back to Bayahibe. We arrive at around 6 pm in Bayahibe. Please bring: Camera, binoculars, right cloth for the boat ride.
