We had the most incredible time on this tour! The whale watching was absolutely breathtaking—saw humpback whales up close, which was a once-in-a-lifetime experience. The boat ride was smooth, and the guide was very knowledgeable about the marine life. Afterward, Cayo Levantado was the perfect place to relax, with crystal-clear waters and white sandy beaches. Highly recommend this tour if you’re in the Dominican Republic!

This tour was amazing! The whales were spectacular, and we even got to see some breaching, which was a real highlight. The boat was comfortable, and the crew made sure we were safe at all times. Afterward, Cayo Levantado was paradise on earth. We spent a couple of hours lounging by the beach, sipping cocktails, and enjoying the stunning views. The entire day was well-organized, and the lunch provided was delicious. Definitely worth every penny.

The whale watching part of the tour was incredible. Seeing the whales so close was an unforgettable experience. Cayo Levantado was also beautiful, but it was quite crowded when we got there. The beach was a bit packed with other tour groups, which made it less relaxing than I expected. Still, the tour itself was very well organized, and the staff was friendly. Worth doing for the whales alone!

This tour was the highlight of our trip! The boat ride was comfortable and the whale watching was magical. We saw several whales and got great photos. The crew was fantastic, very knowledgeable, and made sure we were safe and informed throughout. Afterward, Cayo Levantado was pure paradise—soft white sand, clear blue waters, and great food. I could have stayed there for days. A must-do activity in Samana!

Such a great experience! The price was reasonable for what you get. Whale watching was the main highlight, but Cayo Levantado was stunning as well. The boat had a good crew that made sure we got the best views of the whales. Lunch was delicious, and the time on the island was just enough to relax and explore. Great value overall, and I would definitely do it again

This was such a unique experience. I’ve never been whale watching before, and the sight of these majestic creatures in their natural habitat was just surreal. The boat was nice, though a little crowded at times. Cayo Levantado was gorgeous, but I wish we had more time there. It’s a small island, and while it’s beautiful, I felt rushed. Nonetheless, it was a fantastic day out, and I’d highly recommend it.

If you love nature, this is an absolute must! The whale watching was top-notch. We saw several humpback whales, including a couple that came really close to the boat! The tour guide knew exactly where to take us for the best views. Afterward, we headed to Cayo Levantado, and it felt like a hidden gem. Crystal-clear water, plenty of space to relax, and no one bothering you. Highly recommended.

The experience was magical, and the whales were absolutely stunning. However, I do want to point out that it was a long day. The boat ride out to the whale watching area took a bit longer than I anticipated. The time at Cayo Levantado was lovely, but I was getting tired after a full day of activity. The staff was excellent and made the experience more enjoyable. If you’re okay with a long day, it’s totally worth it.

Unfortunately, we didn’t have the best whale watching experience. The whales were too far away, and we didn’t see any breaching or really close encounters. The boat ride was nice, but the guide didn’t give us much information. However, Cayo Levantado was fantastic. The beach was beautiful, and the water was so clear. If you’re mainly going for the island, you won’t be disappointed, but I was hoping for a better whale experience.

We had an amazing day! The whale watching exceeded our expectations. We saw multiple humpback whales, including a mother and calf. The boat was comfortable, and the crew was attentive. Once we got to Cayo Levantado, the island felt like paradise. It was so peaceful, and we were able to enjoy a nice swim in the warm waters. Lunch was provided and was delicious, with plenty of options. The whole tour was well-organized, and the staff really made it special. Highly recommend!
