Description
A day on Samaná bay taking in both of its set pieces: the mangrove channels, caves and bird cliffs of Los Haitises national park, and the beach on Cayo Levantado. $80 per person, lunch included. One thing to plan for — the price does not cover getting to the port in Samaná town, where the boat leaves from. From Las Galeras that is about forty minutes by road, so arrange a taxi or ask the operator what they suggest when you book.

Meeting Point
The port in Samaná town. Getting there is not included — from Las Galeras it is about forty minutes by road. Agree the departure time and the pick-up point with the operator by WhatsApp when you book.
Accessibility & Requirements
The trip leaves from the port in Samaná town and that transport is not included. Departures depend on sea conditions. Los Haitises is a national park with its own entrance fee — ask the operator whether it is covered by the $80 before you book. Much of the day is spent on the boat, with mangrove channels and caves rather than long stops on land, and there is a beach stop on Cayo Levantado.
Small local operator in Las Galeras running boat trips along the roadless side of the Samaná peninsula — Playa Frontón, Playa Madama, Las Tortugas, Playa Rincón and Playa Ermitaño — plus day trips to Los Haitises and Cayo Levantado and a buggy route through the countryside behind Las Galeras. Boats usually leave at 9:00 am and the return time is agreed on the day with the captain. Seafood lunch on the beach is an option on some of the trips.

Ty Vanderhorst3 years agoLeo is amazing! I booked a last minute beach tour trip with Leo for my Birthday weekend and he was very accommodating. The tour felt very private with only my group and a couple from the Hotel we were staying at. Leo seemed very knowledgeable about the area and the history of some of the mountains and beaches in the area. We did the tour of the 7 beaches which was amazing. One of the beaches was overcrowded and he offered to take us to a quieter nicer beach which ended up being amazing. Some of the beaches he covered was Playa Fronton, Playa Rincon, Playa Colorado, Playa Madame, etc.See this review on Google
Robert H.4 years agoLeo is very communicative, he has prepared trips on boat ( whale watching, Bacardi island, Frontón beach, etc. ) or he can arrange for you 8-15 people car trips, transport with his brother Anjelo, very skilled and calm driver ( it is needed in DR traffic :-) ) , so I really recommend to call Leo, if you are planning any route in Dominican Republic, especially in Samaná Region.See this review on Google
