Description
A private boat out of Las Galeras for a group of four or five, along the string of small beaches south of the village — or out to Playa Ermitaño instead, for the same price. About two hours of running time either way. $400 for the boat. That works out at $80 per person with five aboard, or $100 with four. Above five people the price goes up, so ask the operator. Lunch is not included. On the Ermitaño version they will cook for you on the beach for an extra charge — you tell them what you would like and they prepare it there. Boats leave at 9:00 am and the operator will move the departure if you ask. The time you get back is agreed on the day with the captain.

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
