Moto Marina Boat Tours

Samaná

Boat trips out of Samaná town for the humpback whales in Samaná Bay, running every day from 10 January to 15 April. Two versions: a morning trip for the whales only, 9:15 to 12:45, and a full day that adds the afternoon on Cayo Levantado — Bacardi Island — with a buffet lunch and time on the beach, 9:15 to 4:30. Both include the sanctuary entrance fee and a specialist guide. Dominicans and residents get 15% off. A long-established local operator with one of the largest review counts on the peninsula.

We booked the whale watching only tour. Ended up being one of our favorite experiences from our trip to the DR. Really recommend booking with MM, while smaller tour operators do exist, I really appreciated their knowledge, and respect for these beautiful animals. Lots of the smaller operators disregarded rules for distances which was sad as many of the whales showed injuries from boat propellers. The tour guide did a good job of making sure everyone had a view at all times, making sure people who were closest to the whales remained seated so the people on the other side of the boat could still see. Also the coconut and Coca Cola at the end of the trip was a nice touch.

What an amazing tour! The boat was big, so it was no problem with the waves ( unless you get seasick easily, which the crew handled very professional) we first saw a mother and her baby and then 6!!! Grown whales. The team was very professional in finding and following them without pressuring them! It was soooo amazing! The people on the boat were nice and thanks also to the on-board photographer Joel- he did an amazing job, great pictures of us with the whales.

Very nice crew! They offered us rhum, ananas and coconut at 10 am with Latino music in the back ground while we we’re going to the National parc, the vibe was amazing! They are so nice and friendly, the tour was super interesting and Luis, the guide, spoke three languages to accommodate everyone, I definitely recommend them.
