Samaná Tour: El Limón Waterfall + Cayo Levantado: Your adventure begins
Cayo Levantado and El Limón Waterfall tour itinerary
After pickup at your hotel, the adventure begins with a drive through spectacular tropical scenery toward Sabana de la Mar, where a catamaran will be waiting to take you across Samaná Bay.
The first stop is Cayo Levantado, also known as Bacardi Island. On this island paradise you'll have time to enjoy its palm-lined beaches and crystal-clear waters. After our time on the cay, we'll cross by boat to Samaná, where a hearty Dominican buffet awaits.
After lunch, a safari-style truck takes us to the ranch, where horses are waiting for a ride through the rainforest to El Limón Waterfall. There you can enjoy an idyllic natural setting, unique views and refreshing waters.
Finally, we'll head back to the port of Samaná for the return trip sailing across the bay.
Important information before you book
The itinerary may vary depending on the day's operations and weather conditions.
Tipping is not mandatory, but it is quite customary to give something to the local guide and to the person leading the horses, especially if they help you along the way. These workers belong to a local union and rely on tips from visitors for their living, so it's very common for them to ask for one.
