Get out your flippers and go for a snorkel, explore shipwrecks by the shore, try your hand at windsurfing or just lie back in a coconut tree beach hammock for days…

While the wild beaches of Cabo Samana and Playa Fronton enjoy rock climbing, hiking and camping, make time for a thrilling whale-watching tour in the Samana Bay, where majestic humpback whales visit each year. The stunning El Limón waterfall offers is another must with ample opportunity for insta worthy snaps - take a refreshing dip in its emerald-green pool after a scenic horseback ride through lush tropical forests.

For an authentic fix, roam the charming town of Las Terrenas, known for its vibrant international vibe, glossy magazine beaches and sumptuous fresh seafood in plush beachside dining spots. Las Terrenas also swaggers a bubbly nightlife filled with spirited bars and discos, while the smaller towns and villages own tranquil cuisine scenes with local musicians and peaceful surrounds.

Food is certainly one of the highlights in Samana! From the street-side food stalls garnishing traditional Caribbean delights, to French and Italian favourites and prime steaks, there’s no limit when it comes to treating the taste buds!
