SAMANA - WHALES. SURFING. KITING

Dominican Republic. Samana combines the beautiful white sand beaches and turquoise waters known to Punta Cana against a stunning green mountainous backdrop.The comfortable two hour transfer from Santo Domingo, or three hour transfer from Puerto Plata to the Samana Peninsula gives a truly delightful insight into the Dominican life and culture. Choose from the Gran Bahia Principe Cayocoa set right on the bay of Samana, the intimate Gran Bahia Principe Samana with only 110 rooms, the family-friendly Gran Bahia Principe El Portillo or the Gran Bahia Principe Cayo Levantado, set on its own small island.

Samana is one tourist area where credit cards are not as readily accepted. It’s best to bring cash, traveler’s checks or use your ATM card at one of the banks in town.
