About This Tour
Leave Puerto Plata behind for a journey to Samaná, one of the Dominican Republic’s best-known nature and ecotourism destinations. The peninsula brings together the sea, green mountains and tropical vegetation around Samaná Bay and coastal communities with a strong local identity.
This experience is centered on visiting Samaná itself. After pickup from your confirmed Puerto Plata hotel or cruise-port meeting point, travel overland toward the northeastern peninsula. On arrival, enjoy time to take in the destination’s coastal scenery, bayfront environment and everyday atmosphere without automatically attaching a separate paid attraction to the tour.
