In the north of the Dominican Republic, in Samaná Bay, every year humpback whales gather during the mating season. This tourist attraction is one of the most famous of the island, and takes place every year between January and March, when the Caribbean waters are filled with the fins of these cetaceans that you can practically touch with your hands.

The tour not only includes the sighting of one of the largest mammals in the world, but you can also visit Cayo Levantado, better known as Bacardi Island, a place where the crystal-clear water mixes with the golden sand in a picture that is completed with a typical jungle vegetation of these latitudes.
