Samaná Province

A northeastern peninsula province and a prime winter humpback whale-watching destination, with Las Terrenas Beach, Limón Waterfall and Los Haitises National Park.

Samaná Province lies in the northeast of the Dominican Republic, made up mainly of the Samaná Peninsula, which juts into the Atlantic, with Santa Bárbara de Samaná as its capital. From roughly January to March, humpback whales breed in Samaná Bay, making it peak whale-watching season. On the north shore, Las Terrenas, Las Galeras and Playa Rincón are beautiful beaches; inland, Limón Waterfall can be reached on horseback or on foot; and across the bay lie the mangroves and karst islands of Los Haitises National Park. The gateway is Samaná El Catey International Airport, and you can also drive from Santo Domingo via the highway.
