Whales and Barcardi Island!

Published on Mar, 2024

Wow! The whales were really putting on a show for us! And lunch at Bacardi Island? Perfect! MamaJuana arranged for Alex to pick us up and drop us off at our condo. Alex is an excellent driver! He provided little tidbits of information along the way. We arrived to our destination early so he took us out on the walking bridge nearby! Having someone there that spoke English to guide us, insuring we understood everything and even taking photos for us made this one extremely enjoyable experience!

Samana Whale Watch--an adventure of a lifetime!

Published on Mar, 2024

Excellent experience with a top notch guide who was fluent in both English and Spanish. We saw over a dozen whales and had a wonderful time on the island after--very good food for the luncheon and a great time on the beach after. We had people from 13 to 75 in our 3 generation family group and everyone had a top notch experience. The guide even suggested that we take motion sickness preventative medication and stopped at a pharmacy for us to do so. It was a good thing as the seas were quite rough on the day we went. Highly recommend this adventure of a lifetime!

Great adventure if you make it so

Alex our driver was the best. His English was near perfect and he seemed to truly enjoy meeting new people. The whales were a bit shy on our voyage but we did see them and we were fairly close. At lunch we met more people and had lots of laughs. I would not recommend this style boat for small children under 3. Best seats were on top but sun screen would be mandatory.
