About Samaná
Samaná Peninsula curves into the Atlantic like a protective arm, sheltering mangrove-lined Los Haitises National Park where humpback whales migrate each winter to birth their calves. The town sits on a crescent bay where fishing boats still outnumber tourists. Jungle trails lead to El Limón waterfall plunging into a natural pool, and offshore cays offer deserted beach days.
