Punta Cana: Whale Whatching Sanctuary Experience

1. Punta Cana: Whale Whatching Sanctuary Experience

After having been collected from your accommodation, you will begin your day out on the water to watch whales in their natural sanctuary.  You will visit a beautiful natural area aboard a certified boat out in the privileged waters of Samaná and Miches Bay. The whale watching sanctuary in Samana Bay is the winter home of a sea giant, an acrobat of the sea: the humpback whale. From January to March, these waters are their stage and refuge as they come here to give birth to their young or to find a partner to perpetuate their species through further generations. Expert guides will take you to enjoy this natural wonder aboard boats that are specially designed for this activity. As you observe these enormous and majestic beings (which can reach 53 feet in length and 40 tons in weight), you will learn more about their biology, ecology and behavior.

What people are saying about Uvero Alto

Fantastic trip with lots to absorb, really well paced and feel like this day will be one to remember for many years. The guide offered valuable insights and we really felt like we got a taste of the Dominican lifestyle and culture. The sights were incredible, our Gopro stayed warm throughout the trip! Make sure that you leave some tips to the horseriding assistants, they work really hard! (and perhaps avoid making the mistake of bringing British pounds as they have never seen that before)...

Well-arranged trip, transfer from bus to boat to horse and back went very smoothly. The waterfall is really worth seeing, recommended to actually swim in it (albeit cold). A bit busy on the boat and therefore little space, but seeing the whales is very cool. Guide is fluent in 4 languages, hats off.

OMG !!! So many heartfelt feelings gathered in one day !!! Everything is excellent and developed with maximum professionalism. Nathanel, a 10 plus grade guide! MUST! MUST! MUST! DO! It's worth every penny.

Excellent service and attention on this excursion, thanks especially to Nadine and Florent, I can't forget Christian, the photographer Pedro and the rest of the catamaran team. 1000% recommended.

It was a nice day with nice people and a good atmosphere. A bit overpriced but worth it
