Punta Cana: Samana with Waterfall & Bacardi Island Day Trip

Punta Cana: Samana with Waterfall & Bacardi Island Day Trip

We begin our journey from Bayahíbe or Bávaro, passing through charming villages until we reach La Cañita, where we’ll board a boat to the Samaná Peninsula.

Upon arrival, a safari truck will take us to the mountain, where we’ll ride horses down to the stunning El Limón Waterfall, one of the tallest in the Caribbean. Enjoy a refreshing swim, take photos, or simply relax amidst nature.

Afterward, we’ll recharge with a delicious traditional Dominican lunch, followed by a catamaran ride to the paradise of Cayo Levantado (Bacardí Island). Relax on its white-sand beaches and crystal-clear waters for 1 hour and 30 minutes.

We’ll end our adventure by returning to La Cañita, where transportation will be waiting to take you back to your hotel. A day you’ll never forget!

Reaching El Limón waterfall is an adventure that takes you on a 2.5-kilometer (1.5-mile) journey through thick forest, on horseback, or foot down lush hilly terrain, while spotting flora and fauna along the way. You can also go canyoning through the El Limón River to reach the falls. Native plants grow abundantly here in the wild, like the royal palm tree, and pineapples.

Birds are also ubiquitous, like the palmchat–the DR’s national bird–the Hispaniolan woodpecker, and the Broad-billed tody. Once at the falls, marvel at the beauty of El Limón’s tumbling cascade–dropping 40 meters (130 feet) from the top of Sierra de Samaná. Cool off from the journey in the freshwater emerald pool beneath the falls, and take in the surrounding wild, jungle landscape and gushing sounds of El Limón.
