What to expect?

Get your tickets to visit Los Haitises National Park with a wonderful lunch at Caño Hondo and swimming in the natural pools.

Starting from the port of Samaná aboard a boat or catamaran with a local tour guide, we pass the bay of Samaná next to Sabana de la Mar to visit one of the most beautiful national parks in the Dominican Republic.

Los Haitises National Park.

Visiting the island with birds around. In the nesting season, we can even see pelican chicks in the nests. Go deeper into the rocky islands and visit the caves with pictographs and petroglyphs of the indigenous people.

The tour, organized by “Booking Adventures”, begins at the established meeting point with the tour guide. Come with Booking Adventures and start seeing some bird-filled mangroves, rolling hills of lush vegetation and caves of Los Haitises National Park.

The name of the national park comes from its original inhabitants, the Taino Indians. In their language, “Haitises” translates to highlands or hills, a reference to the steep limestone geological formations of the coast. Venture into the park to explore caves such as Cueva de la Arena and Cueva de la Línea.

The caves in the reserve were used as shelter by the Taíno Indians and, later, by hidden pirates. Look for drawings of Indians decorating some of the walls.

After visiting the Los Haitises National Park we will go to Cano Hondo. In Cano Hondo you will learn about this ecological history and have lunch time with the typical food of the Sabana de la mar community.

Lunch will be delicious but we're not done yet. After lunch, we will swim in the natural pools from the Jibales River, a river to the Caño Hondo River. Staying in Caño Hondo until 4:00 pm and returning to the port of Samaná, we will pass through the mangroves again and arrive at the open bay of San Lorenzo, from where you can photograph the rugged forest landscape. Look out into the water to see manatees, crustaceans and dolphins.

Until the moment you will settle with the tour guide and after this go to the port of Cano Hondo and take a boat back to the port of Samaná passing the bay of Samaná 30 minutes.
