Things to do in Samaná

The Samaná Peninsula is a truly unique experience in the Dominican Republic, vastly different from the heavily resort-populated southeastern areas of the island. With the majority of tourists coming from France and Italy, here you can get by with Italian and French, just as much as you can with Spanish. With a distinctly easy-going atmosphere, the Samaná Peninsula is perfect for relaxing on the white sand beaches and swimming in the crystal-clear waters. There are, however, a great number of day trips and other activities worth doing in the region. Don’t miss out on a trip to El Limón Waterfall or to discover Los Haitises National Park. For the more adventurous souls, ziplining above the green forest makes for an unforgettable experience. Take a day trip to the nearby village of Las Galeras and go red sea urchin snorkeling or relax on the serene beach of Playa Rincon. The Samaná Peninsula offers a unique island experience, so make sure to visit this are of the island on your next trip to the Dominican Republic!
