Bahia Principe Hotels & Resorts offers travelers the perfect opportunity to witness one of nature’s most spectacular events—thousands of humpback whales migrating to Samaná Bay.
Recognized as one of the world’s top whale-watching destinations, the Samaná Peninsula, along with Banco de la Plata and Banco de la Navidad, forms a vast Marine Mammal Sanctuary spanning almost 13 miles. Guests can embark on exclusive boat tours to experience this breathtaking phenomenon firsthand.
Through March, visitors at Bahia Principe Grand Samaná can enjoy whale sightings as well as the annual Whale Festival at Bahia Principe Village in Santa Bárbara de Samaná from March 8-9. This event features a craft market, live folk music, and exhibitions, providing a vibrant celebration to complement the unforgettable whale-watching experience.
As part of Bahia Principe’s commitment to sustainability, these nature-filled experiences are designed to minimize environmental impact while fostering awareness and appreciation of the region’s incredible wildlife.
