Gear up for a day of fun, excitement and discovery on Samana’s premier 4x4 safari. Your adventure begins when you board a specially equipped open-air safari truck at the pier.
Travel from the main road to an unpaved road that takes you through small, colorful villages. Along the way, your expert guide provides interesting information on Dominican life and culture.
Your first stop is at a typical Dominican farm featuring native fruits, coconut, coffee and chocolate. How are these items are grown, harvested and prepared for market? You’ll find out with a chance to sample the fruits and some fantastic, freshly-brewed coffee.
Next is Playa El Valle, an untamed white-sand beach fringed with palm trees. Explore the rocks that form small caves and play in the fresh, cool water that bubbles up from underground springs.
Re-board the safari vehicle for the brief trip to La Cascada El Valle, a beautiful cascading waterfall. You will have some time here to swim in the natural pool.
Take the Loma de la Pina Trail through lush vegetation before making a pleasant return to the Samana Pier.
