Full description 

With this tour we will take you on a unique emotional journey. No other tour will leave you in awe like this direct encounter with mother nature. You will take the company provided transfer to the port city Las Cañitas where you will switch to a motomaran and head to the open waters searching for whales. Every year between the months of January and March these majestic creatures come to the warm waters of the Atlantic to reproduce. Witness incredible displays of flippering, tail lobbing and breaching by the most active species of whale in the Atlantic. Seeing mother nature at its best, observing something so majestic is overwhelming and, believe us, leaves you breathless.

Afterwards, you will head to the beautiful piece of paradise called the island of Cayo Levantado. It is well known for its snow white sands and crystal clear waters. After having lunch and relaxing on the beach around 3 PM you will take the motomaran back to Las Cañitas. From here the transfer will take you back to your hotels in Bayahibe or Punta Cana.
