We had a wonderful experience on this tour with Emilio and Rene. They were professional, knowledgeable, and made the trip enjoyable from start to finish. The whale-watching was incredible—we saw several whales, and Emilio provided great insights about them. The boat ride was smooth, and everything felt well-organized. Bacardi Island was stunning, with beautiful beaches and clear water, perfect for relaxing. Rene made sure we were comfortable and had everything we needed. The entire trip was well-paced, giving us enough time to enjoy each part. We also appreciated the friendly and welcoming atmosphere. Overall, a fantastic day and a highly recommended tour. Thank you!

All around it was a nice trip. The whales were definitely the highlight!
The organizer contacted us via WhatsApp about pickup time etc.
The bus ride from Punta Cana was problem-free. You stop at a souvenir shop, where you can also go to the toilet or buy something to drink.
At the port you get a sandwich and a drink in a cafe. Then it's time for the boat. Either you go whale watching directly and then to Bacardi Island or vice versa, depending on the group.
Bacardi Island is quite nice, but there are a lot of people there, including from the Aida. The beach is not as crass as you might think.
You get there p.P. two vouchers for drinks at the bar (Cola, water or Rum-Cola) and a voucher for eating at a buffet (rice/beans, potatoes, carrots, a bit of salad with fish and meat. It was okay).
Our scout Emilio was great! Very sympathetic. On the bus ride he told interesting facts about life in the Dom Rep and guided us through the day well in time (good English and Spanish).
If you have a sensitive stomach or are seasick, you should prepare well for the boat trip. With all these waves, you can get really sick. We saw two whales, got close to them and were able to take great photos. It was fascinating. Emilio says you have an 85% chance of seeing whales. Samana Bay is a national park with clear rules for whale watching. We were partly the only ones, partly with only one other boat at a whale or at one point.
