Why this trip
Whale watching, palm-fringed bays and a jungle that manages without high-rises: Samaná is the quietest side of the Dominican Republic, suitable for families who prefer nature to resort life. The peninsula lies in the north-east of the country and feels like a little realm of its own. Playa Punta Popy and Calolima beach are places where children play in shallow water. The Salto El Limón is a waterfall that can be reached on foot or on horseback, an adventure for children.
Los Haitises National Park is a destination for a boat trip through mangroves and caves. The Samaná Zipline in the El Valle valley is worthwhile for older children, and the boardwalk in Samaná suits an evening stroll. The TODOBLANCO Hotel in Las Galeras is a property that families can check. The country data name November to April as the best travel time.
Puerto Plata, Punta Cana and Santo Domingo lie as neighbours in the Republic, but the distances are long, so it is advisable to stay in Samaná. Swiss Vibes discusses with you in a video call which excursions suit the children's ages.
