Humpback Whale Watching & Montaña Redonda
One of the questions we're asked most often is: what is the must-do experience during a trip to the Dominican Republic? Our answer is always the same: when will you have the opportunity to see humpback whales again? If you're planning to visit the Dominican Republic between January 15 and April 15, we invite you to witness these incredible mammals during their annual migration to Samaná Bay, on the island's north coast. During this excursion, you'll discover why these majestic animals, which can weigh more than twenty times the weight of a car, migrate to Samaná Bay every year. To provide a more personal and enjoyable experience, this tour is operated in small groups with an English-speaking guide.

Traveler reviews
“Beautiful day! We loved whale watching and Montana Redonda. We saw many whales very close to our boat. It was particularly moving to see a couple of whales with their calf following our boat for long minutes. We loved it when the female went along the boat and turned her head to observe us. The captain of the boat was great, we stayed more than four hours at sea, frankly, it is an unforgettable memory.”
“Great boat crew got of many whale views Excellent lunch at a Dominican restaurant Fun tour of the mountain Transport driver and Guide Jose were excellent”
“Honestly I was a little sketched out leaving the resort but I’m so glad we did this excursion! Everyone was super nice and we experienced so much more than we imagined! Definitely worth the money and time! The views were breathtaking and the whales were amazing too. Definitely recommend!”
“We had an exceptional time! The whales were there… magical 🥰 This agency is fantastic, we enjoyed all our excursions.”
“Amazing trip! The boat ride was so fun, the music matched the vibe so beautifully. We managed to see two whales on the trip, they said it was a low for them but you can never guarantee a wildlife viewing, so 2 was amazing for us! The team seemed like a big family, always joking with each other, dancing and singing. Lunch was absolutely delicious, getting a taste of dominican culture, AMAZING! And the trip up Montana Redonda, not having enough space in the big caravan so they got us a private escort in a very new Toyota truck. It was an absolutely breathtaking climb, and an even better view from the top! I would 100% go on this excursion again.”
