Your Included Excursions

Our members have the following excursions included in their stay.

Visit to Cayo Levantado Island with access to the VIP area

Your Included Excursions
The idyllic island of Cayo Levantado is also known as Bacardi Island (a Barcardi commercial was filmed there in the 1970's!), and is one of the Dominican Republic's most well-known tourist spots - and for good reason!

This paradise-like island boasts brilliant white sand and stunning palm-fringed beaches that need to be seen to be believed. What's more, you'll have access to the VIP area with sun loungers on the beach and butler service. 

Your Optional Excursions

Our members can choose to add the following excursions at the next stage of the booking process for an additional fee - subject to availability. 

Samana Zip Line

Your Optional Excursions
This adventure begins nearby Samana's dock, on the way to Juana Vicente. This adventure offers a zip line challenge of 20 platforms and 10 lines, so you can be sure that you´re in to be absolutely thrilled by the speed with which you'll go down the slopes, the sheer beauty of the surroundings, and the adrenaline rushing through your entire body!

Following a brief tour onboard safari-type trucks, brace for an incredible ride over the forest canopy. After a quick safety lecture by the expert guide, explaining the zip line procedures, you will start this exciting, but highly safe and controlled descend through the trees. Just the sight of lush mountains, the tropical forests and the formidable landscapes of Cayo Levantado Island make this tour already a worthy one. Slide at high speed through a wooded forest, delight with the views and fly over this paradise to see the wild from on high and in a way like you never imagined!

Los Haitises & Cayo Levantado

Your Optional Excursions
The journey begins in the historic waterfront city of Samana on board a speedboat, before reaching the beautiful Los Haitises National Park! This ecological reserve has a high number of endemic birds, three ecosystems and swamps that make this place magical. Also, this park contains the highest potential of groundwater: 100-150 rivers cross it, forming a mixture of fresh and salt water where crabs, oysters, carp, freshwater prawns and even the manatees live. Its lush vegetation will take you to through different caves, where the Pirates hid their treasures long time ago! 

This tour continues in the extraordinary Bacardi Island, where a delicious lunch will delight your palate and an open bar with national drinks will be the ideal complement to a refreshing swim on the beach. A day to remember!
