Cap off this pleasant day with a boat ride back to Miches.
After early morning hotel pickup in Punta Cana, take a 1-hour scenic bus ride through coconut trees, sugarcane fields and mountainside villages, before arriving at the bayside town of Miches. From there, board a catamaran and cruise across Samaná Bay.
Disembark at Samaná, also known as Santa Bárbara de Samaná, and hop aboard a safari truck that revs you to Ceyba Park. Walk around its tropical garden, home to more than 100 varieties of exotic plants and fruits, including royal palms, mango, cacao, banana, lemon and papaya. Enjoy a light breakfast (sandwich and fruit) before heading to a horseback-riding ranch in El Limón.
At the ranch, receive a safety briefing and gear up for an easy 20-minute trek with majestic views, with your guide pointing out the tropical flora along the way. Reach El Limón Waterfall, cascading 165 feet (50 meters) into a beautiful blue swimming hole below.
Bid your horse farewell at the ranch and continue to El Malecón, the boardwalk in Samaná, for a photo stop and lunch. At a local restaurant with a wide-ranging menu, dig into scrumptious Caribbean fare while enjoying sweeping views of the bay. (Rum, soda, juice and water are included with your meal.)
Hunger pangs satisfied, climb aboard a catamaran and motor over to Cayo Levantado, also known as Bacardi Island. Disembark at the pier and then explore this paradise of white sand beach surrounded by azure waters, perhaps with a refreshing drink in hand (beer, water, sodas and juice provided).
Afterward, board a boat for a return trip to Miches, where you’ll be transported back to your hotel in Punta Cana.
