Samana Holidays

Welcome To Paradise...

Samana holidays should all begin with the words: "Welcome to Paradise." This beautiful peninsular on the northern coast of the Dominican Republic boasts glorious white sandy beaches, crystal clear waters, tropical rainforests, stunning mountain peaks and year round warm temperatures. Still relatively unspoilt with coconut coves and cascading waterfalls, forests come alive with the chatter of green parrots accompanied by the acoustic talents of the harmless cicada insects, all harmonised with palm trees blowing gently on the warm Caribbean breeze.

The scenery is just as stunning below sea level as above making snorkelling and scuba diving an absolute must on Samana holidays. Vibrant coral reefs, fascinating marine life, underwater pinnacles rising from the ocean bed, along with tunnels and caves to swim through making memories that will last a life time and images you may never see again. January to March sees the best time for whale watching trips, the mammals gather in their thousands as mating season begins, listen to the humpback's courting song, and watch the proud display as the males try to impress their ladies. Just across the bay lies Los Haitises National Park, the most stunning mangrove reserve in the Caribbean, witness humid sub tropical rain forests, cedar and mahogany trees, Hispaniolan parrots and stunning waterfalls.

Fantastic Beaches And Rolling Waves, An Area Of Stunning Natural Beauty...

The beaches to the north of the peninsular; Playa Bonita, Cozon, El Portillo or Los Terranas offer excellent waves, ideal for surfing as does the beautiful Plata Rincon beach. To the south are Playa Galeras and Caya Levantado a small island shielding the bay from the rolling waves of the Atlantic Ocean. Samana city is also worth a visit, originally discovered by the Americans it is still a mainly English speaking place today.

Horse riding and walking are extremely popular on holidays in Samana as they give the chance to see more of this wonderful peninsula, as will a 4 wheel drive through the mountains, with breathtaking views of the rugged yet lush green landscape. Shops in Samana are largely located in the hotels and consist of souvenir shops and boutiques. Restaurants offer international cuisine with street stalls selling pollo fritto, batatas and pescado. Accommodation is mainly hotel based, some offering all inclusive luxury while many supply a room only basis giving excellent opportunities to sample the local restaurants.

So if it's a taste of paradise you are looking for, then Samana is definitely the place for you as it is one of, if not the most beautiful place in the Caribbean. Oozing with natural beauty, step off the plane and forget that the rest of the world exists.
