El Limón Waterfall — a 165-foot rainforest drop
The centerpiece is the 165-foot El Limón Waterfall set deep in the Samaná Peninsula’s rainforest — reached by a brief safari- and horseback-led approach to the ranch at the waterfall.
Luxury catamaran with unlimited onboard drinks
The trip begins with a scenic sail on a luxury catamaran across Samaná Bay, with unlimited water, rum and soft drinks served on board to set a relaxed tone for the day.
Cayo Levantado — white sand and a buffet lunch
After the waterfall and a ranch-side lunch, the itinerary returns to Samaná for time on the white sands of Cayo Levantado, where guests can swim and explore before the return crossing.
