Santa Barbara de Samaná, more commonly known simply as Samaná, is the main city and port of the Samaná Province in the Dominican Republic. The province covers the territory of the peninsula of the same name, located in the northeast of the country-one of the most beautiful corners of the world and the most exquisite resort of the Dominican Republic.
The peninsula’s terrain is mountainous. A mountain range rises across the entire peninsula, creating the most pleasant microclimate. The Samaná Peninsula is lush vegetation, unique beaches, waterfalls, and remarkable natural phenomena. This corner of the land has been chosen for breeding humpback whales, which every year from January to April swim into the waters of the peninsula and captivate people with their mating games.
The Samaná Peninsula is one of the most attractive tourist destinations in the Dominican Republic for beach holidays by the sea in the Caribbean region. It stretches directly to the Atlantic Ocean, allowing tourists to fully enjoy their time on the water; here, diving, surfing, snorkeling, and windsurfing are especially popular. Samaná is also an excellent place for sea fishing. The local waters are known for a wide variety of fish, including blue marlin. Various types of fishing are organized on the island-from spearfishing to fishing from a yacht.
