Recommended by 10 out of 11 hikers
The capital of the province of Samana is Santa Barbara de Samana, but is usually called only Samana. Samana is located in the same bay and has a small, offshore island, Cayo Virgia, which can be explored over a long foot bridge. Further out is the so-called Barcai island Cayo Levantado.
The city is a popular starting point for excursions to the Cayos (such as Cayo Levantado), Los Haitises National Park, the whale watching in the Bay of Samaná and inland, for example to the waterfalls "Salto El Limón".
