    We did a 2 hour hike. The activity was excellent! I made the reservation through Civitatis. I was in Samana. I contacted the guide who waited for me at the entrance to Los Haitises. I took the ferry boat which is a local service and arrived at Sabana de la Mar where Jacobito, the transport from the guide company, was waiting for me. We arrived at the entrance to Los Haitises and did the 2 hour hike. Excellent guide! It's worth it!

Sabana de la Mar tours and activities | Book top experiences

Sabana de la Mar is a tranquil town tucked away on the northeastern coast of the Dominican Republic, where lush mangroves meet the gentle waves of Samaná Bay. This picturesque spot is a true haven for nature lovers, promising unspoiled beaches, vibrant wildlife, and a warm, inviting local atmosphere. Here, visitors can escape the crowds and immerse themselves in the beauty of the Caribbean’s lesser-known corners.

A Bit of History

This small fishing community has a rich heritage shaped by its strategic position on the bay. Over the years, it has served as a gateway for explorers venturing into the wild El Limón waterfalls and the legendary Los Haitises National Park. Today, you can still sense traces of its storied past in its colorful port and quiet streets.

Best Time to Visit

The weather is warm year-round, but the best months to explore are from December to April, when rainfall is low and wildlife watching is at its peak. Humpback whale season, from January to March, is truly unmissable for those seeking a unique natural spectacle.
