    When is the best time to do this tour?

    The Dominican Republic is warm and tropical year-round, so this tour runs all year. The dry season (December to April) offers the most reliable sunshine.

    Hike to El Limón Waterfall and relax on Cayo Levantado (Bacardi Island) in this full-day trip from Santo Domingo. Nature, adventure, and beach time with lunch included.

    About this tour

    Embark on a full-day adventure that blends Samaná’s iconic waterfall with the beauty of its most famous island: El Limón Waterfall & Cayo Levantado (Bacardi Island). The journey begins with an early pickup in Santo Domingo and a scenic drive through the Dominican countryside towards Samaná. Upon arrival, get ready for the highlight of the morning: El Limón Waterfall. Reaching the falls requires either a moderate hike or a guided horseback ride through lush tropical forest. The reward is breathtaking — a 130-foot cascade plunging into a turquoise pool where you can swim, cool off, and take unforgettable photos. After your waterfall adventure, enjoy a traditional Dominican lunch featuring rice, beans, plantains, and fresh local dishes. This is the perfect way to recharge before heading to the second part of the journey: Cayo Levantado, also known as Bacardi Island. This small island in Samaná Bay is world-renowned for its powdery white sands, turquoise waters, and iconic palm trees that once starred in Bacardi rum commercials. Here, you’ll have free time to relax, swim, or stroll along the shoreline. Unlike crowded tourist beaches, Cayo Levantado maintains a sense of Caribbean paradise that balances authenticity and comfort. Your guides will ensure everything runs smoothly, from logistics to timing, so you can focus on the experience. This tour is perfect for travelers who want the best of both worlds: adventure in nature and relaxation by the sea. Book now to experience one of the Dominican Republic’s most iconic combinations in a single day.
