Cruises visiting Cayo Levantado (Dominican Republic)

Cayo Levantado, also called Bacardi Island, is one of the most beautiful islands in the Dominican Republic. Resting in the heart of Samaná Bay not far from the must-see Los Haitises National Park, the islet offers visitors magnificent picture-postcard panoramas of white-sand beaches with crystal-clear water, lined with coconut trees. Depending on the season, it is not uncommon to witness the arrival of many humpback whales making their way to the warm waters of Samaná Bay for mating season. The island’s abundant marine life makes it a favourite destination for scuba divers and snorkellers.
