Sailing and whales in the Dominican Republic
Dom. Republic: St. Barbara di Samaná - Cayo Levantado - Los Haitises - Isla Saona - Bayahibe
Theme trip: Sailing and whales
The Dominican Republic offers so much more than the well-known all-inclusive hotels that are only available in a few places! A very varied, diverse landscape from deep valleys and dry areas in the southwest to fertile plains, several large mountain ranges with the highest mountain in the Caribbean, the Pico Duarte at almost 3,100 m in the interior, national parks, sugar cane plantations, cattle farms, palm groves, cocoa and tobacco cultivation in the south and east.
The absolute highlight, however, are the humpback whales in the huge bay of Samaná. About 1/3 of all North Atlantic whales mate and give birth there (Jan. – March), which means about 5000 animals spend at least a few days in these shallow waters. Nowhere else in the world is there a similarly high probability of seeing these giant marine mammals with their songs and water ballets.

Wind and weather forecast
The best time to travel to the Caribbean is between December and April – ideal for soaking up the sun in winter. It is then tropically warm with water temperatures of 24-26°C and air temperatures of 24-30°C – occasionally there are short tropical rain showers. The constant trade winds ensure perfect sailing conditions.
