Las Galeras

Located on Samaná Peninsula, Las Galeras is a diving paradise for both beginners and experienced divers. Depending on preferences, they can discover coral labyrinths, caves, walls and wrecks in this pristine area. The variety of local fauna here includes rays, barracudas, marlins, tropical fish of all shapes and colors (parrotfish, porcupinefish, etc.) and even green sea turtles. The main highlight is the humpback whale, which comes here to breed and give birth. It is a magnificent experience to spot one of these giants, but it is also impressive to hear their songs while diving. The most famous dive sites around Las Galeras include Tibisi, La Herradura, Coral Garden and Piedra Solitaria. However, the most renowned spot remains Cabo Cabrón, with its coral tower that goes 55m down into the Atlantic Ocean.
