SeaDream II — Upcoming Port Calls & Shore Excursions

SeaDream II makes a recorded call to Samana in the Dominican Republic, offering travelers a single active tour at this port. This intimate yacht-style vessel provides a refined base for exploring one of the Caribbean’s most naturally rich destinations.

Samana Shore Experiences

The port of Samana, situated on the northeast coast of the Dominican Republic, is a gateway to lush tropical landscapes and coastal wonders. The single active tour available from SeaDream II typically focuses on the region’s renowned natural attractions. Travelers can expect excursions that highlight the dramatic Los Haitises National Park, a protected area of limestone karst islets, mangrove forests, and ancient Taino cave drawings accessible by boat. Alternatively, some tours may venture to the El Limon waterfall, a 170-foot cascade reached by horseback or hiking through humid rainforest. Whale-watching excursions are also common during the winter months (January through March), when humpback whales migrate to the warm waters of Samana Bay. Cultural stops might include a visit to the local town of Samana, where a small community of descendants of 19th-century African American immigrants adds a unique cultural layer. Because only one active tour is listed, travelers should book early to secure their preferred experience. The itinerary allows for a full day of exploration, with the ship typically departing in the late afternoon.
