Humpback Whales
Did you know that Samaná is reputed for it’s humpback whale watching during the whale season from December to March. Humpback whales can be seen in the protected reef of Banco de la Plata (Silver bank) just outside Samaná. During these months approx. 2000 to 3000 humpback whales migrate from the cold North into the warm sea in order to mate or to breed.
This is without any doubt a breathtaking spectacle watching these giants of the sea measuring up to 16m and weighing around 40 tons jumping and diving in the water. Humpback whales are said to be the most entertaining whales of all, especially during mating season.
Imagine looking out your window when all of a sudden a humpback whale breaches the surface of the water. Welcome to the reality of La Ensenada. We invite you to come and check out this spectacular natural cove and see how you can make it your reality.
