Dominican Republic Expat and Travel ArticlesWatching Humpback Whales at Samana Bay
Recently, I discovered that I am not really too enthusiastic about zoos anymore. I just can't find myself to derive happiness from seeing animals in captivity especially when they appear inside very poorly maintained locations. I just can't be happy about that.

Fortunately, conservation efforts are already established in order to protect these magnificent creatures from total extinction. Now you can see at least 300 of them at any given time during the mating season. Humpbacks are not too shy about their activities and they are pretty much easy to observe when you are in the areas of the Samana Bay where they mate and breed. It's always fun to see the humpbacks in action and listen as they call out their mating songs. It is very fortunate for the Dominican Republic to play host to these fascinating creatures, which is why the national government is pretty strict when it comes to the preservation of humpback whales. Other than humpback whale watching, other activities that you can enjoy while you are here includes horseback riding, swimming, snorkeling, and diving. Exploring the rainforests around the area is also one good way to enjoy your stay here. Whale watching is the most popular activity in the Samana Bay, however. You can talk about...
