About this tour

El Limón Waterfall and Cayo Levantado

This Samaná excursion from Punta Cana combines mountain scenery, El Limón Waterfall and the coast of Samaná Bay in one ambitious day. Travel to the peninsula, continue by safari-style vehicle and horseback, visit the waterfall and take a boat toward Cayo Levantado.

The route also includes a rural stop connected with coffee, cacao and tobacco, plus a buffet lunch and drinks. It is best for active travelers who accept a very early departure, long transportation time and changing terrain.

Fitness and Timing

The waterfall section can include mud, slopes, steps and a substantial walk even when horses are used. Closed shoes with grip are essential. Guests with back, hip, knee, mobility or animal-allergy concerns should ask for details. The current eight-hour duration appears short for a Punta Cana departure and must be verified before publication.

What to Bring

Bring secure shoes, swimwear, a towel, dry clothes, sunscreen, insect repellent, water and cash. A rain layer is useful. Tips for local horse handlers are not automatically included.
