# Whale Watching & Limón Waterfall Day Trip

**Guidekin's take:** Humpback whales from a catamaran in Samaná Bay and a half hour horse ride to the El Limón waterfall in one day, with lunch, water, fees and an air conditioned vehicle included. It is a whale season trip only, and the operator warns of about ten hours on the road there and back. 4.55 from 146 reviews at €154 per person.

In our comparison: #17 of 17 in Day Trips, by rating weighted by review volume (table below).
