Harry,

From Samana, the tours for Los Haitises leave about 9:30 and get back around 4-4:30. The cost is approximately US$38. In my opinion, the best tour is offered by Victoria Marine/Whale Samana, tel 538-2494, on Tuesday and Thursday. The price of $38 includes transportation across the bay in a fast launch, the park entrance fee, a knlowledgeable guide, an excellent lunch, and a return trip along the coast of the Samana peninsula so that you can see it from the water. It is necessary to call in advance to make a reservation.

This time of year there are problems with the Los Haitises tour because tourism is down. However, all of the excursion operators work together so that there is always a trip going over with at least one. So if you should get to Samana and find that the Victoria Marine/Whale Samana tour has been cancelled for lack of clients, they will get you on another tour that goes that day. This is the way that all of the excursion operators in Samana work to insure that nobody is disappointed.

I would suggest that you call Victoria Marine/Whale Samana as soon as you get to the DR to make a reservation for a tour. Or you can send a fax to Kim Beddall at 809-538-2588.
