Hi
I have been trying to find some information on taking the whalewatching tour from Saman?. I was advised to get information from Kim Beddall. I have written her twice over the past two weeks for information but, unfortunately, she has not replied.
So, how long of a drive is it from Punta Cana to Saman?, and where is the best place to rent a car? If we get to Saman?, what are the chances of being able to find a tour that goes out to see the whales? Thanks for any help!!!

On another note, I noticed a request for supplies for local schools in the DR. What is needed and where could they be dropped off in Punta Cana?

I don't think you will need a car

If you can find a local that is willing to escort you, take local transportation to Sabana de la Mar, take a ferry across the bay and go to Kim's office.

A drive will take all day for sure and you will be bone weary when you get there if you even find it.

As a matter of fact, I am fairly sure that there are organized tours from Punta Cana to the bay for whale watching...

Save yourself some work...let others do the driving..
