Hey everybody:
This is an awesome board. Thanks for all the info you've posted here already.
I really need your help, if you guys have the time. Here's my main quandary:
I'll be in Samana in late February for three days and two nights. Driving in with my girl and her dominican mother. Anyway, we're trying to decide whether to stay in Las Galeras or Samana City. Here are the three things we're trying to do while on the peninsula:
-See the whales
-Chill on some beautiful, peaceful playas
-See El Limon waterfall
Which city do you guys recommend? I'm pulling for Las Galeras because it has better beaches, and it seems like there will be fewer tourists there. Anyway, here are some other questions I have:
-How long does it take to get to Playa Rincon (or perhaps another similarly beautiful beach) from Las Galeras?
-How long does it take to get from Las Galeras to Samana?
-How long does it take to get to El Limon from LG? And from Samana?
-Are there any nice beaches near Samana City? I'm not that into "Bacardi Island" because I've heard it's packed with tourists and vendors ? am I right?
-How long does a typical whale-watching boat trip take?
-Can you go whale-watching from LG?
Sorry to bombard you guys with so many questions. Any help you can give me would be greatly appreciated.
