If the views are not enough, then a whale might just be the perfect addition to your upcoming vacation in Samana, especially if you\u2019ll stay in Bahia Principe Grand Cayacoa<\/a>,  Cayo Levantado Resort<\/a> or Bahia Principe Grand Samana<\/a>.<\/p>\n

We\u2019re just in the middle of the mating and breeding season of the humpback whales, which have taken over the Silver Bank nearby the Samana Bay  from  January 15 and up until March 31. Be sure to reach your Privilege Concierge for more information on available tours and insiders\u2019 tips.<\/h6>\n

As a side note, and for all avid snorkelers, the Silver Bank is one of only a few places in the world where humans can swim and snorkel alongside humpback whales. Of relatively shallow waters it remains off limits to large ships, thus turning it into a safe haven for the North Atlantic humpback whale population to mate and give birth.<\/p>\n

Snorkelers can catch up with the humpback whales between December and April, when they pass through the area.<\/p>\n

Have you had the chance to witness this wonder of nature? Share your experiences with the rest of the community!<\/p>\n
