Thanks again for putting the excursions here. That was a great idea. I really didn't see anything that stood out for us here, but I really don't mind just finding a quiet place on the beach and let the girls play in the ocean either!! Works for all of us. They LOVE the water.
Things are harder to find for this island. Here is one site.
Description:
Cayo Levantado is a small stretch of land off the northeast coast of the Dominican Republic in Samaná Bay. The area offers the beauty of natural rainforest vegetation, marvellous white sand beaches and crystal clear water. Cayo Levantado, due to its location, is the perfect spot to see humpbacked whales in January, February and March.
A friend of mine was reading somewhere on the internet today that you should bring your own food and drinks onto this island. Has anyone else heard of this? Does anyone know for sure if the hotel still does the buffet thing? Just wondering. Also, will there be many tenders back to the ship, in case the food here is inedible?
Has anyone made any plans for this island yet? I haven't as of yet. I am going to let the girls decide (with my help, of course). We will probably just lounge about one of the beaches.
