Boat Trips, Jungle Trails, Hidden Beaches and Wild Nature All From Your Front Door.
Great Adventures AwaitEvery year, thousands of humpback whales migrate to the warm waters of Samaná Bay, one of the largest whale gatherings in the world.
Boat tours from Las Galeras put you closer than you'd ever expect. You'll watch them surface, breach, and move through the water in a way that stays with you long after you return to shore.
And then you come back to Araya.
You settle into your private balcony soaking tub, above the bay, above the boat tours, above the noise and the whales are still there.
No schedule. No tour guide. Just you, the water below, and the chance that something extraordinary might breach into your afternoon without warning.
The boat takes you to them. Araya brings them to you.
