Overview

This day pass from The Whales Las Ballenas goes to Cayo Levantado, the island also called Bacardi Island, for a seven-hour day that includes lunch. The trip starts at 09:00 from Av. La Marina 4 in Samaná town, and the day finishes back at the same spot. A transfer to the starting point can be arranged, but it costs extra and is not part of the pass itself.

The listing gives no minute-by-minute itinerary, so the shape of the day sits with the operator. The experience runs with a maximum of 25 travellers per departure. Lunch is included, along with all fees and taxes, which removes the usual scramble for cash at the gate or the table.

Alcoholic drinks are the notable extra, so anyone wanting beer or cocktails should budget separately. The listing confirms wheelchair and pushchair access throughout, including the transportation, so travellers with limited mobility and families with babies in arms can join. Most travellers can participate, though the listing rules out anyone with heart problems or other serious medical conditions.

What To Expect From The Tour

A few practical details shape how this day goes, and most of them come straight from the listing.

Getting there. The listed start is Av. La Marina 4 in Samaná at 09:00. If you are not staying within walking distance, ask about the transfer, which the operator provides for an extra cost.
What is covered. Lunch and all fees and taxes are in the price. Alcoholic drinks are not, so bring cash or a card if you plan to drink.
Group size. The departure is capped at 25 travellers. The listing states this maximum directly.
Accessibility. The listing confirms wheelchair and pushchair access, including on the transportation and the island surfaces. Infants must sit on laps for the ride.
Weather dependence. The trip requires good weather. If it is called off for conditions, you are offered a different date or a full refund.
Pacing. There is no fixed activity schedule in the listing. Ask the operator on the day how the hours are organised.

Common issues. Two cancellation triggers sit in the listing: poor weather and a minimum number of travellers, either of which can end the day before it starts, with a different date, a different experience or a full refund offered. The group can run up to 25 people. Alcoholic drinks cost extra, and so does the transfer to the meeting point, so the pass price does not cover everything you might spend. The listing also excludes participants with heart problems or other serious medical conditions.

Common Questions

What Is Included In The Day Pass?

Lunch and all fees and taxes are included. The trip runs for seven hours, starting and ending at Av. La Marina 4 in Samaná. Alcoholic beverages are excluded.

Is Food Extra?

No, lunch is part of the pass. Alcoholic drinks are the main exclusion on the food and drink side, so anything alcoholic is paid separately.

Is Hotel Pickup Included?

The listing names a meeting point at Av. La Marina 4 in Samaná rather than a hotel pickup. The operator can provide a transfer to the starting point, but it carries an extra cost.

Is It Suitable For Wheelchair Users Or Families With Babies?

Yes, according to the listing. Transportation, surfaces and the experience itself are wheelchair accessible, pushchairs are fine, and infants can sit on laps. The meeting point is also near public transportation.

What Happens If The Weather Is Bad?

The trip requires good weather. If it is cancelled for conditions, you will be offered a different date or a full refund. The same applies if the minimum number of travellers is not met.

What Should I Bring?

The listing does not give a packing list. Plan for a full seven-hour day ending back at the same meeting point, and bring money if you want alcoholic drinks, since those are not included.
