- Time Zone: (GMT )
Clasped between the Dominican Republic mainland and the jungle-draped hillsides of the Samaná Peninsula, little Cayo Levantado is a jade droplet in sapphire seas. Tread softly across ivory-white sands before crossing the crystalline waters of Samaná Bay towards unscripted adventures. To the north, a primordial world of rainforests, waterfalls and secret coves, where hiking trails thread through lush forests to soul-stirring viewpoints. Travel south to paddle pristine mangroves serenaded by a symphony of birdsong or cruise to powder-soft beaches where coconut groves spill down to cerulean shores. Colourful clapboard houses outshone only by the radiance of bougainvillaea and hibiscus provide the backdrop for fresh fish feasts and rum punch sunsets.
