Prepare to be awe-struck by the incredible wildlife spectacle of whale watching in the Dominican Republic. To optimise your chances of witnessing these gentle giants, visit Punta Cana between January and April. Marvel at seeing humpback whales in the wild, watching them perform the dramatic show of leaping out from the water’s surface. Home to an abundance of marine life, such as different types of rays, hawksbill turtles and starfish and manatees, take the opportunity to observe other aquatic creatures whilst being out at sea.
