Cayo Levantado from Samaná

📍 Samaná · ⏱️ Full day (8-9 h)

A boat leaves Samaná's pier for Cayo Levantado, the islet better known as Bacardi Island, about twenty minutes out into the bay. The visit centres on the island's public beach, with calm shallow water, shade under the palms and local stalls serving Dominican food and drinks. There is time to swim and walk the shoreline before the return crossing.
