A protected karst, mangrove, cave, and coastal landscape usually explored by authorized boat or kayak excursion from Samaná or the south side of the park.
Why It’s Worth Your Time
Los Haitises is ecologically and culturally sensitive. Routes, cave access, weather, water levels, and departure points vary, so a generic fixed-price tour description is inadequate. Choose an authorized operator, ask how it manages wildlife and cave visits, wear a life jacket, avoid touching rock art or formations, and verify whether transport, food, park charges, and community stops are included.
What Stands Out
- Karst islands, mangroves, caves, and coast
- Multiple possible departure points
- Authorized low-impact operator important
- Do not touch rock art or formations
- Weather and route changes are normal
