Carnival – February – The celebration of Carnival marks the beginning of Holy Season (the Christian season of Lent, the six weeks before Easter), and is a spectacular cultural event unique to the Caribbean and Latin America. Carnival in the Dominican Republic is celebrated throughout the country during the entire month of February, with famous parades and street parties held every Sunday in La Vega, Santo Domingo, and Puerto Plata.
Distinguished by colorful costumes that symbolize religious and traditional characters, each town adds its own twist to the event. Check local news outlets, or consult with our concierge for parade details.
Whale Watching – January through March - The Dominican Republic is considered one of the Top 10 places in the world to observe Humpback Whales in their natural habitat. From mid-January through mid-March, whale watching tours offer a unique opportunity to see incredible spectacles of whales’ courting behavior, as well as exhibitions of affectionate motherly love towards the new born calves.
The Humpback Whales are migrating along the North Coast and can be seen usually mid-morning right along the beaches at Sea Horse Ranch, among other points along the coast.
Samaná Bay, located on the Samaná Peninsula on the North Coast of the Dominican Republic – 3 hours from Sea Horse Ranch – offers a unique boating experience of this incredible natural phenomenon to witness displays by the most active species of whale in the Atlantic.
Our concierge can arrange a tour for you with a Marine Mammal Specialist on an environmentally safe excursion, so please contact us for more details.
