The visit of humpback whales, one of the natural tourist attractions in the Dominican Republic, extends to the shores of the municipality of Miches, where nature lovers can enjoy such a fascinating spectacle.

These marine giants, which arrive every year from the beginning of January to the end of March, move from the front of La Gina de Miches bay, Loma Redonda, Costa Esmeralda and the Club Med area, further boosting tourism in the area, say hikers.

Edy Hernández, president of the company “La Carpia Tours” said that since 2018 the company obtained the first license for the observation of humpback whales in the Miches area.

According to Colonial Tour and Travel tour operator the visit to the Sanctuary of the Humpback Whales in Samana is one of the most beautiful excursions in the Dominican Republic.

Until recently, it was believed that only 85% of the Atlantic humpback whales were born in Dominican waters and returned annually to mate and breed. But a recent study revealed that all populations of the Atlantic come to reproduce in our waters.
