Jeep Safari

Jeep Safari – shore excursions with Bakadi Dreams

Off the road in Samaná

The Jeep Safari is the tour for people who would rather see how the peninsula actually lives than tick off a viewpoint. The track leaves the coast road within a few minutes and climbs into the hills behind Samaná through cocoa, coffee and coconut smallholdings, with stops at a farm where the beans are dried on racks by the roadside and a village where the school and the colmado are the whole centre of things.

The high point is El Valle, a wide grey-sand beach on the Atlantic side, split down the middle by a rock formation and backed by green hills with almost nothing built on them. It is reached by a rough track, which is exactly why the coaches never appear and why it stays empty.

Expect dust and a bumpy ride; this is a genuine Jeep Safari rather than a scenic drive. The tour starts at the harbour exit in Samaná, runs privately for your group with an English-speaking guide, and is timed to have you back on board in good time.

This Jeep Safari is the most adventurous way to explore Samana.

Experience the beauty of the Dominican Republic off the beaten track on this fun Samaná Jeep Safari with Bakadi Dreams. Known for its vibrant culture and dreamy beaches, Samaná has plenty of hidden gems to discover by jeep.

A special highlight is the idyllic beach of El Valle, split in two by a dramatic rock formation that gives it a truly unique atmosphere. Well off the usual tourist routes, it’s a real insider tip and the perfect place to relax. Your tour begins right at the Samaná harbour exit, timed to suit your ship’s schedule.

Accompanied by a friendly English-speaking guide, this private Bakadi Dreams excursion runs in a small group with a guaranteed return to your cruise ship in good time.
