Day 7: A meeting of whales
The highlight of the show undoubtedly remains whale watching! From January to March, the winter parade of humpback whales in Samaná Bay is a unique spectacle. The bay is the annual meeting place for humpback whales coming down, looking for a companion and performing a frenetic bridal parade before mate. Males jump out of the water and hit the surface with their caudal fin. Nearly 10 000 whales gather for the occasion. When the small ones completed their mother's milk reserves, towards the end of March, migration took place to the cold seas of the northern hemisphere.
