Include Cayo Levantado as a day dedicated to the coast during your trip around Samaná. The island is visited on an outing around the bay, so it is best to decide on the main excursion first and confirm the departure point with the operator before booking. The city of Samaná can be a practical base if this plan is central to your itinerary; Las Terrenas and Las Galeras offer different beach experiences for those who prefer to divide their stay in another way. A balanced combination is to set aside one day for Cayo Levantado and another to explore a natural setting on the peninsula, such as an outing to waterfalls or mangroves.
