What To Expect?

In this activity, you’ll set out in the hand-crafted canoes, just as the Taínos did. You’ll hear many of the sounds that marked their connection with nature: the call of cranes, the dip of crabs into the water, and the gentle lapping of waves against natural rock formations. The arches of the mangrove roots will remind you of cathedrals, and indeed, the Taínos (although they didn’t have churches) were deeply spiritual. Once you’ve set out with our guide, you’ll enjoy the rich variety of birds, reptiles, and fish of the mangroves. Bedazzled at the sparkle of the waves winking in the morning light, the mountains of Samaná in the distance, and the emerald green of the swaying palms.

Next, you’ll be able to visit some of the caves that were especially important to the Taínos. They traveled from cave to cave visit wise men, take shelter from hurricanes, and as meeting points with other tribes. Once you’re in the caves, you’ll be able to appreciate the silence and the hallowed aura of the space. You’ll see some of the rock carvings, called petroglyphs, that represent their deities and spirits. Finally, you’ll be able to taste some of the same tropical fruit that Taínos gathered before you head back to the meeting point.

In this tour, our expert guides will describe the many uses of the canoe, how the Taínos lived before the time of Columbus, and how the mangrove forest is essential for the health of the environment.

This tour was more than just a sightseeing trip; it was a journey of discovery. Our guide was a master storyteller, weaving together historical facts, cultural insights, and personal anecdotes to create a captivating narrative. We weren't just passively observing; we were actively engaged, asking questions, sharing our perspectives, and connecting with the other members of our group. It was a truly collaborative and enriching experience, and I left feeling inspired and enlightened.

What struck me most about this tour was the guide's genuine connection to the land. He shared stories passed down through generations, painting a vivid picture of the region's history and its people. It wasn't just about reciting facts from a textbook; it was about sharing a deeply personal and heartfelt narrative. We visited a family-run vineyard where we learned about traditional winemaking techniques and tasted some exceptional wines. It was an experience that transcended the typical tourist trail, leaving me with a profound sense of appreciation for the region's rich cultural heritage.
