Fodor's Expert Review Whale Museum & Nature Center
Santa Barbara de Samana
Museum/Gallery
This tiny museum is dedicated to the mighty mammals of the sea. Samaná Bay is part of one of the largest marine mammal sanctuaries in the world and is a center for whale-watching during the winter migration of humpback whales. The CEBSE (Center for Conservation and Ecodevelopment of Samaná Bay and its Environment) manages this facility, which features a 40-foot female humpback skeleton. Information in English is available at the entrance.
