Cayo Levantado or Bacardi Island, Samana, Dominican Republic

Also known as Bacardi Island because of a Bacardi commercial filmed here in the 1970s, the small, picturesque island of Cayo Levantado sits just five kilometers (three miles) from Samaná Bay, and boasts brilliant white sand and palm-fringed beaches. Boat taxis depart regularly from the Samaná port on Avenida Marina, bringing visitors daily to this small island. Spend the day swimming, sunbathing, kayaking or paddle boarding, and enjoy fresh fish on the public side of Cayo Levantado. You can also overnight at the on-site luxury hotel, occupying the other half of the island. Note that there may be restrictions for visits on days when large cruise ships dock off the island.

Hello @PuntosRD ,

Thank you for sharing this magnificent place! I wish I were there now. However, I am just collecting ideas where to go next after we are allowed to travel once again. The Dominican Republic is a must-see for sure. Do you use a professional camera for your photos? I’ve noticed that most of your posts have great photos.
