  • by

In the first months of the year thousands of humpback whales gather in the Samana Bay offering a unique show that is repeated every year in the Dominican Republic. These whales, also called Yubartas, go from mid-January to the end of March to the warm waters of the Samana Bay, in the north of the country, to mate or to have their baby.
