Health Tips for Visitors in Samaná
Practical things to know before and during your stay on the Samaná Peninsula.
Only drink bottled water
Tap water in Samaná is not safe for drinking. Always use sealed bottled water. Avoid ice from unknown sources — gastrointestinal infections are common among tourists.
Whale-watching season (Jan–Mar)
Boat tours to see the humpback whales are a highlight, but seasickness is common on choppier days. Take precautions if you’re prone to motion sickness before heading out.
Use insect repellent
Dengue is present in the region. Use DEET-based repellent outdoors, particularly in the evenings around Las Terrenas and inland excursions.
Sun and heat exposure
Wear light clothing, stay hydrated, and apply reef-safe SPF 50+ sunscreen — heatstroke and dehydration are common complaints among visitors spending long days on the beach.
Carry a passport copy
You’ll need a valid ID to purchase prescription medication at Dominican pharmacies. Keep a digital copy on your phone as backup to your physical document.
Official health guidance
For official travel health information for the Dominican Republic, consult the CDC travel advisory or your country’s foreign affairs portal before your trip.
