Playa Real, Juan Dolio, San Pedro de Macoris province, Dominican Republic.
Cayo Levantado is a small island off the city of Samana in the Dominican Republic. We took the Whale Samana tour, watching Humpback whales. You can pay an extra $5 and they will take you to this island on the way back to Samana. Beautiful!
