A walk down the jungle trails to a mini zoo complete with iguanas, snakes, turtles, North American Crocodiles and ravens adds to the fun and excitement.

In late January through March of each year, thousands of North Atlantic Humpback Whales migrate to the Samana Bay region of the North Coast of the Dominican Republic several hours east of Sosua.
