Send Flowers to Samaná, Dominican Republic

Between January and March, humpback whales gather in Samaná Bay to breed, and the small town of Santa Bárbara de Samaná becomes the departure point for the boats that go out to watch them. For the rest of the year it is a quiet provincial capital on a hillside above the water, with a palm-lined malecón, a long footbridge that links small cays in the bay, and Cayo Levantado just offshore.

The town has an unusual history: many families descend from free African Americans who settled here in the nineteenth century, and English surnames and Protestant churches are still common. Deliveries go to homes on the steep streets above the seafront, to guesthouses and to hotels around the bay. Send flowers to Samaná before 11:00 am local time, Monday to Saturday, for same-day delivery in town; addresses further out on the peninsula can need an extra day. The Dominican Republic has no Sunday flower deliveries. For hotel guests, add the reservation name.
