We were in Samana in 2008 - We were going to walk to town and walk around, but ended on a "taxi tour" with a driver from the Samana Tourism Bureau. It was scary at first (language barriers), but ended up being one of the best excurstions we've ever taken. He took us to friend, who took us on a long, but well worth it hike though the jungle to a beautiful waterfall (not the one you have to see by horseback). He showed us fruit trees, flora and fauna on the way, and the waterfall was breathtaking. He then told us other places he could take us, so we went to the beach, and a few other site seeing places. He was a wonderful tour guide, and was very informative. I'm not sure but check out the local tourisum bureau on the internet for more info. At that time they were trying to build themselves up. It is not a built up port, but the true local history and way of live was awesome! I think in the end we paid $80 dollars, but it was WELL worth it.
