La Boca Del Diablo — Attraction in Samana

Amazing, beautiful scary and loud natural blow hole.

We rented a scooter ($20 USD) from Samaná and took us about 50 min to get to the blow hole.

The road, most of the section is paved but pot hole here and there. If you drive slowly, on a scooter, it is not a problem, at the last 600m to the blow hole, you will see a mine on the left hand side, and then the road becomes like a “hiking” path if you know what I meant. We still went through it with the scooter but just have to take extra caution and drive slowly, otherwise we will bottom out our 150cc scooter.

Shoes are most important as the rocks are sharp around the blow hole. There are some farm animals on the road like goats, pig, cow, horse.

There are few to almost no other visitors...

I had a good experience just getting there as I love traveling through the country 4×4 or AWD make it easy, but it's still possible for other vehicles to get here just take your time. I actually loved the different scenery on the way there and it was worth the trip for me even though I wasn't able to see a big splash of water spraying out the sound and the amount of air being pushed through the hole is very powerful and amazing. I also ask for everyone to respect this beautiful island by taking your trash with you from this area it was pretty clean, but myself and a few other guys that were visiting picked up any trash...

It's a nice experience. Even if the tide is not the right one, the sound of the wind going through the cave is very shocking. I strongly recommend a 4x4 vehicle or at least with 8+ inches of ground clearance. I also strongly recommend to let the police go with you if you don't go on a tour or with experienced guides. They are always in the area as far as I know. They have weapons, nothing to be scared of, just make sure they are with Politur, which is the Tourist Police. They should have a complete uniform (hat, white shirt and blue pants) and an ID. They were very polite and calmly waited for us to enjoy the place...
