How long does tender take?

Question for anyone that has experienced the ship's tender ride into the pier. How long does it take? Trying to figure out if it's worth it to get off the ship.

Samana? Assuming ships all drop anchor in the same place - 10 minutes max.

I just came back from a cruise that visited Samana, and the tender ride was about 20-25 mins each way, all-in.

To Cayo or into the town of Samana?

I estimate about 10 minutes from leaving the ship to dock at Cayo.

I know it was longer into town.

Into town.

I did a tour with Terry; did not visit Cayo.
