• How fit do I need to be?

  You don’t have to be that fit to kiteboard. Compared to other water/wind-sports, kiteboarding is relatively easy to learn! The instructor will teach you how to control the kite, which is more about the technique rather than the fitness. However, the fitter you are, the easier it gets. It is recommended to stretch before each session.

  Your instructors will make sure you have all the equipment and gear. Besides that, you will need:

  • • Clothing for 7 days in Cabarete

• Getting there and meeting location

  The Dominican Republic has several international airports that are well-serviced by charters from both Europe and the Americas. To get to Cabarete, most people fly into Puerto Plata International Airport just half an hour away. Santo Domingo and Punta Cana are further away but many charter flights fly to these airports at very interesting prices so sometimes it can make sense to fly into one of these airports and organize a taxi to from the airport to Cabarete. From there, you can take a taxi or a shuttle to your accommodation.

  Once you and your guide agree on the details of your itinerary, your guide will suggest the best place to meet.
