The Dominican Republic is a large island in the Caribbean - south of Florida and near to Cuba and Puerto Rico. Cabarete is on the North coast of the island, 20 minutes drive from POP International Airport. The North coast faces the warm Atlantic Ocean, and is in perfect position to catch the famous "trade winds", the same winds that also blow in Hawaii.

Fly to Puerto Plata airport (POP) and take a taxi 20 minutes to Cabarete, if you let us know your flight details we can arrange a taxi to pick you up and bring you directly to the Caracol Kiteboarding Center.
There are other airports in the Dominican Republic, like Santo Domingo (SDQ). If you arrive in Santo Domingo you take a taxi to the bus station then hop on Caribe Tours to Sousa, about 4.5 hours and 5$. From Sosua hop into taxi and 15 minutes later you are in the heart of Cabarete.

Our club is very easy to find from both the beach and the road. For sure the easiest is from the beach. If you are standing in Cabarete just head to your left (downwind) until you see a big red windsurfing board sticking out of the sand and a nice wooden deck.. there we are!

From the road from the airport you will pass Kitebeach, when you see the signs for Tropicoco Restaurant and Caracol Hotel you are almost there.. pass this entrance and turn left on the dirt road (watch out for the goats!) and you will end up right at the beach club entrance!

Once in Cabarete a car is not necessary. The common form of transportation is on the back of a motorcycle taxi, called a motoconcho. These trips are exciting and inexpensive. For one, two, or even three people the moto is 10 pesos in the day and 20 at night. Taxis are also readily available, around Cabarete they are 60 pesos. Walking is also a feasible option. From Laurel Eastman Kiteboarding you can walk on the beach during the day to town, in the evening it is advised to take a taxi or motoconcho home.
