Fun and Adventure
Beach Lounging
Chairs can be bought for the day for about 100 pesos anywhere on the beach.
Sports and Tours
Cabarete is a great place to learn new sports. We have listed some sports centers below.
Iguana Mama
809-571-0908
DREAM volunteers are encouraged to stop by and introduce themselves to the mountain biking and ecological tour operators Iguana Mama. It is the best adventure tour outfit in Cabarete and they offer everything from mountain bike trips, snorkeling and cascading waterfall tours. They are located near the center of Cabarete next to Ojo/Lax. They also have information on other sports centers in Cabarete. A 10% discount is offered to DREAM volunteers.
Kite-surfing
The skies of Cabarete on a windy day are full of colorful kites, a sight that brings many tourists into town even if they have no interest in the sport. Spend 5 minutes watching the kiteboarders at Kite Beach and it is hard not to run to the nearest kite school and enroll in lessons. Until you see the prices. First lessons run $300-450 US (usually a three-day package) and after that equipment rental and/or purchase is expensive. If you simply must try, check out one of the kite schools below:
Laurel Eastman 809-571-0564
Kite Excite 809-571-9509
Fly High 809-571-0463
Ali’s Surf Camp 809-571-0733
*If you are really interested and on a budget, you can take classes from any kiteboarders on the beach for cheap.
Surfing
Surfing is done 10 minutes out of town (by car) at Playa Encuentro. Volunteers can take a guagua and walk down to the beach to the many surfing booths lining the shore. Unlike kiteboarding, surfing is relatively inexpensive. Further discounts are sometimes possible by mentioning DREAM affiliation. Prices vary.
No Work Team 809-571-0820
Del Mar 809-360-2576
Take-Off 123 809-963-SURF
Windsurfing
Cost wise, windsurfing is in between kiteboarding and surfing, but is perhaps the most convenient sport to try for Cabarete residents. Done right in the midst of things, the ideal conditions for windsurfing on Cabarete Bay is one of the principal reasons that made Cabarete a tourist destination. Prices run from $25-35 for an hour lesson, rental rates are cheaper.
Carib Wind Center 809-571-0640
Nathalie Simon 809-571-0848
Vela 809-571-0805
White Water Rafting & Kayaking
Aventuras del Caribe 809-242-0395
