Guys you really have to visit bahia de las aguilas in the south

[@FelipeFermin]

Apart from Bahia de las Aguilas, which you should definitely mark as one of your next destinations, there’s also a few others spots that might actually top Las Terrenas (which is pretty hard, IMO): 1) Miches (which is poised to explode as the new main tourism destination, considering the investments that are being made from mega corporations). Over there, look for playa Esmeralda, playa Costa Esmeralda, and playa El Limón. 2) Playa La Ensenada and Punta Rucia which are located west from Cabarete / Puerto Plata. From Punta Rucia you can take a quick boat to Cayo Arena, which is a sand bank that makes you wish you didn’t forget your snorkeling gear. 3) And going far more northwest, you can find Playa Buen Hombre (best kept secret of kitesurfers) and even farther you’ll find Montecristi, specifically Playa Juan de Bolaños. You should make those 4 your next destinations. Also, while in Las Terrenas, check for the hidden gems that you can find in Las Galeras, such as Playa Madama.

[@DelightfulTravellers]

I am a Dominican watching and loving your videos from the USA. What I love the most is how you present our greatness and shortcomings with a lot of respect. Stay safe and keep up the good work.

[@DelightfulTravellers]

Wow, thank you!

[@waschell1]

This was exactly the video I was looking for because I was trying to decide between the two locales for possible property myself and you addressed pretty much everything down to even the size of the waves which is a consideration for me. I love big waves and wind so it's Cabarete for me! Thanks so much for your continued upbeat and informative content❤️😊 congrats on 100k!

[@FelipeFermin]

Las Terrenas becomes extremely crowded starting “Holy Wednesday” (starting April 13th this year). Usually lots and lots of people from Santo Domingo prefer spending the Easter Vacation over there. Just letting you guys know, so you don’t get scared seeing so much people when it is usually not crowded at all in Las Terrenas. That is why when I go over with my family, We try to avoid those days and just spend a few days BEFORE Wednesday / Thursday. If I see you next week, I’ll definitely say hello. Love your content, by the way.

Thank you for such a great honest reflection on Cabarete , the north shore and the magic island and its people. Living here greatfull since 32 years doing watersports, i can only confirm your passion and love ❤ for Dominican Republic and its people.

[@DelightfulTravellers]

This place has completely swept us off our feet Marcus. The north coast is one of our favourite places on the planet 😀 Thanks for watching - Trevor

[@kenandcoreen7179]

This video was so well done, and very informative. I can see that choosing where to stay would not be an easy one for us. The beaches in Las Terrenas really are gorgeous. I love being able to swim in the ocean, and would be out there forever. Also love the European vibe. BUT, I also love how Cabarete is so walkable. We also enjoy getting to know locals, and seems like that would be more likely in Cabarete. Dining with our feet in the sand - BONUS! You've given us a lot to think about should we ever make it to the DR. I'm thinking a couple weeks in each would be the best way to go! Thanks for a great watch! - Coreen

[@DelightfulTravellers]

Pros and Cons to each right? 🤗 The good news is they are both just 3 hours from each other - Anna

[@worldnomaderic]

Great video. My wife and I spent last Spring/Summer in Cabarete and visited Las Terrenas for 2 weeks. We are in Cab. again for this Spring/Summer. I can say this video is very accurate. If we were not big kiters, I'd give the edge to Las Terrenas. Much prettier beaches and great vibe, but you can't beat the wind in Cabarete! It truly is a great country. If you go, don't be afraid to get out of town and see the mountains, get to know the people and help keep the beaches clean by picking up trash when you can, especially your own :)

[@LesvoyagesdeBD]

Very nice video 👍. It's a beautiful island 🤩🤩

[@pilsatortube]

Congratz on the 100K :) well deserved! For me its a 10:0 win for Las Terrenas ;) nothing beats the beaches and lush tropical nature and natural Palm Trees everywhere! Plus the Quad lifestyle is a dream to be experienced... on an work related note: Las Terrenas will get Star Link by next year latest. Which will give it great internet.

[@joeo8820]

Thanks for answering my question a month ago about the best spot for Kite Surfing. I did go to Kite Beach for Kite surfing lessons and partied in Cabarete for 2 weeks. Ate local and treated my Kite instructor and staffs with bottle service at Ojo nightclub on weekends. I had a great time and I’m looking forward to returning for 3 weeks in December. Thanks again.

Cabarete wins for me. My 3 "W"s are: Warm, Walkable, and Water. I stayed in Sosúa for a month and a half a few years back and it was a great experience. I stayed in Casa Linda. My only issue was that right outside of Casa Linda, it wasn't very walkable. It would've been nice to have some sidewalks in the community and on the outside that connects to the beach. This may be in the works, but right now it appears that Cabarete is more developed in this area. Great overview! Thank you.

Tip for anyone thinking about going to Las Terrenas, avoid going to Las Terrenas during semana santa(spring break), there will be a lot of locals from the city because of all the concerts they have during that time of year.

In terms of the water, I suggest getting a water filter. The type used in camping that filter out any type of water that can make water drinkable for emergency use, for instance. Do your own due diligence for that. Amazon has a ton of filters.

[@mikel87]

Cabarete wins for me. Is closer to airports, has everything you need within 5km. Surfing, kiteboarding, nightlife, golf course, everything is also more reasonably priced. Cabarete is still underrated and still so much potential there. Ive been to LT its worth the visit, everything is more scattered there are different beach locations, more roads.

Buying a property in Cabarete because it has more to offer but to be honest I dont like the beaches there. I LOVEEEEEE the beaches in Las Terrenas, the color of the water, the sand, how calm it is. I can go in the water with my floating and just relax for 1hr while having a drink on my hand. In Cabarete's beaches you have to wrestle with the waves to get in and out.

You definitely nailed this video. I have to say I only disagreed with you on 3 categories. The restaurant’s in Cabarete or much more diverse, better food and much cheaper. Here in Las Terrenas the Restaurants are basically all the same Pizza ,Pastas and Fish. Caberate has every type of Restaurant and the food is much better and cheaper. The other category’s I disagreed with is the vibe and activities People are much more friendly in Cabarete and downtown has much more entertainment. Cabarete has surfing,kiting ,a sailing club Paddle Boarding club.Swimming at kite beach and downtown. You can comfortably walk for miles on a flat beach. You can go tubing on the river and 15 minutes away in Sosua there is a Monkey Jungle ,scuba diving and many more Restaurants. You can also experience the Blue moon Restaurant and Wilson’s Cabarete also has a great Gym,Pool hall and Sports bar. I lived in Cabarete for 3 years. I absolutely loved it. I have been living in Las Terrenas for a year now and the only thing I find better are the beaches.🤷‍♀️

@@DelightfulTravellers I was sure you had the Restaurant category tied and the vibe and activities better in Las Terrenas. Maybe I missed that! Great video!

[@wilsonjp23]

I agree with you. However, the beaches are not just better, they are night and day. And once you start venturing out beyond the boundaries of las Terrenas and explore the rest of Samana, it's a whole different ball game. The peninsula of Samana (and its neighboring small islands) have so many paradisaic beaches that It would take you at least a few months to explore all of them . Every time you find a new one you say to yourself that that is it, this has to be the best one. Yet, after turning around the corner (either via driving, hiking, or boating) the next one presents itself and it is just as, or more, beautiful than the previous one. So I'd say that if your priority is having access to beautiful and exotic beaches, Las Terrenas is going to be hard to beat for most of the world.

We had 5-7 people with us at any time, and apart from me, every single person had stomach issues at some point in their trip… Some just had the runs, and others had vomiting too, and my sister even had a bit of a fever for 24 hours or so (I think hers was food poisoning). We were super careful about what we ate… we never drank or brushed with tap water, and we stayed away from uncooked veg at restaurants.

[@SimcoeAce]

There is a very clear difference between Cabarete and Las Terrenas in that Cabarete has grown up around the windsurfing and kitesurfing scene. It has a younger, sportier vibe and the beaches are big, more open and windswept with rougher water and waves. Las Terrenas feels more intimate with beautiful, more secluded feeling beaches. One thing I'm surprised you didn't mention is shopping ... and groceries in particular. Cabarete has a great, large supermarket in the centre of town, with additional, very good supermarkets not far away in Sosua. Fruit and vegetables are cheap and good in the DR. Also good chicken and sea food. Anything not grown in the DR tends to be quite expensive.
