Road Trip To Santo Domingo, Dominican Republic (episode 20)

[@Distant-Horizon]

The Dominican Republic looks so unspoiled, by the trappings of 'civilization'. Fun times on your machete walk, waterfall adventure, cenote tour, and dinner in the cave. The river water in the National Park was clear as a lens. You folks really know how to road trip!🎉

[@SailingBananaPancakes]

That’s why the Dominican Republic was our favorite country we visited. It’s still untouched and absolutely stunning🤩

[@Maloy7800]

7:45 Looks like New Orleans... before a hurricane.

[@SailingBananaPancakes]

Oh I can imagine. I’ve never been there always wanted to!

[@shanealberts414]

Awesome keep them coming love this 👊👊👊👊👊👊

[@SailingBananaPancakes]

Working on it! We love that you’re loving them & we appreciate your comments💗

[@thomasmiller3648]

The waterfall area was very picturesque. It was beautiful! You guys are lucky to have been able to visit such beautiful areas. When I see secluded waterfalls and pools like that I think how nice it would be to just strip down to nothing and take a cool dip.

[@SailingBananaPancakes]

Absolutely! We were shocked no one was there as that was the most beautiful waterfall we had visited in Dominican Republic. I agree, take it off and take a dip!

[@FrostyBud777]

The Food and Cave was awesome and looks cool and deliscious!

[@SailingBananaPancakes]

It was a really cool experience for sure!

[@edkleinstuber2119]

another great adventure. thanks for bringing us along. Ed

[@SailingBananaPancakes]

Thanks Ed! It was such an awesome city to explore🌃

[@minibx6659]

Fun fact: The Cathedral that you visited in Santo Domingo is in fact the oldest cathedral in the continent. Lots of history in that city for sure .

[@SailingBananaPancakes]

Yes we learned that! I thought it was super cool to visit and see so many old paintings etc.

[@RichSanDiego1969]

Hey guys, I enjoyed the vlog. I hope you guys are having a great weekend

[@SailingBananaPancakes]

I’m so glad Rich! Thanks for watching we always appreciate it. We hope you also have a fantastic weekend!

[@FrankJamger]

We're really exploring the tropical terrain here, not just doing the resorts. Love your road trips and hikes that penetrate the jungle. Even going underground- those cenotes are amazing! If there's a waterfall around, we know the fun-lovin' _Pancakes_ crew will find it. A different kind an adventure required to get the laundry done! An idyllic river indeed at 27:38, so pretty. Sounds like we're heading up into the trees for the next episode.

[@SailingBananaPancakes]

I think I need to have you write out my descriptions, your recaps are lovely. We sure do love a waterfall haha! Headed to the jungle next!

It's so wonderful to visit all of these stunning places with you! Love watching the kids growing up and Steve and Kami handling it all with such patience and grace!

[@SailingBananaPancakes]

So glad you’re with us man. We always appreciate your kind comments.💗

Oooo we need one of those

[@Baylessfishes]

@ my family won’t understand me leaving. I’m having second thoughts! lol. Happy trails y’all!

[@jamessandman3708]

That was amazing!! Where do I start? Your family is as beautiful as the whole island and certainly better than that ArnB! 😂 You guys are making such great memories and are so much fun! Thank you for sharing with us. The tour of the island and airplane footage alone was fantastic, picturesque and educational, such a beautiful place. The karaoke was hilarious but Malia's dance was fire for the win!!! 🔥🔥 I loved the hikes, the waterfalls, the caverns, the dinners, all in all it was an outstanding video!! Kami, you don't need to worry about those "cougars" hitting on Steve, you are sumoking hotter than any of those wanabees! 🤣😂💞💥 Thanks for taking us along, the boys get taller and the girls get more beautiful with every video! ⛵⛵⛵

I look at all those steps to get DOWN to the Waterfall and just think..... but.... you have to walk back UP all of them badboys! LOL

[@SailingBananaPancakes]

It’s true! But weirdly enough after being crammed on a boat we never minded having to walk major distances.

[@Sgt_MoDog_USMC]

@@SailingBananaPancakes Yep, I get it. Nice to get out there and stretch those leg muscles.

[@GlennCrawford]

Love the videos and the scenery. How long ago were these videos filmed?

[@SailingBananaPancakes]

Thanks! This was a year and a half ago. Pretty long time but I’m making these episodes before we head out again for season 2

[@Gasguzlr68]

1:11 Nice Karver 😆

[@SailingBananaPancakes]

Right?🤦‍♀️ shut it kid😂 As embarrassed as I get sometimes, I like to leave it all in to keep it real. Hahap

[@Gasguzlr68]

@SailingBananaPancakes One of the many reasons (authentic) that y'alls videos are great. Thanks for sharing your adventures.

[@HarrysHappenings]

I came across your channel because I am a big fan of Eleana and Riley on SLV . You are slowly learning all the skills which look really daunting when you first set out. Selling up and buying a catamaran with school age children took a lot of courage. Would you do some video explaining why you even thought of leaving normality? I don't know how old your boys are, but besides the adventure side of things, how did they feel about giving up their mates and sports? I think a little more back story would be fascinating. Well done

[@SailingBananaPancakes]

I love this idea! I will for sure put something together. Our first episode sort of talks about a lot of our thought process if you check out our playlist. SLV was a huge inspiration to us when we were planning our adventure. Thank you for stopping by and for taking the time to comment such kind thoughts.

Not yet, but we would love to some day!

[@HarrysHappenings]

I have seen some American families channels and I have been appalled by the fast food diet most seem to accept as normal. What is really good for your family is the fish diet and a healthy lifestyle. You certainly are not the typical American family now!!

[@SailingBananaPancakes]

Yeah sadly the United States is known for its obesity statistics. Health is very important in our household for sure

[@Sgt_MoDog_USMC]

Momma should have offered the Corrupt Police Man that pulled you over one of her Saucy Carribean Dances and you'd only have had to pay him $10 !!!! Now you know for next time!!!!! LOL 💃💃💃

Why didn’t I think of that?🤪😅😝 the policeman would be like “excuse me have you seen the women of the DR? Stop doing body rolls and get in the car”😂

That doesn't look like a hike. It looks like LOST. Steve doing the right hand search or something?

Always, he just likes the adventure and doesn’t mind the “lost” part. The rest of us….not so much

[@fredvloo]

Not the best camera you are using and your camerawork could use some pro training. Stop zooming in so much to start with. Your videos could have been so much nicer.

[@SailingBananaPancakes]

Yes fully aware of that🥰 At the time of filming we were unaware that would we put these into KZbin videos for our kids otherwise we totally would have purchased better equiptment. Thanks for the feedback and stopping by!🤩🤙
