Cabarete Bay Kitesurf Spot in Imbert

Cabarete is located solidly in the Caribbean trade winds, it's one of the reasons it's become such a popular kitesurfing holiday destination. Due to the thermal wind and the trade winds it generally offers over 250 days of kitesurfing per year (including hydrofoil days of course!), but the main kitesurfing wind season is from around May until August. The wind then will average somewhere from 16-30 knots and is pretty stable with the thermal helping keep things consistent. From December to February is the main tourist season and also when the biggest swells roll through if you are looking for waves or a mix of surf and kite action! From December until April the wind averages around 13-24 knots, so a little bit less windy than summer but still plenty of kitesurfing to be done! The only real "off season" in Cabarete is October and November where the chance of rain increases, and the wind drops off. You can still be lucky sometimes but it's mainly frontal winds at this time of year.

Cabarete Bay has plenty of other activities to offer apart from just being a kitesurf spot. Take a horse-riding tour on the sandy beaches and explore the location, scuba dive and explore the magical aquatic ecosystem just below the surface of the water, or take a trip a bit further afield to explore more of what the Dominican Republic has to offer.

For some adventure on a down day you can visit the incredible Blue Lagoon for a swimming experience like no other. This lagoon is famous for being bottomless, so hang around the place, enjoy the view and the refresh all those kitesurfing aches and pains!

After the sunset, this place turns into a party paradise with neon lights and groovy EDM tunes. Generally, Friday nights will offer you the ultimate nightlife experience with amazing seafood and drinks. The place is really diverse when it comes to cuisines, and you will find almost everything ranging from German meat dishes to Italian food.

The closest airport is Gregorio Luperon airport, Puerto Plata (POP), and from there it's a short 25-30 minute ride to Cabarete. You can rent a car from the airport if you want to drive yourself during your trip which is a great option, or just organise a taxi to get to your kite accommodation (the price is going to depend on your haggling skills but expect to pay $15-25!). In Cabarete itself you can walk most places and taxis are reasonably priced, or you can hit the road yourself in a car or on a scooter, just be extra careful when driving as road rules aren't what you might be used to!
