Best Extreme Sporting Locations

[Borri]

I really want to check out the extreme sporting of DR.

where should I go?

the buggies sound good, n i keep hearing about parasailing, but how about hang gliding n other such activities?
:ermm:

Do a google search for "extreme sports+Dominican Republic" without quote marks and you will get a lot of hits. Check them over to see what is available and where.

Check out http://www.dr1.com/directories/tourism/baiguate.shtml

These people hosted the Marlboro Adventure Team (extreme sports) and are hosting the Mountain Bike competitions for the Pan Am Games.

Parasailing, I believe, is offered at major beaches. You can book at your hotel. I believe they have it in Punta Cana and Playa Dorada. Probably some other board member could confirm this.

thanks for the link. this is a more family orientated service it seems. it wouldn't be the right one for me, but I'm going to check it out nonetheless.

Try http://drpure.com this is by far the best site for extreme sports in the DR.

 

[Borri]

cool
has anyone ever "kitesurfed" at Cabarete before?

 

[Ken]

Haven't tried it, but it is very popular. Cabarete is one of the best locations in the world. The top performers of Europe were there for the winter training for the summer circuit.

Check this out http://www.kitexcite.com./

Canyoning out of Cabarete

Try the canyoning out of Cabarete - we hear the full day trip with abseils and rappelling is great fun if a little strenuous! Ask at Vela as I've forgotten who's doing it at the moment! (Silly old sod that I am).

cabarete

i keep hearing great things about cabarete. im going to look into it further, thank you

 

[sunnyvillas]

Cabarete is considered to be the windsurfing capital and it's a real cool town with lost of bars and parties on the streets. If you are considering of satying there and need a great place, do not hesitate to drop me aline and I will be glad to help you out.
Have fun in DR it is a great place to vacation. I spend over 6 month down there and loved it.
