Already in Cabarete? Spend a weekend on the windiest, flattest water in the Dominican Republic: transport there and back, two nights, meals, a downwinder or boat trip and a beach night.

El Morro, seven uninhabited cays, salt flats, a third of the country's mangroves and the house where Martí and Gómez signed the 1895 Manifesto. Here is what to do in Monte Cristi — and what is changing there.

The closest airport to Cabarete is Puerto Plata (POP), about 18 km and 30 minutes away. Here is how Santiago, Santo Domingo and Punta Cana compare, plus taxis, Uber and transfers.

Playa Buen Hombre is a quiet kitesurf beach and lagoon in Monte Cristi province, Dominican Republic, about 3 hours from Puerto Plata airport and 3 to 4 hours from Cabarete.

Your first kitesurfing holiday is decided before you book: the water, the trip length, the season, where you sleep and who you travel with. Here is how to choose it right.

Which airport should you fly into, how long is the drive and should you rent a car or book a transfer? Everything you need to know before booking your flight to Buen Hombre.
