Learn to Surf in Dominican Republic

The accommodation is small in scale and clean and offers great value facilities in beautiful surroundings near the surf beach of Encuentro.

This is a very rustic experience but that's the point of this surfing vacation - it draws you into the surfing lifestyle in the Caribbean. This really is a classic surfer's destination; expect surfer dudes and girls complete with Volkswagen camper vans, just don't forget to pack your Beach Boys greatest hits CD. The memories you'll take away from your time in Dominican Republic are priceless. Widely regarded by travel insiders as the perfect place to experience the best of Caribbean surfing culture, the region allows you to get under the skin of this incredible country. Adventurous days filled with river, jungle and ocean exploration are rounded off with warm tropical nights of local revelry.

Stay just outside the buzzing town of Encuentro where there is a relaxed beach enclave offering a superb white sandy beach which is fantastic for surfing and kite surfing with friendly locals who will welcome you into their family. The spot is beautiful, not crowded and the people are friendly and the atmosphere is nice and relaxed.
