North Coast
Cabarete Private Transportation
Cabarete is the country's wind and water-sports town: kiteboarding on the bay, surf at Playa Encuentro, and a single main street where the beach bars, schools and rental shops all sit shoulder to shoulder. Its visitors travel with equipment, which changes what a transfer needs to be.
So we ask what you are bringing. Tell us the number and size of board or kite bags with your booking and we assign a vehicle class with the space for them, driven privately to your hotel, villa or rental — flight monitored, meeting point confirmed in advance, one fixed quote before payment. Travelers rate us #1 for transportation in the Dominican Republic on Tripadvisor.
August in Cabarete: highs around 30.8°C / 87°F, lows around 25.1°C / 77°F, typically drier than the rest of the year.
Get a quoteWhat Cabarete actually is
Cabarete is the wind capital: kiteboarding on the bay, surf at Playa Encuentro, and one main street where the schools, rental shops and beach bars sit shoulder to shoulder. The crowd is younger and more alternative than the resort coast, and many guests stay for weeks rather than days.
Almost everyone arrives with equipment, and that changes what a transfer has to be — the number and size of board and kite bags decides the vehicle, so we ask before we assign one.
What Cabarete is known for
- Kiteboarding and windsurfing on Cabarete Bay
- Surf at Playa Encuentro
- Surf-town nightlife and schools
- Board and kite luggage handled
Which airport should you fly into for Cabarete?
Puerto Plata (POP) is closest to Cabarete, but its limited schedule means many travelers cannot get the flight they need into it.
Santiago (STI) is the airport most Cabarete visitors can actually book, and it is one direct private transfer from the beachfront. Santo Domingo (SDQ) works when neither is available. All three are served, so pick the flight and tell us where it lands.
