Apart from Bahia de las Aguilas, which you should definitely mark as one of your next destinations, there’s also a few others spots that might actually top Las Terrenas (which is pretty hard, IMO): 1) Miches (which is poised to explode as the new main tourism destination, considering the investments that are being made from mega corporations). Over there, look for playa Esmeralda, playa Costa Esmeralda, and playa El Limón. 2) Playa La Ensenada and Punta Rucia which are located west from Cabarete / Puerto Plata. From Punta Rucia you can take a quick boat to Cayo Arena, which is a sand bank that makes you wish you didn’t forget your snorkeling gear. 3) And going far more northwest, you can find Playa Buen Hombre (best kept secret of kitesurfers) and even farther you’ll find Montecristi, specifically Playa Juan de Bolaños. You should make those 4 your next destinations. Also, while in Las Terrenas, check for the hidden gems that you can find in Las Galeras, such as Playa Madama.
I am a Dominican watching and loving your videos from the USA. What I love the most is how you present our greatness and shortcomings with a lot of respect. Stay safe and keep up the good work.
This was exactly the video I was looking for because I was trying to decide between the two locales for possible property myself and you addressed pretty much everything down to even the size of the waves which is a consideration for me. I love big waves and wind so it's Cabarete for me! Thanks so much for your continued upbeat and informative content❤️😊 congrats on 100k!
Las Terrenas becomes extremely crowded starting “Holy Wednesday” (starting April 13th this year). Usually lots and lots of people from Santo Domingo prefer spending the Easter Vacation over there. Just letting you guys know, so you don’t get scared seeing so much people when it is usually not crowded at all in Las Terrenas. That is why when I go over with my family, We try to avoid those days and just spend a few days BEFORE Wednesday / Thursday. If I see you next week, I’ll definitely say hello. Love your content, by the way.
This video was so well done, and very informative. I can see that choosing where to stay would not be an easy one for us. The beaches in Las Terrenas really are gorgeous. I love being able to swim in the ocean, and would be out there forever. Also love the European vibe. BUT, I also love how Cabarete is so walkable. We also enjoy getting to know locals, and seems like that would be more likely in Cabarete. Dining with our feet in the sand - BONUS! You've given us a lot to think about should we ever make it to the DR. I'm thinking a couple weeks in each would be the best way to go! Thanks for a great watch! - Coreen
Congratz on the 100K :) well deserved! For me its a 10:0 win for Las Terrenas ;) nothing beats the beaches and lush tropical nature and natural Palm Trees everywhere! Plus the Quad lifestyle is a dream to be experienced... on an work related note: Las Terrenas will get Star Link by next year latest. Which will give it great internet.
Great video you two! I wake up every Sunday morning and watch you guys. You give a great perspective on the DR, but also on how to live your life to the fullest! Keep up the awesome work 😎
I want a mojito in Cabarete now ! Great video! I love your balance in gathering information with experiences about my beautiful country . Congratulations on 100k ! 🥰🥰
Great video. My wife and I spent last Spring/Summer in Cabarete and visited Las Terrenas for 2 weeks. We are in Cab. again for this Spring/Summer. I can say this video is very accurate. If we were not big kiters, I'd give the edge to Las Terrenas. Much prettier beaches and great vibe, but you can't beat the wind in Cabarete! It truly is a great country. If you go, don't be afraid to get out of town and see the mountains, get to know the people and help keep the beaches clean by picking up trash when you can, especially your own :)
Thank you for such a great honest reflection on Cabarete , the north shore and the magic island and its people. Living here greatfull since 32 years doing watersports, i can only confirm your passion and love ❤ for Dominican Republic and its people.
Thanks for answering my question a month ago about the best spot for Kite Surfing. I did go to Kite Beach for Kite surfing lessons and partied in Cabarete for 2 weeks. Ate local and treated my Kite instructor and staffs with bottle service at Ojo nightclub on weekends. I had a great time and I’m looking forward to returning for 3 weeks in December. Thanks again.
The truth is that cabarate is more develop than las terre as. But just wait a couple of years. You will see what I mean. Lots of development coming to El Cibao....of course that includes Las terrenas..just watch... love you guys....
First of all, love the videos and it was a amazing to see you walk into the restaurant that my girlfriend and I were eating at in Las Terrenas. My only quibble about your location rating between Las Terrenas VS Cabarete is that location maybe should be called ease to get to or accessibility
Cabarete wins for me. My 3 "W"s are: Warm, Walkable, and Water. I stayed in Sosúa for a month and a half a few years back and it was a great experience. I stayed in Casa Linda. My only issue was that right outside of Casa Linda, it wasn't very walkable. It would've been nice to have some sidewalks in the community and on the outside that connects to the beach. This may be in the works, but right now it appears that Cabarete is more developed in this area. Great overview! Thank you.
great Video. How about Noise-pollution... In general, the Dominican Republic is, in my experience, Super noisy. With Noisy Tailpipes from Moto-Conshos, and Cars with speakers the size of the backseat... Comparatively, how are both towns. (day-time and Night-time) thanks
Depend where you are. My town is very quiet except if you are in the main street with the transit. My house is 5 minutes away from the town so I do not hear no noise. We also love music so we do love noise Lol
Let's see if you keep your opinion when cabarete turn crazy with lots of uneducated people arriving next weekend from Santo Domingo and other places for the semana santa. That is one of their favorite places to pass semana santa and making other people life to turn into a hell for those days.
That's great, I'm dominican, I know what I'm talking about. Also, avoid to travel by highway during those days, cuz many people drink alcohol and drive, so, the accidents are common. If you are going to go to another place, do it before or after semana santa.
Guys, I’m back watching the DR series taking notes 😂. I’m going to attempt to use my southwest companion before it ends at the end of the month. DR crash course. Do you guys know of any care rental service that allows you to pick up in one location and drop off in another? You guys make it hard to skip Cabarete, Las Terrenas, or Punta Cana….
In terms of the water, I suggest getting a water filter. The type used in camping that filter out any type of water that can make water drinkable for emergency use, for instance. Do your own due diligence for that. Amazon has a ton of filters.
Please go back to DR 🎉did you guys know that DR has millions of rivers , amazing restaurants, caves , beaches it has it all why would you guys go so far Asia? I want to go to Asia but too expensive tooooo far
😃Not sure where I want to go, but one thing is SURE: I want to go back to DR asap!😃🌊🌞🌞🕊🦜But it might be next year..Meanwhile I enjoy so much your videos Anna and Trevor..👍😊💜
Hello, dear friends. I've seen you on Pho Bolsa TV, travelling on a cruise ship in Ha Long Bay, Vietnam. It's mindblowing. 💖 As a Vietnamese, I'd love to say hi and welcome you both to Vietnam. Have a great time in Vietnam, buddies. 💝
Not quite sure about Las Terrenas but there are plenty of vets in the north coast and all major cities in the DR. Service is quite inexpensive as well when you compare to the US.
Tip for anyone thinking about going to Las Terrenas, avoid going to Las Terrenas during semana santa(spring break), there will be a lot of locals from the city because of all the concerts they have during that time of year.
Another great informative video! Just returned from Punta Cana early this morning to a raging snow storm in Nova Scotia! Watching this from a hotel room in New Glasgow where we stopped on our way to CB after seeing too many cars and semi trucks off the road! Take me back to DR!
WOW !!! We have been binge watching your DR videos today and it is AWESOME to see the success of your channel the past few months. Truthfully as fellow Nova Scotians we discovered your channel in the middle of the pandemic looking for things to do in our Province and rediscovered your channel again looking for things to do in Cartagena on our upcoming 15 day Panama Canal cruise in 10 days !! Anyway, congrats on 100K subscribers. We will make time to watch your videos weekly going forward.
Another awesome video guys! Thanks! You hit all the important things but I definitely agree that everything just comes down to personal preference. My advice to anyone asking this question is Visit both! At the very least, one week in each spot but more is always better! You are bound to fall in love with one of them because I know I did! And it’s thanks to these guys here 👆🏼 And always watch out for bum splinters!! Lol
Unfortunately no! Had to get back to the grind in Ohio! I’m already ready to come back. I’ll just have to live vicariously through your videos for a little bit until my condo is done in LT lol
I am happy for then, but I hope this is not hoing to be a thinh, beacus that way I am here ,beacus I whant to see Sincerity not jus here about how many people the whant to sube * Thanks fore the information, and the nice vibe 💛🍀🌸🌹💜😎🌈🙏
Do you have any thoughts on how suitable the DR is as a retirment destination? I just reitred and am in Mexico but still ehcking out possible locations. I would not want to be in a ‘retirement community” per se, but are there places where retirees would feel comfortable without being in a retiree ghetto (as in some places I have been in in Mexico )
@@DelightfulTravellers thanks for the reply! Your videos are very well done. You get righ to the point, add a lot of practical info and do not bore people with rambling on or dragging out shots of one thing to fill time. I like the way you are so down to earth to well (fellow Canadian here).
I lost the comment I was going to post😔 so this is the short version Lolo You help me enormously to decide that Las terrenas it’s the place for me. No idea I was going to a place where I will be able to practice my French 💃🏿 Thank you!!! I enjoyed your videos. A la prochaine 👋
You definitely nailed this video. I have to say I only disagreed with you on 3 categories. The restaurant’s in Cabarete or much more diverse, better food and much cheaper. Here in Las Terrenas the Restaurants are basically all the same Pizza ,Pastas and Fish. Caberate has every type of Restaurant and the food is much better and cheaper. The other category’s I disagreed with is the vibe and activities People are much more friendly in Cabarete and downtown has much more entertainment. Cabarete has surfing,kiting ,a sailing club Paddle Boarding club.Swimming at kite beach and downtown. You can comfortably walk for miles on a flat beach. You can go tubing on the river and 15 minutes away in Sosua there is a Monkey Jungle ,scuba diving and many more Restaurants. You can also experience the Blue moon Restaurant and Wilson’s Cabarete also has a great Gym,Pool hall and Sports bar. I lived in Cabarete for 3 years. I absolutely loved it. I have been living in Las Terrenas for a year now and the only thing I find better are the beaches.🤷♀️
@@DelightfulTravellers I was sure you had the Restaurant category tied and the vibe and activities better in Las Terrenas. Maybe I missed that! Great video!
I agree with you. However, the beaches are not just better, they are night and day. And once you start venturing out beyond the boundaries of las Terrenas and explore the rest of Samana, it's a whole different ball game. The peninsula of Samana (and its neighboring small islands) have so many paradisaic beaches that It would take you at least a few months to explore all of them . Every time you find a new one you say to yourself that that is it, this has to be the best one. Yet, after turning around the corner (either via driving, hiking, or boating) the next one presents itself and it is just as, or more, beautiful than the previous one. So I'd say that if your priority is having access to beautiful and exotic beaches, Las Terrenas is going to be hard to beat for most of the world.
I'm so happy to see people like your visit my country you are awesome greats videos and by the way you know of my country that me I'm so glad to follow you thanks guys and have wonderful vacation in my DR God bless.
Maybe punta cana is planned but it will never be better than las Terrenas. Punta cana is always full of tourists and Haitians. Las Terrenas is more quiet, safe, the beaches don't have lots of people, the Bahia de Samaná and its protect Virgin areas are incomparable. You are saying they are "terrible" just because you're a fanatic
@@ingenieroobras3101 there is enough to live well, the peace of Las Terrenas is worth more than the infrastructure of a place that is always full of people. In las Terrenas you can go to the beach and find literally nobody else there.
So here is a question, something that’s important to me! Everyone is different, but when I travel, I don’t want to eat European or American food etc, I want the Local foods 100%. So in this case Caribbean foods! I was just in South Africa and it was so much of the foods we have in London where I live. How are your 2 locations in terms of local Caribbean foods in the restaurants?
Great video guys. Missy was wondering if Anna is wearing an evil eye? Missy is a gem hound these days, and sells online so she always has an eye on these things. Missy and I need to check out this area.
I've mentioned this in videos from the DR. I've injured my back in the past... that's it in a nutshell. I'm okay, but I have to be careful. I've skate boarded, snow boarded you name it so I'd luv to try kite surfing. But it's not in the cards - Trevor
Following all the videos I'm appreciative of both delightful locales. I know this -- if I made it down there I'd get me an ATV and tool around everywhere! Maybe all the time! 😎
Buying a property in Cabarete because it has more to offer but to be honest I dont like the beaches there. I LOVEEEEEE the beaches in Las Terrenas, the color of the water, the sand, how calm it is. I can go in the water with my floating and just relax for 1hr while having a drink on my hand. In Cabarete's beaches you have to wrestle with the waves to get in and out.
Great info,thank you. We are from Canada also and We are going to Las Terenass for a month next winter. I have one question, you mentioned water outages. Can you drink the water there or should we buy bottled water?
Holy week is coming soon in DR, be aware of that because Las Terrenas gets super crowded like most tourist destinations, but :as Terrenas specially because is small, Santo Domingo the capital gets empty for those days, it's the opposite
European tourist and American 2 different type of people in general North American either one Canadian are #1 in general you will connect to them so easy the U.S they are not to far out but, European let say french if there is a worst tourist ever. To the point they know you English is the international language to french tourist you most understand french I don't mistread no tourist we always try to help whoever wants to visit our country however french, I try to avoid them also german and Italian wow sweet people Spanish we don't really see them so much like tourist because they normally come once next time they stay lol
Thanks again for your Cabarete videos. I'm on my last full day of a 14 night stay in Cabarete. I spent my mornings working from an Airbnb in Pro-cab, mid day on a beach near Ocean Dreams and the rest working and watching kite surfers from El Cocotazo Cafe on Kite Beach.

Guys you really have to visit bahia de las aguilas in the south

1) Miches (which is poised to explode as the new main tourism destination, considering the investments that are being made from mega corporations). Over there, look for playa Esmeralda, playa Costa Esmeralda, and playa El Limón.

3) And going far more northwest, you can find Playa Buen Hombre (best kept secret of kitesurfers) and even farther you’ll find Montecristi, specifically Playa Juan de Bolaños.
You should make those 4 your next destinations.
Also, while in Las Terrenas, check for the hidden gems that you can find in Las Galeras, such as Playa Madama.
@@FelipeFermin We've been to a couple of those locations already and have a full video on Punta Rucia / Cayo Arena. Check the channel! :)

Thanks for watching Josh!
I always watch your videos.. you guys are 👍 great
Las Terrenas is french city in Dom Rep, while Cabarete is more Americans, Canadians and Germans like Sosua
How is the sargassum? We were in punta cana in November and couldn't get in the ocean the entire week.
First of all, love the videos and it was a amazing to see you walk into the restaurant that my girlfriend and I were eating at in Las Terrenas. My only quibble about your location rating between Las Terrenas VS Cabarete is that location maybe should be called ease to get to or accessibility
What place are you staying in Cabarete during this video?
you guys should at least learn to pronounce the location names
Great comparison 👍 You gave me reasons for visiting both places depending on my interests.
Cheers Tony! 😀 Thanks so much for watching - Trevor

I have been living in Las Terrenas for a year now and the only thing I find better are the beaches.🤷♀️
Glad you liked the video but we said the restaurants are more diverse and people are more friendly in cabarete. Maybe you missed that? 😀
@@DelightfulTravellers I was sure you had the Restaurant category tied and the vibe and activities better in Las Terrenas. Maybe I missed that! Great video!
I agree with you. However, the beaches are not just better, they are night and day. And once you start venturing out beyond the boundaries of las Terrenas and explore the rest of Samana, it's a whole different ball game. The peninsula of Samana (and its neighboring small islands) have so many paradisaic beaches that It would take you at least a few months to explore all of them . Every time you find a new one you say to yourself that that is it, this has to be the best one. Yet, after turning around the corner (either via driving, hiking, or boating) the next one presents itself and it is just as, or more, beautiful than the previous one. So I'd say that if your priority is having access to beautiful and exotic beaches, Las Terrenas is going to be hard to beat for most of the world.
Hi! i’m from PhoBolSa Tivi. i live in Vietnam.
👋
Keep making great video like this one.god bls both of you
Peace and love.🙏.
I am interested in purchasing rental property and i wanted to know which one is better for attracting more tourists?
I'm so happy to see people like your visit my country you are awesome greats videos and by the way you know of my country that me I'm so glad to follow you thanks guys and have wonderful vacation in my DR God bless.
Thank you so much 😀
High end on entire north coast is Playa Grande just west of Cabrera…
booth terrible PUNTA CANA a real comunity and fully planed
Maybe punta cana is planned but it will never be better than las Terrenas. Punta cana is always full of tourists and Haitians. Las Terrenas is more quiet, safe, the beaches don't have lots of people, the Bahia de Samaná and its protect Virgin areas are incomparable.
You are saying they are "terrible" just because you're a fanatic
@@bow6379 in your dreams theres no ifasturcture there jajajaja
@@ingenieroobras3101 there is enough to live well, the peace of Las Terrenas is worth more than the infrastructure of a place that is always full of people. In las Terrenas you can go to the beach and find literally nobody else there.
How much do you think it costs to rent a golf cart in Las Terrenas for a month?
Not sure… maybe someone else can answer this one for you - Anna
So here is a question, something that’s important to me! Everyone is different, but when I travel, I don’t want to eat European or American food etc, I want the Local foods 100%. So in this case Caribbean foods! I was just in South Africa and it was so much of the foods we have in London where I live. How are your 2 locations in terms of local Caribbean foods in the restaurants?
There's a ton of local food and it's great. We have full on DR food vlogs on the channel - Trevor
Good to see you are back in Cabarete!
Great video guys. Missy was wondering if Anna is wearing an evil eye? Missy is a gem hound these days, and sells online so she always has an eye on these things.
Missy and I need to check out this area.
Thanks 😀 You must mean my bracelet? It's sort of an evil eye but not at the same time haha - Anna
My favorite is samana. Better beaches than puerto plata.
I've been going to Cabarete since 1987. I can't believe you spent months in Cabarete and DIDN'T learn to kitesurf! Come on guys!
I've mentioned this in videos from the DR. I've injured my back in the past... that's it in a nutshell. I'm okay, but I have to be careful. I've skate boarded, snow boarded you name it so I'd luv to try kite surfing. But it's not in the cards - Trevor
Following all the videos I'm appreciative of both delightful locales. I know this -- if I made it down there I'd get me an ATV and tool around everywhere! Maybe all the time! 😎
We so miss having the ATV in Las Terrenas... such a great way to get around 😀 - Trevor
Buying a property in Cabarete because it has more to offer but to be honest I dont like the beaches there. I LOVEEEEEE the beaches in Las Terrenas, the color of the water, the sand, how calm it is. I can go in the water with my floating and just relax for 1hr while having a drink on my hand. In Cabarete's beaches you have to wrestle with the waves to get in and out.
Hear ya! Pros and cons… no question Las Terrenas beaches are the best!
I miss you videos from the Dominican Republic. Do you have any idea when are you guys coming back to Dominican Republic? Thanks
We are definitely coming back to the DR later this year! 😊😊
you HAVE to visit la cueva de las maravillas!!!!!
I can confirm for the 911 service, I work for ....
Hey I recognize that dog 23:41 I miss him lol
🐶
Have you been to Las Galeras? Our fave landfall in the DR. Hard to get to. Not much going on. Just the way we like it.
Yes we have... there's videos on our channel on LG - Anna
What do apartments, hotels and restaurants do when the water shuts off?
Useful comparison. What about boat sailing, eg “hobbies”?
LT all the way for sailing. Not sure about hobbies though - Trevor
Thanks guys I was wondering about Cabarete, are you still in LT?
We’re no longer there no 😀 - Anna
Great info,thank you. We are from Canada also and We are going to Las Terenass for a month next winter. I have one question, you mentioned water outages. Can you drink the water there or should we buy bottled water?
Glad you enjoyed it. You can't drink the water no... bottled water is the way to go - Trevor
That was one of your best videos from d.r. been to samana and puerto plata many times north coast is the best from windsor ontario love the videos
Appreciate that Neil. Lots more on the way 👍 - Trevor
Holy week is coming soon in DR, be aware of that because Las Terrenas gets super crowded like most tourist destinations, but :as Terrenas specially because is small, Santo Domingo the capital gets empty for those days, it's the opposite
We won't be in the DR for holy week. Stay tuned! 🤗 - Anna
Great video guys.. I've been here a few days here and enjoying my new villa
I absolutely love it here I'm glad I got my piece of paradise
Which part of the DR are you in? - Anna
Both places are hell during the Holy Week. You'll see next week 🤣🤣
We won't be here during holy week
@@DelightfulTravellers wohoo!!! Where are you guys going?? 😁
Hi guys you haven't gone to playa Encuentro or playa Alicia
Yes to Playa Encuentro but not Alicia yet 👍 - Anna
Liked and subscribed.
European tourist and American 2 different type of people in general North American either one Canadian are #1 in general you will connect to them so easy the U.S they are not to far out but, European let say french if there is a worst tourist ever. To the point they know you English is the international language to french tourist you most understand french I don't mistread no tourist we always try to help whoever wants to visit our country however french, I try to avoid them also german and Italian wow sweet people Spanish we don't really see them so much like tourist because they normally come once next time they stay lol
It’s puzzling why The DR is such a great vacation destination but Haiti just seems to attract disasters more than tourists.
It really is. So sad - Anna
Congrats on reaching your 100K very well deserved.
Thanks Bob!
Available for long or short term rental?
Congratulations on 100K subscribers, well deserved.
Thank you so much 😀
Being Dominican and knowing the ins and outs of these towns, i would choose Las Terrenas over Cabarete 1000%.
Good to know! Why though? 😀 I'm sure people reading the comments would like to know - Trevor
Cabarete has issues with police corruption, drugs, prostitution. Overall Las Terrenas feel safer to me.
Another Very good informative video 🙌🏽 and congrats on 100k , you guys deserve it
Glad you enjoyed the video Luis 🤗 - Anna
Xin chào.
👋
This is a great video comparing the 2 cities👍 I'm almost thinking it would be worthwhile to visit both
Definitely visit both if you have enough time 😀 - Trevor
You should do a video about your opinion of the life, culture and the Dominican people
That would be a tricky video to film - Trevor
Such a great video! Very informative. You can't find this " meat and potatoes" information anywhere and it's what I was looking for! Happy travels!❤
I’m missing the pink pineapple t shirt. 🤣 ❤️
haha I no longer have that shirt. It ran its course 😅 - Trevor
Where I want to retire DR is heaven on earth ❤
Thanks again for your Cabarete videos. I'm on my last full day of a 14 night stay in Cabarete. I spent my mornings working from an Airbnb in Pro-cab, mid day on a beach near Ocean Dreams and the rest working and watching kite surfers from El Cocotazo Cafe on Kite Beach.
