I took a beginners course at Kiteworld with my partner and was very satisfied. The founder and instructor Vincent was one of the few who was present in the office to personally discuss the course. The course itself was well organized and Vincent made a lot of effort to respond individually to our level.We had a lot of fun during the course! A tip: In February the wind usually only comes in the afternoon, so you should plan enough time.
Excellent downwind experience! The staff is very welcoming. Kite by enthusiasts for enthusiasts.I recommend.
Amazing kite school in Las Terrenas with a French owner. They really know how to teach and are very fair with their prices—you only pay if there’s wind and if you learn a lot. My instructor, Chelo, was just a great guy. I managed to learn how to ride, and he even took quite a few videos of me going. Super recommended!
Kiteworld was an absolute highlight of our trip to Las Terrenas, DR. Vincent was the most knowledgeable guide and fantastic Kitesurfing instructor. The class was thorough and if we had more time, we’d book many days to enjoy the beautiful waters of Punta-Popy and spend more time with Vincent. His professionalism kept us safe and his instruction was clear, as he speaks many languages. Our vacation was amazing mostly because of how it was managed at every spontaneous and uncoordinated move our group of 12 made. Vincent connected us with wonderful people, from Transfers to & from the airport to tours of Los Haitises Nation Park. He arranged for wonderful translators (in many languages) and drivers as well as boat operators and all the time we Canadians were safe, happy, and confident. The prices were very reasonable and the experiences are ones we will tell all our friends and anyone who will listen. We will be returning to Las Terrenas and hope Vincent of KiteWorld, and all of his connections (including Damian, Alain of Arena Tours, and Alfredo) will entertain and guide us again! Highly highly recommend!! Thank you Vincent & all!
Can definitely recommend this place.We rented equipment and took lessons here.Vincent is a super nice guy and his instructors are super competent and professional.Good value for money!
What an amazing experience! Vincent’s coffee/mountain/beach tour on quads is a must. Views along the way were amazing and getting to try coffee and fresh fruit with cacao was a great experience. Special thanks to Vincent for showing us around las Terrenas!
Highly recommend Vincent. He can speak English which was a plus for us. He knows this place as he has been here for 10 years. We never felt rushed with him. He was so kind and very laid back. We even enjoyed an amazing lunch with him. The coffee tour was a must! So good! Thank you so much, Vincent🤗
I really cannot say enough great things about having Vincent as a guide for our ATV excursion in Las Terrenas. We were traveling alone, just me and my 2 daughters. Our first trip outside the US. We speak no Spanish. (Vincent speaks 4 languages!). We had never ridden ATVs. Vincent was an amazing host. Took us through the countryside at a perfect pace, allowing us to see village, rural, jungle and beach settings. He took us to a coffee/cocoa farm and his favorite beach. We enjoyed it so much that we hired him for a second excursion to hike Cascada El Limon waterfall. He knew the best trails and best place to park. We felt safe with him because he was both very knowledgeable but also familiar with the area and the people. He even went above and beyond to help us find an ATM that would accept our American debit cards. He was patient, funny, experienced and truly cared about helping us make the most out of our two tours with him. He also offered his text number for any other questions or recommendations we may need during our stay. I highly recommend you take some time to tour the beautiful Samana Penninsula on ATV with Vincent. You will be very happy you did, and he will help you make memories to last a lifetime! Thank you, Vincent!
My family and I had a great time!! We did the ATV coffee trail tour and horseback trekking to El Limon. Vincent is a great host. He took care of us from begining to end. Very attentive and informative the entire time. We will definitley be using Vincent if we return to La Terrenas in the future. Thank you Vincent!
My friends and I had an amazing experience on the ATV tour with Vincent. This is easily worth the money! It’s absolutely beautiful and we never would have seen these views and had these experiences if not for the tour. We were cheering the whole time and felt really safe despite the rocky bits of the drive. The coffee, chocolate, cacao, and honey were AMAZING!! Would definitely do this again. Thank you Vincent!!!
The experience with Kiteworld was outstanding. The kite-beach is wonderful and is easily a 10/10 from its beauty.We have booked the 6 hours group beginners program. Our guide Fritz was super helpful and funny. With a mix of English and French there was no language barrier. If you want to get a little more training, I’d suggest you take the single option instead of the group.The equipment was in good shape and fit all sizes (S & XL).One thing we had to learn though, is that winds are sometimes unpredictable and doesn’t always go along with your training hours. But you can’t blame that on Kiteworld :).Digital payment options are available. We will be back!
Fantastic experience! I was in Las Terrenas for vacation and found Vincent and Kiteworld by chance. I had no experience when I showed up. Vincent and his team of world class instructors taught me the basics of piloting a kite, how to get up and ride on a board, and most importantly how to do so safely. Yencito and Sandy were so patient and helpful as I learned over the course of a few days. By day 5 I was confident to get up on the board and ride. I can't wait to go back and keep progressing my skills. I strongly recommend heading to Kiteworld if you are interested in learning to kite board.
Being completely new to kitesurfing, I couldn’t be happier with my experience with KiteWorld. After only 3 lessons I could already stand on the board thanks to the instructors’ guidance and patience. Not to mention that the spot where we practice is a paradise. Warm, turquoise waters, cool atmosphere. I’d give Kiteworld 10 stars if I could.
I visited a couple of schools in the past and kiteworld is by far the best school with amazing coaches and owner, they helped me stay upwind and even started doing some jumps. They also helped us plan our trip (Airport taxi, scooter rentals and things to do in Las Terrenas). To summarize!! It was a blast and I'm already planning a second trip.
I had researched Kiteworld before coming to Las Terrenas as the best kitesurfing lessons in the area and I believe it to be the case. My instructor Ewan was awesome. He gave a lot of great tips which would much of the time be the exact thing I needed to progress. I booked the 6 hour package to start and immediately booked another when that finished. The only reason I didn’t book more was because I had to leave. Definitely recommend this place, and ask for Ewan if he’s here!
