      an unforgettable family adventure at Kite Buen Hombre
      🌊🪁 Just had an unforgettable family adventure at Kite Buen Hombre! With our crew of five, we dove into kitesurfing classes and emerged as official kiters! 🎉 The highlight? A thrilling graduation downwind trip from Cayo Arena (aka Paradise Island)! Huge shoutout to the fantastic team who made it all possible. Who knew flying a kite could get this exhilarating? 😄 Ready to catch some waves again soon! #KitesurfingFamily #AdventureAwaits

      Great kiteboarding conditions and excellent people!
      Terrific place to learn to kiteboard and improve skills! Flat, shallow water with great wind. The team at Kite Buen Hombre, Riin, Miky, Helen, and the whole crew are super-welcoming and friendly. Loved the downwinder!! Highly recommend!

      Peace and Beach and good kiting teachers.
      I'm here third time and recommend it. Beach is beautiful. People, Helen, Miki and Riin are wonderful hosts. Kiting lessons are excellent. I took trip to Paradise island and me and my kids did like it very much. Thank You.

      Kite in the wild!!
      From the beginning process of inquiring and making the reservation Helen was very prompt and helpfull in guiding us so we can optimise our experience.As soon as we arrived, Helen recieved us with a very warm welcome.The accomodation beach hut style were comfy and the perfect place to disconnect.The school occupy a prime spot on the beach where we can store our equipment.Very convenient it made our stay super easy and relax.Plug and play ! We started our first day with a down wind.The instructors Miky and David and the Captain Cesar were very attentive and professional nothing was to much trouble.It is about 1h30 from Paradise island it is a must do!!The views looking out while you kite are amazing! We had a paquage with breakfast and diner included , food was very tasty and freshly made.We had delicious fish and meat Dominican style.And if you have special requirements they are very accomodating. While we shared meal time with other guest it allows you to meet extraodinary people and exchange lots of great stories! The site is not overcrowded at least when we were there...So we had lots of area to play with. Thank you for this special moments, we will return soon!

      Kite Buen Hombre exceeded our expectations! Not only does it offer beautiful rooms and cool vibes, but the family-style meals featuring local delicious food were a highlight. The professional kite school with the latest gear and top-notch instructors, along with kite trips on their boat, made our stay unforgettable. A must-visit for kite enthusiasts and food lovers alike!

      Best kite surfing school cabarete
      I have tried a few kite surfing schools in the Dominican Republic and there is a clear winner. If you want kite surfing school cabarete or kite surfing school buen hombre I highly recommend this team of professionals. Everything they do is designed to make your kite surfing journey a blast! To make your experience more comfortable this school offers everything from transportation to lodging, spectacular graduation ceremonies, and an overall great vibe. Also if you are looking for a more simple option (just lessons) they offer that too. I would say the price is fair and they are an honest company who provides years of professional experience and they have a great reputation.

      Hasta luego KBH
      We had a wonderful holiday over New years 2023-2024 with our 2 adult kids. It started with a nice pickup at PPlata airport and scenic drive thru the DR countryside. The camp is ideally situated on the kite beach, with perfect conditions for learning or progressing, or just ‘mowing the lawn’. We really enjoyed the communal meals and family dogs. Riin, Miky and Helen are wonderful hosts, and you come away feeling like you’ve made a lot of new friends. Our daughter took the kite lesson package and was going comfortably upwind by day 2, a testament to Miky’s great teaching skills. By day 4 she was doing a 2hr downwinder, and quite smoothly at that. (pro-tip: bring two kites on the downwinder in case one develops a leak). If you want a taste of glamping in rural DR, with terrific kite conditions and friendly hosts, book yourself in. A shout out to a fellow visitor ‘uncle Don’ who kept us laughing the whole week.

      Highly recommend booking a stay here
      From the second my friend and I walked through the gate we were greeted by a welcoming staff that throughout the stay made us feel welcome and a part of there family. Even as a non kiter I enjoyed my stay so much I didn't want to leave. We were a part of a day group trip to the 7 islands with was an amazing trip. Even though some of the accommodation can be a little rustic we loved the experience. Would highly recommend booking a stay here.

      The best kite surf teachers
      Best kitesurfing school in very safe conditions with experienced instructors. This place is an experience in real nature. The water is shallow and safe and the best place for a beginner indeed. Very safe camp and kind hosts. A wonderful vacation with guests from all over the world, adventures and dinners together.

      Kite Paradise, Wonderful People, & The Best Vibes!
      I have been to Kite Buen Hombre twice now, and am currently planning a 3rd trip (all as a solo female traveler)! This is where I learned to kite, Buen Hombre ocean and beaches are absolutely beautiful, always windy & warm (no wet suit!!) but what keeps me coming back is the great people who own this camp!! Riin and Micky will make sure you are taken care of 100%, they have family style dinners where you can have great conversation with people from all over the world, and as a beach lover myself- this is the most beautiful and friendly beach I have ever visited. If you want to learn how to kite, or if you're an experienced kiter looking for a beautiful destination for your next kite trip, this is it!!! All around great vibes I love this place :)

      Vacation in paradise
      The only expectation I had for going was "oh my god let there be sun" and there was but also much else. Starting with sleeping in a bungalow where I got the best sleep, falling asleep to sounds of the ocean. Waking up the table was filled with delicious and fresh food. Also in the evening. Even if you need some special food, they will make it happen. The people- Riin & Miky, Helen, Sergio and everyone else were so welcoming and made the stay so easy. Kiteing is obviously the main activity but I also did paddleboarding, which was so fun! Already missing the sweetest doggos- Lucky, Rocky, Pepe and Shaka 🥰 I truly enjoyed every moment there. Especially the chilling in the hammocks and swimming in the ocean 😅 Definitely a place everyone should have on their bucket list.

      Amazing kite school and place to stay, the whole package
      I had the most amazing time with Kite Buen Hombre. I stayed with them in one of their bungalows overlooking the sea. It felt like I had stepped into the kiters paradise that you only ever hear of but never dream of seeing. Buen Hombre is a beautiful quiet kiters spot perfect for beginners and advanced kiters alike. Kite Buen Hombre took such good care of me. As a solo women traveller they took me under their wing and made me feel so at home there I didn’t want to leave. Your happiness and well-being is their top priority. I’m a vegan and they made sure that there was always a proper meal waiting for me at breakfast and dinner. The kite school is really well managed and has a great supportive atmosphere. I took an advanced lesson from their head instructor Micky in how to jump. And in 20 minutes I was landing my jumps. He is an incredible teacher and I could not recommend him enough, I have seen him put smiles on beginners and intermediate kiters. Cabarete is a super cool place to kite, but to be able to kite in strong winds, with only a handful of kites on the water and with multiple downwinder options. Buen Hombre wins every time. Definitely would recommend Kite Buen Hombre again and again. Big shout out to Helen, Riin & Eva for creating the experience.

    Learned how to kite here! Consistent wind, flat water, very well equipped kite school and good vibes. The boys helped me set up my kite, launch and take it back down. Whenever I got out of the water Miky and Eric would give me tips on how to improve my kiting. There’s hammocks on the second floor of the school where you can relax after your session and watch the boys put on a kite show 🤩

    My experience in Buen Hombre was amazing . All my expectations were exceeded! Not only was the kite instructor very professional (thanks to him I learnt kitesurfing in only 3 days!), the staff was also very welcoming, attentive and caring - having breakfast and dinner together with everyone felt like being part of a big family! And the food was just great, varied every day and the dinner always included fresh fish or seafood. I was very lucky with the weather, the wind was perfect every day and it was sunny 98% of the time while it was apparently raining in the rest of the country. Waking up to the sound of the waves made the experience just perfect.
    I will definitely return soon!

    Staying at KBH was a blast. The place has everything that makes you feel at ease and the kitespot itself is just great. Wind picks up only at about 12-1pm so the mornings are for chilling. The large shallow waterfront makes it perfect for semi beginners such as myself. Go before the whole world discovers buen hombre! Gret

    Buen Hombre is an amazing spot, especially for beginners like me. The wind conditions are perfect, and the lack of waves makes it ideal for learning. What I love most is the strong sense of community—it’s a place where even if you're traveling solo, you feel like part of a family. There's just one big table where everyone comes together for breakfast, dinner, or to play games, which makes it feel so warm and welcoming. I absolutely love it and will definitely be returning

    Thank you Steve for your very passionate words and spelling mistakes, glad to see that your inadequate state of mind is well shown in your way of writing...  Thank you also for staying with us for more than 3 weeks, sure you would not have stayed if the place and our staff were not great, maybe too great as asking our young boys, our instructors, to roll joints for you is definitely not an honorable thing to do. And not a good example to boast to everybody that you have not been sober either of alcohol nor drugs for 3 years and more. It is ok as it is your way of life and not for us to judge. But it did cause us several inconveniences. Sadly though you forgot to mention that the beautiful and humble Lucky who is a big dog but the most peaceful and loved by all our friends and guests, jumped as you stepped on his tail that had been broken before. I could not imagine if somebody would step on your broken foot while stumbling around intoxicated like you did… just to make it correct, the dog never attacked you while you stepped on his tail, he did jump up what every live being would do in the same situation. He did not bite or harm you in any way. We love our guests, and we love our special dogs we have saved for many years. I would be the first to admit if there was misbehavior from our side. Lastly, you have written this to the wrong place as this is a listing of a Kite School, you never took kite classes, although it would have maybe helped you to become a kiter as still, you are not an independent kiter. You stayed in our kite school accommodations, so this review is not in a right place and I have tried to communicate many times with TripAdvisor but somehow they have not taken note of the fact that this review is posted to the wrong place. It was an unfortunate situation that several guests did not want to stay and left because they did not want to share the same space at the dinner table with Steve, never happened before in 8 years. May you have safe travels. No offence taken, you are an anomaly in our paradisiac place.

    We had an amazing time over Christmas! Riin and Helen were amazing hosts and our trip would not have been the same without them. They were able to reschedule us around the rain, book us transport when our bus left us stranded and find us room in Riin's boutique hotel in Cabarete when our other hotel had a moldy roof. They went above and beyond to ensure our trip was stress-free and adventure filled. The instructors were great and very dedicated. Would highly recommend!

    I visited Kite Buen Hombre in April and it was a wonderful experience . There is ideal conditions, flat water, very good wind and Micky and the boys are great instructors. During my stay, the wind was absolutely every day. Kite Buen Hombre also provides accommodation in eco friendly bungalos. There are also wonderful mountain views and colorful sunsets.

    Stayed with the hosts in Cabarete on a previous trip and they were really fun, so when I considered taking kiteboarding lessons this was my first address. Buen Hombre is a quaint little fishing town with very reliable wind. I was not there in high season and still able to kitesurf almost every day. I really fell in love with the sport there and progressed so much with the help of the instructors and also the kind, interesting and helpful community of kiters from all over the world who had found their way there.

    The best kite surfing school, very high level instructors and great service. amazing how fast you can improve in perfect conditions! They also offer to stay between the location in Cabarete and Buen Hombre and you can use kite classes also between the two places. i did not have very much time, so i learned in Kite Buen Hombre and also practiced 2 day sin the choppier water in Cabarete. Kite Buen Hombre also has the best downwinders and kite trips in the Dominican Republic.

    This place is a piece of paradise, the beautiful white beach and the peacefulness makes this a perfect place to visit for both kiters and non kiters. I took their 12 hour kite course and loved it, the instructors are professional and makes the learning fun. This a perfect place for beginners because of the flat and shallow waters. Already planning a new trip next year. The staff treats you like family, and the general vibe of the people visiting and staff is great.

    Highly recommend this place
