- Опубликовано: 15 июл 2024
- Travel to the Dominican Republic! In this week's video we're discussing what you should expect travelling to the Dominican Republic in 2022.
We're in Cabarete (the North Coast of the Dominican Republic about 40 minutes from Puerto Plata), we're taking a walk on Cabarete Beach to Kite Beach and back to town and while we walk we answer some of your frequent questions about the Dominican Republic and what it's like to be here.
We discuss how many people are here and how it went from very quiet to quite busy and what we think it will be like in early 2022.
We also discuss the pandemic and Covid-19 and what the rules and protocols are like here and what to expect.
We talk about safety and how we feel in Cabarete. We also did a full video no Safety in the past, watch it here: • Is Dominican Republic ...
We eventually sit down at the well known Mojito Bar in the middle of the beach strip to have some lunch. Here we discuss what service at restaurants has been like as things in town get busier. We also discuss the cost of things here in the DR.

Happy New Year. Rain rain and rain in Halifax.
@@janicelangille7553 Oh no... we hope the sun comes out for you soon - Anna
My husband and I moved to a field near Puerto Plata, you should know the small town of Luperon, there is a beautiful bay where many foreigners live on their boats.
What a tropical paradise! 😍 How amazing that you guys have had this place mostly to yourselves!
You guys say often that it is "hot". Is it also terribly humid?
Yeah we've been pretty spoiled here in the DR! 😀- Trevor
@@edwinwatkins8645 It's not that humid no!
@@edwinwatkins8645 yes! the humidity is bad,I love st.marteen is beautiful 😍
En República Dominicana el día más claro. Por eso el clima es tropical.
I was in Cabarete this whole week, spent NYE at an all inclusive around you guys. I even recognize some of the people that you filmed at the beach!
Love your channel!
Nice! We so recognize faces on the beach every day too Jean 🤗- Anna
Así es mi bella Republica Dominicana Tiene muchos lugares super encantadores que deberían conocer. Me siento muy orgullosa de mi patria gracias por compartir lo hermoso de mi tierra. 🤗
Happy 2022! I love the idea of being outside most of the time! It looks so sunny and pleasant there!
Thanks guys! Happy new year, may this year be absolutely awesome and filled with all that's wonderful. Take care.
Appreciate that Wendy! Happy NY - Trevor
Happy 2022 guys! I love your videos and have been watching for a while. So glad to see your subs growing. Great things are in store for 2022 stay positive and keep your joy. Hugs from Texas!
We so appreciate that Diana. Let’s go 2022! 🤗 - Anna
We will be at Kite Beach first two weeks in March come by for a beer.
Happy new year guys. Seeing the beautiful, warm beach videos certainly helps brighten up a cold snowy day here in Toronto. Cheers and stay safe. Dan. ✌️🇨🇦
Thanks and we hope it warms up in TO for you soon - Trevor
Our vote is YES on kite surfing! You’ve both been sun kissed and look wonderful and so happy! 100K is on its way! Great video guys! ~Cara 😊
Happy new years! I really enjoy your videos!!!
Happy New Year 2022 Anna & Trevor- I so hope that your next trip in the Dominican Republic will be to the Mountains of Jarabacoa, and stay in one of the cabins with a fireplace. Keep the videos coming!!!
Happy New Year to the both of you! Hope you had a great holiday season. I really enjoyed seeing all the kites. Thank you for showing us a different part of the world that we've never been to.
Happy New Year guys!
Happy New Year!! Feliz Año Nuevo!! You did it well, you are out of Canada and out of Omicron, enjoy it!!!!
I've spent December in Cabarete the past few years it's just a wonderful place.
The best!
Beautiful. Happy New Year guys! 🥰💛
Happy New Year! It is fun to see all the kites. Ahh I never get tired of seeing the beach and you both sitting at a restaurant on the beach - now that is relaxation! Looking forward to following more of your adventures and daily life in the DR. (Good choice on not rushing back here, same old restrictions but things are slowly going to get better...) Great that you made the point about service. We all have to practice more patience as this is the case in many places; less staff, less training, some supply issues etc. sad but this is the fall out we are currently facing
We're in no rush at all to come home Rosie. Expect a lot more DR videos and of course ... beaches and food 😀- Trevor
Happy new year .god bless you guys .keep enjoying my beautiful country
El mejor País del Mundo!!!..2022!!!!
Hi guys , happy new year and a love this videos.... Specially that I'm from there, living in Canada now.... Have fun 👋😊
I think this will be our new thought for spending holidays in tropics in the coming retirement!!!!!!!!! We had a beautiful Christmas and New Year's Eve in the resort in Playa del Carmen with the Doctor office , we did the test before departure ,and to our amazement we are positive and we are on quarantined.We have pandemic insurance , We are OK , OK!!!! Travel individually will be safer , that what You do is giving us lessons for the future.Happy New 2022 Year !!!!!!!
Happy New Year to you and Anna!❤
Hi guys, awesome vid as always! You two are so cute when you said how much it makes your day with all the comments you get, cause you MAKE my day when you respond to mine. Thanks guys, back in ON right now living vicariously thru you, looking forward to all to come in 2022! My new year's resolution is to stop reading all our CDN news everyday, lol!
I haven't been commenting recently but I always enjoy all your videos Trevor and Anna so thank you
Hey Justin... great to see you back in the comments. How are things going with you? Good we hope. Happy New Year 🥳- Anna
@@DelightfulTravellers thank you Anna and hopefully everything is going great for you n Trevor

Happy New Year Anna and Trevor . Best wishes from 🇬🇧 xx
🤗
Thank you so much for this great video!! Very good details. Now I will share with friends from different states. Many blessings 🥂⚘
Awesome! Thank you!
Happy New Year. Continue to enjoy your stay. My guess is Samana. Thanks for sharing your journey.😎
been chilly, by southern California standards :) the warm, sunny beach looks really inviting!
We hope you have a cold drink in hand at least Taki 😆 Happy new year! - Trevor
Anna and Trevor, thank you so much for your entertaining and informative vlogs. You two carried me thru the pandemic with your videos in the Philippines. I really thank you for that. Your latest vlogs in The Dominican Republic have been amazing. I traveled thru much of the Caribbean on cruise ships but have never been to the Dominican Republic. You two should be their travel ambassadors. I am been planning a visit very soon based on your videos. It looks simply amazing. Just caught this older vlog. Kite surfing is beautiful for sure. I wish you well on your return to your home or your next destination. Oh, congrats on reaching 100,000 subscribers. I assure you the next 100k will be much easier. Keep up the good work. Take care and stay safe my friends. Oh, Trevor, you need to start saying this is Anna and I’m Trevor in that order as we both know she is the most important. Love you guys, Tim B.
So appreciate all the kind words. Thank you so much 🤗 - Anna
Happy new year guys. Thanks for another great video. The food and drink looked yum. Can’t get over the view from the beach of the kite surfers. Just beautiful. Stay safe. Sue
The views in this little town are out of this world. The kite surfers are so fun to watch - Trevor
Very nice video. You guys look great, healthy and happy. Love the beach. Happy New Year! All the best! Cheers!!
🥰
Hi Anna and Trevor and Happy New Year. Enjoy watching your videos but must admit makes me miss being there. We haven't been there for 2 years now after spending between 3-12 weeks yearly for over 20 years. We stayed at La Punta, just past Velero. Maybe some day we will be back.
Happy New Year! Glad the DR is getting back to normal. With a little Googling on my keyboard, I am going to guess your next adventure will be Las Cuevas de Cabarete. Enjoy the warn weather, food, and scenery.
Stay tuned to find out 😀 Happy New Year - Anna
Welcome back guys 😊 happy new year 🥳
Thanks guys... hopefully lots more travel for all of us in 2022 - Trevor
Happy New Year Anna & Trevor!
Amazing video!!
We are planning to go the first week of March to Cabarete, greetings from New Jersey!!
Oh wow ... you’re going to luv it here - Anna
Happy New Year's to you guys
Awesome video! I will definitely try kite surfing. 👍
Happy new year. Great videos. Love Caberete Beach. Live down the road a bit from there. Maybe I'll see you around town.

Yay we're lighting our fire 🔥 as it's finally -10, I was pregnant (another in arms) during '98 Qc ice storm so.... Enjoy your non-farmed 😝 fish dynamic dual 🐟 plus wholesome fruit and veggies, bonne année!

Mean time enjoy it through your videos enjoy
Happy New Year Diane! - Anna
Happy new year 👏💕🇨🇦🇨🇦
🥳
Very nice walk on Kite Beach. I'll bet Trevor would have had an even more delightful time if he'd been able to get the drone up! Happy New Year! 🎇🎇
haha it was a little windy. Maybe next time 😀 - Trevor
It's so nice see you guys in my beautiful country, enjoy yourself there. You should go to las Terrenas in Samaná, it's so beautiful and go to the Salto el limón, it's a big water fall in Samaná. You can stay in cayó levantado hotel, it's a hotel in a island, it's beautiful. Enjoy everything guys 😊😊
Thanks for watching Ricky! - Trevor
Happy New Years from Lake Loon N.S.,ps near dartmouth
Just heard about North Coast Breweries in Sosua. You two should definitely check it out! Also the Damajuagua waterfalls. Enjoy watching your videos from frigid Ontario!
Thanks Dee... we also just heard about this place and we're going to definitely visit there soon! 🍻- Trevor
I would absolutely participate in windsurfing at Kite Beach…as an active observer with my feet touching warm sand…and a cold beer in hand 😅. It’s nice to hear that talk of everything related to the pandemic is kept to a minimum where you two are staying. I just got my (3rd) booster vaccination today out of precaution due to the prevalent cases for Toronto and the GTA area, thousands of which seem to predominantly be attributed to the Omicron variant. Here’s hoping that the year 2022 brings a fresh start and better times because at this point I don’t need to learn any more of the Greek alphabet 🤞🏼😷. Happy New Year Delightful Travellers 🎆!
Well done with the booster! We will be getting ours later this month as well. This omicron variant can just go away! - Trevor
Active observer, awesome, beats arm chair traveller! We cheer when they fall cause they're soon under water and can't hear us!
Happy New Year
Happy New Year from River Bourgeois, Cape Breton, NS!
Happy NY to you! Miss the Cape! - Trevor
Thx for sharing. I’m guessing Punta Cana as they have one of the best coral reefs in the world. 😎👍
Love your videos. Coming to the DR end of January. From Ontario Canada.
Looking to find a place to rent or buy …. I will keep watching to learn from you all. Thank you
Thanks so much! You'll so like it here in the DR - Trevor
I'm guessing you guys are heading to Las Terrenas de Samaná. It's a great place much quieter than Cabarete but the same vibe. Please keep making those great videos they make me feel at home. I'm from Dominican Republic 🇩🇴 and it has been over 4 years I haven't been able to visit but definitely will be there this summer. Keep up the great work, thanks
Thanks so much for watching Alexander - Trevor
thxs for tall the info from another fellow canadian to another...we are going to punta cana in late jan....first time beach vaction...we lost out on las vegas because of covid...so we are going to DR to relax..bein a lomg hard 2 yrs....we agree omicron or wht ever is out here but done running from it..we all need to live agian
Here in Toronto, we just got put back into lockdown, everything shutting down. Fortunately for me, I work from home and am looking to visit the Dominican for 1 month in February.
Another great video!! I am thinking you are headed to Las Terrenas soon? Have fun and enjoy and make sure you visit the Playa Bonita beach area. We unfortunatly got canceled this weekend so very sad. Not rebooked until end of Feb. into March!!!
🤫 don’t give it away 😉 We can’t wait! - Anna
@@DelightfulTravellers Sorry! You will love it!!
Happy New Years from Dominicaine République ! We are here too for 3 months at Samana, Las Terrenas so if you have time Come to see this place it's very beautiful! So anjoy Cabarete, love the vidéo that you make, very interesting! Good job! Bye bye !
Thanks.... we will definitely be visiting Samana and LT. Hopefully very very soon - Anna
Wow que bello cielo!
Happy New Year! I'm going to guess the very recommended place is the Damajagua waterfalls
January is a busy time in the region due to the kite surfers who migrate every year! It's always like that this time of year.
Happy new year
Most provinces shut down today at 11am EST - no indoor dining, gyms, movies etc. Back to Square 1!
Great to see your tanned and happy faces at the start of a new year! 🥰 Be gone omicron, we all desperately need the beach for real now……
Be gone omicron indeed. Happy new year Helen 😀 - Trevor
Happy new year 🎉
🎉
It has to be Samara. Las Terrenas. After watching you and other tubers for the past 2 years we are finally going on a trip.(Costa Rica for 5 wks) btw a balmy 5 degrees in NS today.
Thanks Ian. Woh you're going to CR... it's so amazing there - Trevor
I'm a Developer and I would like to work remotely and live in a touristic place like u guys. In Samaná or Punta cana thougth. Grettings from Santo Domingo, wish u success 🇩🇴👋🏻
Hi guys, can you make a video eating the typical Dominican lunch, (rice, beans, meat, and salad) that would be great. I miss that Dominican dish.
Your spidey senses must be tingling. That's coming soon - Trevor
How about inside the ⛪ churches there? They.must be Catholic not like you guys aye, protestants from NS? Hubby is one, his mom was from Scotland (winning side no dought), I said "Couldn't you think up a better name for a religion? Was it on sale or something?" Ha ha, remember happiness comes from inside! Oh lots of kite flyers, that's hard aye Captain Surfboard when dat wind does blow!
Well stay safe there is 2 more variants out there they haven't named them yet but they are out there in europe.
Bahia de las Aguilas!
Great video Anna and Trevor! I appreciate the information. We have been following you for a long time! Hey, quick question….how does D.R compare to Curaçao or Dominica? We will be staying in the Punt Cana area in March. Looking forward to it, but our two favourite Carribean islands by far are Dominica and Curaçao? Like you we usually stay off resort and do BnB’s. Thanks again and Happy New Year from Saskatoon.
Hey Shawno... we just answered your question in an upcoming video. This will all make sense when you see it haha. But basically the DR is bigger and kind of a combo of both - Trevor
@@DelightfulTravellers I look forward to it! Stay safe!
yes, this is the highest high season. those are likely not foreigners but dominicans from the capital on winter holidays.
Definitely a bit of both 👍 - Trevor
Yes, especially since it is kind of a tradition for Dominicans to go to the beach on New Year
Look for Bahia de las Águilas on the south part of the country another paradise
Happy New Year, Trevor and Anna! Are you going to take some salsa/merengue dance classes?
haha... there's no plans at the moment for dancing Emily 😀- Trevor
@@DelightfulTravellers That's a shame. My friend is married to a Dominican woman. I hear that pop up street parties happen--even at a car wash!
I'm new here but so excited to watch you. Have you been to punta cana yet? We were thinking of going. Do you recommend? Happy new year! From WA state
Yes we have! There's PC videos on our channel 😀
Really enjoying all of your DR vlogs……..we were supposed to go to the Philippines in Feb., but still doesn’t look like they are open!! We may change it up & come to the DR!! Did you have to quarantine when you arrived?
Thanks... at the moment there's no quarantine to come to the DR - Trevor
Wuuuaaaooo u guys are amazing now u are make me thinking to go there by the end of February and checkout las terrenas I am 53 years old and I been thinking to go there since I found u guys. Please please keep recording and update. My wife now are mad a me because I am already want to go a early retirement I am from New York and the pandemic are getting worse every day.guy thank you very much .
My husband and I will be there a month also the end of February too!! We can't wait!!
Jay Ramirez. Meant to send the reply to you.
Happy New Year. Hey guys did you get my email with the attachment of the Mama Juana ditty?
My sister is there right now. Can't leave because she supposedly tested positive for covid but is asymptomatic.
Happy New Year! It's obviously windy there to attract so many kite surfers and kites. Is it consistently windy all the time? Or is it more of a pleasant breeze?
It's windy about 75% of the time but honestly it's a pleasant breeze in this kind of heat. It's perfect really - Anna
My friends and I will be traveling there next month. We have passport, but not a travel visa. Do we need travel visa? Thank you sharing the video!
Hi from Russia 🇷🇺 😀 you are so cool guys!
👋 and thanks!
I will be in Puerta Plata from March 22 to April 6 th. Any chance I will step into you two? Would love that
Hi...discovered you guys as I was investigating a new place to go in the DR that was smaller (so we could walk most places) than where we've previously gone in the DR...going to Cabarete in February for 6 weeks, so your videos are very informative...I hope you can answer a few questions for me....is there ample supply of shampoos, suntan lotions? I ask because these things are heavy and I would prefer not to bring my own. Also, we've been told there are no beach chairs at the condo, only at the pool...since we're there for 6 weeks, will we be able to purchase or hustle beach chairs? Thanks so much for your help....looking forward to where you'll be going next!
Yes you can buy everything here and there's always available beach chairs on the playa for about 150pesos pp 🤗 - Anna
How long can you guys stay in the country legally?
Planning to go in April. I’m worried about testing positive at a resort then trying to get back into the US. Do you have any info on their quarantine protocols at resorts?
No we don't have info on that sort of thing. You should just contact your resort - Anna
So, it is probably a dumb question, but on the couple of times I have been tot he DR, there are signed in the hotel rooms and what not to drink the tap water. How well have you adjusted to the water?
Bottled water , or the 5 gallon
What is the name of your condo complex in Cabaret.?
Happy New Year! We'll be in cabarete in February. How do you guys manage to get around town without a car?
We walk everywhere and stick to Cabarete mostly. We taxi to Sousa if we need to and only rent cars for getaways when we need them. How long you staying in Cabarete for? 😀 - Trevor
@@DelightfulTravellers we'll be in Las Terrenas for 2 days then Cabarete for 2 days. We are planning to relocate in the summer so we coming to tour schools for our kids.
