In this video we're talking about why Las Terrenas, Samana in the Dominican Republic has become so popular in the last couple of years.
We make our way around Las Terrenas, from Playa Bonita to Playa Las Ballenas and in town to talk about what everyone loves about this town.
We talk about how amazing the beaches are in Las Terrenas as well as different water sports (surfing and kite boarding) you can do here.
We also talk about the unique transportation options, we've rented a quad bike (ATV) which is a common way to get around on the roads here. You can also drive UTVs (buggies), golf carts and of course cars and motorbikes.
We discuss real estate options and prices and what you can get for condos and villas.
Lastly we head into the main part of town to Plaza Centro Colonial. A building that isn't historic (but looks like it is) and looks like it's straight out of Spain. We have happy hour drinks at a place called the Garage Bar. While here we talk about the European influence and feel of Las Terrenas.

Mi nombre ligia tavar z
I was in las terrenas back in October and I get why people are moving there, after suffering from anxiety and depression the last couple of years I felt alive in this place, it truly is heaven on earth and I myself would like to live there are well, great video as always guys, lets get to 100k already, cheers.
I hope you're feeling better now Junior. Thanks for always following along on our adventures 🤗 - Anna
@@DelightfulTravellers thanks Anna I'm feeling much better now, if its ok with you I would like to refer your channel to the Dominican first lady hopefully you can get some acknowledgment, I believe your videos are doing great service to the country. Thanks.
@@juni21 Thanks Junior! It's okay for sure ... you don't have to do that though 🤗
I feel that the main concern with Las Terrenas growing and becoming more popular is that it may gradually turn into another Punta Cana. I personally love the "small town" charm that characterizes Las Terrenas, I just hope that developers and real estate folks don't ruin the essence of the town by proliferating the whole area with high-priced condos, villas, and hotels.
I visited there in 2004 and it was totally different. I personally preferred it when it was undeveloped and natural. There are more options for accommodation with it being developed. They usually trash the place when over developed and I hope this don't happen there.
We feel like it's in a perfect spot right now with development. But there sure is a lot of land that I imagine developers will snag up. I can't see it becoming another Punta Cana but there's no doubt about it that it will develop more. It seems like it's just getting started really - Trevor
Dominican here , I'm 45 and have been visiting Terrenas since I was born and my family has been going there before me, no way it will happen mainly to the large expat community .
Sorry an investor here best believe I'm buying and building all over Santiago.
@@aim-for-greatn3z947 Santiago is still fairly pristine. I think it is definitely worth investing there before property prices start to skyrocket like in the capital.
I don't want this place to get too popular because I really want a property over there that isn't absurdly expensive 😅. I'm from Santo Domingo and I absolutely love Samaná, I dream of having a home there to stay every weekend! 🤩
And to answer your question at 18:45 , most Dominicans understand very well the importance and impact of tourism and foreign investment, foreigners aren’t the only ones investing. A lot of Dominican internal wealth is being reinvested and Dominicans who live in the US are also major investors including myself. I think the growth is great , and I’m so proud of the advancement my country has made in the last 25 years , but like the Japanese say , don’t drink too much. The growth is remarkable but we need to also think about the long term and ensure the social responsibility remains strong and is fortified even more.
Thanks for watching Luis - Anna
Very interesting Luis, we have been hearing that LT in particular has become possibly the most sought after area for tourists (buying and renting) in the Caribbean. While prices were very reasonable a few years ago the prices have been increasing. LT seems to have small micro communities within the town that feature different cultural aspects. As you said I hope that long term effects are being fully considered.
Let's not hide the "sun with a finger" a Dominican saying. Yes, development is great, however without good urban planning is disastrous and the basic in fractures that goes with it. The terrible corrupt governments of the past 20 years and continues. Dominicans have always had their beach villas in Samana and their mountain retreat in Jarabacoa, of course wealthy Dominicans, just as wealthy New Yorkers in the Hamptons or Bostonians in Martha's Vineyards. Dominicans have always invested in their country. What I don't want to happen is these massive hotels of 600 rooms, all-inclusive, only benefiting the hotel companies, leaving crumbs to the communities. Samana is a very small territory and a fragile eco-system, needs to be protected, we all know the terrible damage and greed of our politicians, have done already, is up to us to be guardians. The history of Samana goes from the French that wanted to build their "empire" port city to the US who wanted to establish a military zone but had to settle for Guantanamo.
@@louisescano3961 the hotels aren’t leaving crumbs to the community when Dominicans who work there can make hundreds of dollars in tips which is life changing. Millions of Dominicans are out of poverty because of those hotels, did every single citizen benefit equally ? No , and that is ok , it will never be perfect , as long as we keep moving forward and improving are country will be good. And all of what you’re saying is definitely discussed and recognized
@@LuisRodriguez-tm1ld You know that the service industry is the worse paid industry in general. First, most of the TOP management is not even Dominican. The benefits that this hotels companies have, with all the tax breaks, all inclusive are geared to a particular public, that pays a sum of money, in their countries and will not likely venture out. You think they are that generous to be tipping, is an all inclusive. How many of the staff is Dominican, as other industries in the country you know very well who are employed. To develop a country is through education, innovation, research. We are a rich country with talented people that have to emigrate, because of a corrupt governments that need to keep a mass population uneducated, in public assistance and given hand outs, painting themselves as demi-Gods saviors. I don't want to make this into a debate and certainly I value the amazing job of Trevor and Anna, my apologies for using your platform for this. God bless.
DR has moved up on my list thanks to you guys. I always pictured an all inclusive resort vacation (which I don’t care for) but you guys helped reframe the way i see it. Hope to visit soon! Heading to PR next month. Now I’m off to rewatch your PR food videos for recommendations! Happy for you guys ❤️
There's so much to offer here in the DR. Especially this incredible north coast. It's fantastic 😀 - Trevor
Thanks for showing the biggest side of DR which is not the "sister" country if Punta Cana that i like to call it .
I spent many years going to Las Terrenas and now I have decided to move back to my home state of Puerto Plata. Las Terrenas became too crowded and crazy. I love Playa Bonita and plan to visit with my relatives that have homes in Las Terrenas but I could not live there.
Wow I was not expecting to see Poutine in Las Terrenes! And as a Québécoise I have to say it looked pretty delicious! 😋
It was so so good! You’d think you were in Quebec but with palm trees 🌴- Anna
Las Terrenas has been more French than Dominican for the past 40 years .
Amazing , you guys should visit Santiago
2ND biggest city
It’s beautiful and it’s the real traditional culturally authentic DR
it's on the list! - Trevor
Im.currently on santiago dr and.def not as nice its kinda boring
Great to see some fellow Canadians!
Go 🇨🇦 Go! 😀
Almost at a 100K guys! Excited for you all & your journey in my mother land island, the beautiful Dominican Republic, Quisqueya La Bella!
So close now! yay! - Anna
My wife and I are heading there next week. Looking to buy. Will be our second trip. Thank you
I have all my family and friends from USA and DR watching your videos.
I’m interesting on learning how to be coming a RUclipsr but something personal just as a hobby.
I always watch your videos because I can see how happy you feel in my country. You should go to visit Bahia de las aguilas(eagles bay). virgin place now .there's not hotel yet.
We'll see if we can make it there at some point Jorge 🤗 - Anna
You'd definitely should visit other places than Terrenas otherwise it's like people who just come to Punta Cana and say they've been to the DR. The DR has beaches , sand dunes , swamps, mountains and valleys and everything is gorgeous.
Mi lugar feliz! amo las Terrenas
Getting around on ATV is literally the coolest thing.
It's the best! Easily one of our favourite things about LT 🤗 - Anna
Thanks for such an amazing video. I have heard about this area from friends as a tropical St Tropez. I love the fact it is still has its natural beauty. I just hope they keep the commercial initiatives at a minimum in the long term. Will be there in two months.
Glad the new drone arrived, Las Terrenas is amazing!
BTW, my 1st visit to Las Terrenas was back in 1980 (just a 15 year old teen) and immediately fell in love. It was a almost 4 hr trip from the capital. There was just Portillo as a resort development and you could buy 1.5 -2 acres of land beachfront for about US$10,000 (That land would cost now over US$1 million (not very smart of my dad not to buy, because to him “it was way to far” to ever develop...not long after, he “invested” 6 times that on a 600 sq meter land -no beach front- in Nagua or about half way from Cabarete to Las terrenas). Las time I was there, was 6 years ago and, from your videos, there’s definitely a real state boom👍 I hope one day to retire there🙏
Thanks for watching Edwin. This is the perfect place to retire that's for sure - Anna
Thank you. For sharing. Especially the vpn info. Have fun guys.
Questions for your next Q/A - How do you handle your cash flow (do you go to a local bank and withdraw DOP every so often?). Do you pay in cash? I am curious if you use a credit card also (asking these questions because we have been dinged exchange fees even on a more recent trip) and while all part of travel just wondering what works for you especially since you have been there for many months. Also are safe's available in your rentals and do you feel that you have adequate security (especially with your equipment). Others might have also asked these type of questions, thanks.
Thanks for the great questions!
Great question! I’m of Dominican nationality and currency exchanges are a different language to me! Lol
I just left yesterday!! I thought I might run into you guys. We walked the beach everyday for 2 weeks! It's the most beautiful place ever!!! Enjoy!!
So strange that you didn’t given how small the town is. We’re often on a beach somewhere 🏖- Trevor
Gorgeous. Looking forward to the rest of the LT series! 👏
Lots more on the way! - Trevor
Hi Trevor & Anna, I really enjoy watching your videos. Your content and narration is excellent. I would really like to see you guys go to playa Fronton again on a nice calm day. Because the weather was really bad on your last trip out there. When the ocean is calm it is really beautiful .
God bless you guys.thank you for showing me my beautiful country.I haven’t been there for over 23 years i would love to move back and enjoy it like you guys are doing
🤗
Another great video info I need thx
great to see you both. I haven't been watching for a while. I will check out more of your recent videos. Cheers!
Another great video from Trevor and Anna, thank you and keep them coming 🙏🏼🍀💕🇩🇴
Will do! Thanks - Anna
Another amazing video! Thank you so much - I’m delighted 🤗
Glad you enjoyed it! 😀
Hey guys thanks for the videos you post every week, very informative and entertaining at the same time. 👍❤️
We appreciate you watching Jose. We're glad you like our videos 😀 - Trevor
So hooked in to your videos, that when I watched the new ones twice .... lol...go back again to the travels to Poland Maldivas, Panama ect...to keep watching you... Thank you for spending time in my home country and make me feel closer ❤ from Upstate NY.
We'll be travelling a little more later this year if things stay the way they are Laury 😀 - Trevor
You guys do such a GREAT JOB on your videos! I watch other RUclipsrs from other countries where we are looking at become Expats....but your content, flow, transitions, amount of information is top notch!! Keep up the great work!!
Thanks so much Paul! 😊 That means the world to us and we're glad you find the videos helpful. So much more on the way! - Anna
I'm Dominican, raised in Las Terrenas; it is indeed changing, exponentially more so in the last 2 years than ever before. The development of it is seen differently depending on whom you ask.
The born and raised are happy to see money flowing more constantly, and the new opportunities that comes with it are also great for those struggling.. But those who came from elsewhere and found Las Terrenas don't want their "heaven on earth" to become mainstream or known..
Terrenas is a charming place, but as soon as you pack it with people (as it happens for example in Spring Break or Christmassy) it looses a lot of its charm. The town and roads were not built to withstand so many people and vehicles using it at once, and because of that, every time the town is full, it becomes chaotic in multiple ways.
Another informative video! Yes, I can absolutely see why people would want to move there. Thank you for all the great content that’s always posted 😀!
Hope you're doing great Colleen! - Anna
We are booked for Las Terrenas as well as Punta Cana, Bahyibe, and more. You will reach 100k very soon. Quality channel and great characters the both of you. Subscribed from my other channel Tony & Laura
Another great video - love the drone shots wow!! Thank you for making my Sunday evening, love watching and drinking some red thinking to be there LOL
Save us some of that red wine ;)
Omg just amaizing...as we have a snow commigs hard in London Ontario. Lol
Looks beautiful. Thanks again for sharing...great job guys. I hope you get to 100 k soon
It seems to be a bad winter in Canada this year no? Stay warm - Trevor
@@DelightfulTravellers
Yes, it has been extremely cold this year and we've had an occasional day of Spring-like weather tossed into the mix. Snowstorm today but this Thursday the weather Channel is predicting to 18°C/approximately 65°F. Weird winter weather this year but I'm so excited for Spring🌷.
Love your RUclips channel!!! xoxo
@@sjt609 I can't wait for spring either! Stay warm!
I enjoy watching you guys videos. Haven't been to DR in 16 years. Much love from NYC
Sounds like you're due for a trip back to the DR soon 😉 - Anna
I love all the content thanks for all your videos I love my country I love Samana Las Terrenas and I love you guys. 😎☀️
We love your country too. We never want to leave 🥰 - Anna
Is awesome you guys are enjoying I am from Dominican Republic and I love my country a lot. I hope you guys came enjoying
Wow!! Trevor and Anna , what gorgeous place. Oh my, I'd love to go there. No wonder people are moving there, it's unbelievable.
Paradise right Arlene? It's hard to believe places like this exist 🤗 - Anna
It is so interesting seeing you both becoming more comfortable while living in the DR (driving on the ATV etc). Love seeing the Bonita beach area. I have watched a Canadian real estate guy showing lots of beautiful villas/condos, preconstructions, etc and his favorite beach area is Bonita. The cost of food and small goods seem to be similar to NA prices in this area unless you buy further out of town. Looking forward to seeing more.
We feel completely at home here in the DR Rosie! I'm glad you can tell 😀 We'll definitely be doing more vlogging around Bonita as well 👍 - Trevor
Flying into Samana is a game changer!! We flew into Santo Domingo and the drive into Samana took a very winding 2 hours. A deal breaker when considering a return. But flying into Samana guarantees that we’ll be back!
Wao, you two are amazing! I am here in NY looking forward to be in Las Terrenas
Kid u not .. when u fly the drone , the beauty can bring me to tears !
🥰
Hi guys. Direct Toronto to Samana via air transat and WJ seasonally. I’ll be trying it in Nov/Dec!
Hope you can make it! - Anna
Guys i love your videos you guys are giving me so much inspiration i can wait to have my place finish and go to spend some time there.
Hope to see you guys there and share a coffee u and ice cream with you guys.
Stay well and safe out there.
Also maybe on your next video you can talk about how is the safety condition there please.
Exciting! When will you’re place be finished? - Anna
Almost at 100,000! So exciting. Enjoying your videos. Each one gets better and better in the DR.
We still can't believe 100k is right around the corner honestly 🤗 - Anna
@@DelightfulTravellers
Hi Anna and Trevor. I'm excited too, can't wait to see your RUclips channel go way beyond 100K❣️. I just posted a rather long message in your comment section. (1). Please let me know if that meets with your approval and (2) then please feel free to DELETE it once you've read it.
I'd love to see your numbers soar!!
Good to know about VPN’s! Thanks so much for the information!!
🤗
I’m of Dominican ethnicity and I haven’t been to the DR that many times but this will be my 3rd time and I’m going to Las Terrenas! I hear it’s wonderful!!
You're going to love this place! - Trevor
Thanks for proving pricing, I'm traveling again to Dominican republic and this is in my location to see.
Stunning!
🥰
Definitely thinking about a trip there in November 🤗
I've been watching u guys for months now, I've finally hit that subscribe button (98.6k)! We've been to Punta Cana a few times, always a hotel, next year it's time to rent a place to escape the Canadian winter thanks to your delightful insight!
Thanks for hitting that subscribe button 🤗 Good plan with coming down here for winter as well - Anna
Great video both of you we met in cabarette at Christmas I'm gonna check out los terenas next... You guys have great content keep up the good work
Thanks Doug! Are you still in Cabarete? We'll be back around that area soon enough - Trevor
@@DelightfulTravellers I'm home but maybe back in april ...thank u
Amazing video! I've been there with my husband couple of times and is our favorite place in the world. I feel in peace here. We actually bought a condo there very close to Mosquitos Hotel. I am also selling Real Estate in that area now. Already discovered great and high quality builders and communities around Las Terrenas.
Great job!! Guys!! 👏👏👏
🤗
We were there during last week in December. We are thinking of buying a two bedroom, two bathroom apartment there. We live in Miami, but loved Las Terrenas.
I just found your site and joined the paradise crowd. I've been thinking of leaving the US or most likely obtaining a 2nd residency/citizenship for the past few years. Look forward to learning about your experiences in the D.R.
Hi guys another great video. Trevor very smooth drone shooting. Excellent. Samana is a very special peninsula with amazing history from pre-colonization, amazing cave paintings, dating 5,000 years, exquisite marble quarry, Napoleon wanted to convert Samana into the port capital of the French America's empire. The blueprints are in the library of the US Congress. I worry that over development, especially without urban planning would ruin the magic of this very special corner of the world, even the giants of the north Atlantic who call it home, returning every each to birth and mate. The humpback whales.
So far so good with the new drone. We’re so happy we got to see the humpbacks as well 🤗 - Anna
Great video, I thinking a lot of about moving there for few month when summer ends in my country.
It would be such a great place to live 😀 - Trevor
a very interesting couple thank you for living and promoting our beautiful Nation 🇩🇴👍
🤗
The courtyard looks interesting and that sangria looked amazing, the beaches don't look bad either lol!
Love Samana!
This is so nice to see. I am thinking about investing in the DR but I was more leaning towards downtown Santo Domingo or
Piantini( where I was born) But I now live in Florida and I am in my 40’s and thinking about my retirement and would like it to live there. But I think I might leaning towards Las terrenas. Santo Domingo is soooo expensive right now. Wow! The amount of expats is insane and the prices have risen to another level! Hopefully Las terrenas stays like this for a while.
Great video guys, now I'm really sure that Las Terrenas is in my top places to visit and to live. Seems like a digital nomad's paradise.
Thanks... we did have some internet issues there though FYI. Cabarete had more reliable internet for working - Trevor
Rooting for your 100K!! 🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👍👍👍
So close! 😬
Not tired at all of you talking about reaching 100k subscribers!!!! Fingers crossed!,🤞🤞🤞
Thanks Janice! We’re so close - Anna
I first visited LT in 2009 and I wanted to live there then
Love the content, keep it up. If looking for pre-construction realtor in Las Terrenas, let me know. Btw, the villa in 16:23 must be close to 1Mil, change depending the lot/construction size and community located
Loving the Las Terrenas videos!! Dying that we can’t meet up lol 😫😅
Another delightful video 😄 I found LT 10 years ago. To be honest at first I didn't want to tell anyone about it...lol . It was heaven on earth for me and I didn't want to have it become like punta cana. I am happy for the growth and the income it provides to the people but keep the big resorts away please. My guess on the villa would be 850+. Question for Q&A, do you believe rentals have jacked price or lower prices because of covid? Do all of the rental places have a safe, or security of some sort? How do you secure credit cards/ cash/ passport, etc.
Thanks for those questions Kelly 👍 We can so see why you wouldn't tell folks about LT. It's a great spot - Trevor
As a fellow creator, love this content :) I'm even curious about this area for a month to escape the NYC winter some day.
It's the perfect place to escape a month of winter. LT is a such a gem 😀 Always dig your NYC vids btw Jon. So so good 🤙 - Trevor
I have flown there direct from Halifax. Don't know why they stopped that route. My favourite area of DR
I think it stopped because of Covid. I remember those flights and hope they come back 😀 - Trevor
@@geogmz8277 Can confirm... people always assume we're from TO or MON haha
They have stopped flights from Scotland too. None from U.K. to Puerto Plata. Only Punta Cana. Tried that once and still prefer the North Coast. Holidayed in DR since 1993.
Love the video! My family and I have rented a house in Las Terrenas for the first week of January. We are so excited! We would like to rent some ATVs for the week. Suggestions on where to look? Where was this ATV rented from? Do they let 18 year olds drive them?
You guys really should visit Bahia de Las Aguilas, it is the most beautiful beach in the entire country and one of the most beautiful in the world.
Guys you should do a Laguna tour. Laguna Dudu and Laguna Grigi in the same day ^^. That would be cool 👍👍👍^~^
Also in the middle of the two is Playa Grande. 👍👍👍👍👍👍
We've heard of Playa Grande but we'll have to look up the other to spots. Thanks! - Trevor
Cabrera and Río San Juan are beautiful!
Beautiful!!!
It really is! - Anna
QnA: How is the internet service?
Before I can consider a potential move, even if it’s just for a few weeks\months, I need to have good service for work.
I don’t need fiber connection but good stable speeds for web traffic and video conf calls.
Your videos rock! Keep up the great work!
Visit Matanzas, Bani on your way to Salinas one day.
Thanks for the question! We can answer that in the video. Cheers! - Trevor
Also ask about the rolling blackouts and the heat.
Those drinks looked delicious and courtyard WOW! So happy to see the epic drone shots are back! The ATV looks like so much fun! Fabulous video guys you’ve really educated us all on how stunning and how much the DR has to offer!!! ~Cara 😊
Yay drone shots are back! woohoo... We're so diggin' the ATV - Trevor
Please make a video about Sosúa night life.
Goood video guys. The DR Tourist Department should be subsidizing your stay.
Please feel free to reach out to them 😉 - Trevor
Subscribed Tony & Laura
I prefer Cabarete honestly. More to do, cheaper, closer to airports.
Good morning. First want to say I love your videos. My wife and I are living in Cabarete but are planning a trip to Las Terranus. We would like to know where you rented your ATV? Thanks in advance.
Hi Tammy... we'll back in Cabarete again soon. Can't wait! 🤗 We rented the ATV from Renegado Rent a Car - Anna
Hey Anna and Trevor! My husband and I are now in Las Terrenas too, we hope to run into you both at some point 😄
I'm sure you'll see us around the town 😀 - Trevor
@@DelightfulTravellers yeaaa we really hope so! Especially my husband, he’s been a big fan 😊❤️ and thanks for making all these great videos!
I have some high school friends who are not Dominican and they wanted to come to punta cana well, I just who them this post now they want las terrenas
Salutations from Maryland
I guess I am thinking like your Mothers too because the first thing I said (out loud lol) when I saw you on the ATV is ‘where are your helmets’
Also Anna the Color of your shirt matches the colour of some of the water there…oh those beaches
haha we're driving slow and steady I swear 🥰 - Anna
We’re coming on Wednesday! Let’s meet up and have a drink!
Say hi if you see us around 😀 - Trevor
wow absolutely beautiful i want to be there ☹️
Come visit! 🤗
Wow it looks amazing. Do you guys ever enjoy your vacation or is the camera always rolling for views? Curios
What a “bad luck” you guys have. I see did you get to see both playa Bonita lagoons (on each extreme), specially the one after punta bonita. Unfortunately, the sea was extremely rough and your viewers didn’t get to appreciate the “lagooness” type of water. You have to go back on a calm day and film again (also, I don’t know if you got about 150 mts further is my favorite spot of Las Terrenas....(A suggestion for your next trip: Playa Esmeralda, across Samana bay, where tourist take a yatch and helicopter trip from Punta Cana just to visit that “still natural” beautiful beach before they build 4 big resorts this coming year). Good luck and thanks for promoting my beautiful country👍🙏🇩🇴😊
I hope Las Terrenas can stay delightful. A little growth can be great. Too much is. . .well, not delightful. It all looks wonderful right now.
Wonderfull
The excess of spa and residential ends up harming the locals, since free public access to the beaches has been reduced and in some cases eliminated, due to the fact that the spas and private projects restrict public access to the beaches.
It's both a good thing and a bad thing depending on how you look at it. On one side it's bad for Dominicans because they are losing free access to their own beaches. But on the other hand, privatizing the beaches can be a plus for the environment. Private beaches tend to be much cleaner and better maintained. Unfortunately many Dominicans are careless and lack education, they litter trash on public beaches which has dire consequences for the ocean and the environment. Some public beaches throughout the country look a hot mess and are filthy.
Hi guys great video I have been planning to move and buy some property there since last year November I locked down a villa in the Carson Beach area just waiting for the seller to process some tax issues he owes with the government and should be there by April. Already my property has increased in value great investment hope to see you guys in April on the beach stay safe and take care always
And this is why you need to meet me ,past that river and after a short walk past the hill you would have discovered playa escondida
Close.....
Would love to live there And I'm very curious to find out how much that condo was on the beach
Great video guys 👍👍 For the ATV what way does it work? Did you need to have a credit card for the deposit or can we leave a cash deposit with them
Playa bonita looks way better after June if you make until then you will the difference, .. btw I've been using surfshark for 2 years already I love it and very affordable
Noted.. guess we're coming back in June ;)
