Edit

Punta Cana is famous for its white beaches and crystal water, it’s a real paradise. Mainly two wind seasons – December to March and July & August. Lunch and land the kite in the designated area. All kiters should register before riding (registration is free).

Wind

Better wind in the morning or in the late afternoon/evening.

Dangers

Coral reef, people swimming

It is your responsibility to check whether kitesurfing is allowed at the spot; you might need a 'special permit' or membership from a local kite organization, etc. Local rules can change. Respect others - kiters or not; kite safely and enjoy the wind!
