Eco-Surfing Dominicana

Eco-Surfing Dominicana is based at Encuentro Beach, the stretch just east of Cabarete's main strip known for more consistent, learner-friendly waves. The outfit is connected to FUNDATO (Fundacion Terra-Oceanica), a local nonprofit whose mission is protecting the Sosua-Cabarete marine strip while promoting eco-sports, so lessons here also put money toward reef and beach conservation work in the area.

Surf lessons run as roughly 3-hour sessions and are described as suitable for kids as well as adults, structured as two separate lessons plus an introduction to the Encuentro break itself. Beyond surfing, the operator also offers kitesurf instruction, diving and snorkelling, paddleboarding, and day tours to Punta Rucia, Montecristi and La Isabela, worth asking what else they can put together if you're staying a while.

On TripAdvisor it holds a 5.0 rating from a small number of reviews, and write-ups name instructors including Eric Franco, described as a well-known local surfer, alongside Angel Compres. Confirm current pricing, group sizes and the exact meeting point when you book.
