Are water sports available during the Easter holiday?
Easter is a major holiday for Dominicans – for them it is the beginning of summer and they all head to the beach for the holiday. Because of this, motorized watersports and sometimes all watersports are banned during this time (during the week leading up to and including the holiday), purely for safety reasons. Sometimes even motorized vehicles are prohibited in certain areas during this time. The President on the DR usually makes an announcement a couple of weeks before Easter, outlining what the bans are and the areas affected. This seems to vary from year to year, and I can provide no specific information on what will be available and what will not be available. If you’re a watersports lover, it might not be a good idea to visit the DR during this time.
