Welcome to Kitexcite Paragliding- First paragliding center in the Carribean!

Most people are surprised when they hear about paragliding in the Dominican Republic. The fact is that this island has much more to offer than the white sand beaches and coconuts which made it famous. In the center of the Island, mountains reach over 3000 meters and the record flight in Dominican Republic was set this year with a 117 km flight over three turn points!!! With around 20 flying spots offering all kind of flights, from smooth coastal soaring to big Cross Country flights in the mountains, the Dominican Republic is about to become the ultimate paragliding destination in the caribbean.

Kitexcite offers paragliders from all around the world the opportunity to discover our island from the sky. If you want to get airborn in the Caribbean you are just at the right place. We offer all services you might need from lessons and equipment rental to flying holidays .

Experienced and intermediat pilots might join one of our guided tours and enjoy the best flying holidays you can imagine. We will take you through the "Cordillera Central" to the south of the country where you will enjoy great flying and experiment the real dominican way of life.

For begginers, we offer a range of different learn to fly options. We can also tailor the courses to suit your needs and wants. The following is a brief description of what's on offer, if you have any questions feel free to drop us a line, just click the contact button.

Full equipment is provided for all courses. We recommend ankle supportive footwear and since most of the day is spent out in the sun suitable precautions should be taken such as plenty to drink, hat, sunscreen etc. Paragliding only requires a basic level of fitness and health, similar to what is required to drive a car. If you would like to book one of these courses or have any questions you can contact us by either e-mail or phone.

So what's the link between paragliding and kiteboarding? Basically paragliding is an exciting outdoor activity that is most enjoyable in light or no wind conditions while kiteboarding offers the same excitement levels when the wind gets ber.

The dynamics of how the two sports work is also similar which often means "pilots" can easily cross from one sport to the other. Add to this the fact that the Dominican Republic has so much coast and reliable Trade Winds and you start to get the idea!

Initiation to paragliding on Kitebeach!!! One critical issue about learning paragliding is to find the right spot. Big landing field, free of obstacle launch and calm air. We have all that, right in front of our school, this is called Kitebeach. This is it, we will teach you right on the beach, using our towing system to pull you up to altitudes from 100 to 1'800 feet. Take off, gain altitude while our boat tows you up, release the tow line and fly back to the beach. This is the safest way of teaching we can think about, no need to run down the hill, no turbulences as you will be flying over the water in perfectly calm air and tons of space for landing. Find out what it is all about in our new video:

We are now working on 2 winch systems for towing Paragliders up here over Cabarete!
Yes the time has come! After a long wait, we finally received the payout winch system lent to Kitexcite by the Dominican Free Flying Association (VLD). The device is now installed in our rescue boat. Basically this system allows us to release 800 meters of rope with a constant pressure in order to tow up paragliders over Cabarete Bay. We already realized several flights reaching heights until 600 meters. From now on be certain that there will be no more such things as boring no-wind days. As soon the wind goes under 8 knots our paragliding instructor gets ready for action... Launch from the beach, tow up to maximum altitude and then just release the tow line and fly down freely... As for kitesurfing different styles are possible from a smooth glide enjoying the amazing view over Cabarete to a full speed spiral dive and some aerobatic tricks. In the next days (as soon the wind let us do so) we will be getting ready for towing up tandem paragliders which means everyone will be able to join our instructor for a flight as a passenger. No particular experience or knowledge will be needed for this. So just get prepared to experience the feeling of being a bird flying freely over our tropical paradise.
