Subject to change

The weather in Dominican Republic remains tropical year round, with slight variations dividing it into basically two seasons, summer and winter. The average annual temperature is around 25° (77°F).

Average Daily Temperature

These temperatures are in Celsius (Average High is 87o F, Average Low is 73oF )

Cool season

The so-called "cool" season is from November to April, with what is considered pleasantly warm weather, relatively low humidity and low precipitation. On the coast, i.e. near the beaches, the temperature hovers fairly constantly around 29°C (84°F) during the day and drops to around a comfortable 20°C (68°F) at night.

Hot season

The more "hot" season is roughly from May to October. Then, the average temperature rises to 31°C (87°F) during the daytime and drops to about 22°C (72°F) at night. However, with the accompanying high humidity that is more common during this season, it usually feels much hotter. It does rain a bit more often during this season, especially from May to August, but usually this turns out to be no more than a 30 minute tropical (sometimes heavy) shower.

Rainy season from November and mid-January

Mosquitos are really not a problem at this location due to the breeze from the river and only clean nature around. In the city it is worst! The bedrooms have all screens in the windows, if you maintain the door closed you have no problems. If you wish we can provide a mostquito net, no problem. The only time when you have more mosquitos is when the sun goes down for about one hour, when there is less breeze, especially if there is rain in the air.

Long pants are required for riding. Please, no sandals. Riding helmets and Beach Towels are provided.

Don’t forget toiletries, any medicines you usually take, eye drops, Aspirin, anti-inflammatory ointments for insect bites; medicines for fever and stomach illnesses.
