I just came from playa rincón so unfortunate you guys found it in that condition. I went to the right side and it’s definitely one of the most beautiful beaches I’ve ever seen. Crystal clear water and the temp was perfect.
Hey guys I'm going here in a little over a week ok and I'm wondering about getting a motorcycle like you did what kinda lisence do you need I drive a car and van back home in ireland so but no bike ??
***Playa Rincón /Caño Frío has been ranked one of the best secluded beaches on the planet .Now because of the Sargassum encroachment it's unrecognizable.Rincon means "cornered"--so when you get the strong currents from the tropical storms the algae gets funneled into the bay .🌴🌴 Beauty of the crystalline river .--Thanks for the video.🌊🌊🐟🙏
Thank you for an objective review of these incredibly beautiful beach. Unfortunately, Sargassum does not affective Dominican Rep. only, but the entire Caribbean region. I've heard mentions of the local government taking innovative initiatives to curb the built up of sargassum and use it for other purposes such as energy, fertilizer, etc. I've been to this beach before and it was nothing like the before. The Samana peninsula is by far one of the most beautiful places in the entire Caribbean.
Its a pity that we the Caribean zone had this salgazo everywhere, the beautiful beaches get horrible and stinky, at least there is a river with pristine water beautiful colors and mangles im glad you find good places to enjoy, its pretty similar ro my island Puerto Rico 🇵🇷 thanks for sharing again!!
Many beaches in Cancun, Playa del Carmen and Tulum have put up sargasm barriers this year and a lot of beachfront hotels have cleaning crews that remove it twice a day, but it is still a big problem
This river was just too beautiful. Love the bike videos, it gives viewers that special feeling. Sargassum seaweed can last up till September. Don't go near it if you have asthma. Obrigada pelo video.
So happy I found your channel a few weeks ago! I absolutely love the cinematography and your calm style of vlogging filled with so much information. I was really looking forward to this video of Rincon beach as this is somewhere we have actually been to. Sad about the sargassum but loved your exploration of the River. Will definitely have to check that out if we are ever in that area again. Thank you and Hi from 🇨🇦
Aah yes, the downside of vacationing during the off-season (rainy/stormy) in the tropics -- rough surf, no sun, piles of dead stinking seaweed, etc. Love the drone shots. Shots of Carol swimming are always appreciated. Hiking/exploring/riding motorbike in flip-flops, injury waiting to happen. But downsides often make a more interesting video.
We all need to consume a lot less and save our beaches and planet! I wish would have more bulk stores to be able to have less plastic! I love your fun videos! Thank you for showing that we need to change it!
I like to see my country through foreign eyes. I hope you enjoyed it. The good things are more than the bad things. They have gotten a new follower. 🇩🇴
I was last feburary/march 2020 in las galeras. There was no sargassum at all. I visited also playa rincon. It was completely clean and beautifull. Water of the sea very blue and clear. New information for me, that there is a problem with sargassum! So I was lucky.
Some days are a bust when you are beach explorers... seaweed, jellyfish, algae blooms, heavy surf, river run-off, high winds, and torrential rains are just a few of the things that can turn a beach day into a bust.
actually we have a lot of clear rivers, to mention a few: Muchas Aguas , charco, Cambita, Los cacaos en Nisao, el Tabernaculo todos en San Cristobal; Rio Partido en Salcedo (one of my fav); Los 27 charcos de Damajagua, Rio Sonador, Casacadas las Golondrinas, Cola de pato, Cueva la Virgen. Those are the ones I've been, there are more... breath taking the only problem is that basically its imposble to go by your self, you have to go on tours.
Hiya, road trip on a bike. Always good vibes with you two. In every video, you take us along to the most beautiful places. To be traveling anywhere. I would love it right now. So it is always so lovely to watch your adventures. Thank you for sharing. Have a great weekend. Take care. Safe travels.
Hello guys. The color of the water is so beautiful. I greet you both and I thank you you make the videos people can see in all world. Coca cola must be. Its akways good in hot days.
sargassum is no fun! It's become necessary to find out how the beaches are before travelling, esp. in the last 5-10 years. People blame runoff from deforestation, rising sea temperatures and other things for this increasing problem. Here in Texas they use heavy equipment to clean the popular beaches on a near daily basis, but that's not an option on an island.
Great video guys but shame about the sargassum, at least you had that beautiful river to swim in, that last pool you swam in looked liked the best one and you had it all to yourselves. That breaded fish looked very tasty and the location of that restaurant was in a nice spot with great views of the sea. Thanks again Chris and Carol, all the best to you both. ❤
the awesome shoot of the beaches and the river. that brings me to THE MASTER shot of this video. @16:32 carol swimming underwater, looks straight out of the Hollywood films, wherein the heroine does the swimming, and of course, carol is your beautiful heroine right Chris?
Going along the river by boat, especially when there are not many people doing it at the same time, it’s a wonderful experience. Almost like a meditation 💜
Hello, just started watching a few months ago... and absolutely LOVE such high-quality, clean, family-friendly, and decent videos about my beautiful Quisqueya, "Quisqueya La Bella". Would you consider going back and visiting other places in DR again? Thanks so much for sharing!!
Después de ver sus videos en playas de Baja California Sur, es una suerte que no tengamos el problema del sargaso como en la Riviera Maya... es una pena que también en República Dominicana tengan ese problema... aún así ustedes se las arreglan para disfrutar del viaje y eso es muy bueno, saludos desde México 💗
Beautiful video my friend, I loved seeing it! It reminded me of our 2018 vacation in Punta Cana. I know what a beach full of seaweed and the smell of fermentation is like.😄 Unfortunately, Bavaro beach was just like that. 😑 We did like you, we went to explore other zones.🙂 And the trip to Saona Island "saved" the vacation. 😊 Greetings from Portugal
Such a pity that Playa Rincon looks like this now. I was wondering how it would be there. Thx for sharing this . It will help people to avoid some disappointments in travelling.
Jumping places Team, Thank you so much for your enthusiasms and dedication in bringing the audience great videos. Hopefully , I will be visiting Las Galeras very soon. Thanks for the information and tips. Keep having fun and keep up the outstanding job!!
the sargassum is really an issue. Global warming + runoff from the amazon river into the Atlantic are causing it explode in quantity and damage the Caribbean beaches :(
I can't believe sargassum is still an issue in summer of 2021 because three years ago it ruined our vacation in cancun and I prayed nature fixed itself but appearance not yet. still yall swam in a nice river. thanks for the vid
TH-cam is giving me problems and I am and I am having a hard time. I love your romantic dinner, the river, the drone footage, and Carol telling you it was not a smooth ride< love that one Carol haha. the beach was nasty as is the beaches here in the northern Yucatan. Have fun and we are still here and hope to get to see the next adventure. take my friends and be safe. god bless🙏🏼👍🏼🌞
People who work at the beach clean it every morning, but only a few work there and it is so hard for them to clean the whole beach and it gets messy again the next morning
Damn a real paradise, I cant wait for Brazil episodes, so much has changed since I was last there...stay cool,stay healthy and let me know if that Ashwagandha helped.
Hey there, so I didn’t take the ashwagandha on our travels so I don’t know how effective it is but there seems to be lots of studies that confirm it helps for anxiety. The majority of my anxiety comes from having gut issues so now that I have that more under control I automatically have less anxiety.
Caribbean has been affected for years now.Sometimes you can smell the sea weeds far from the beach.Some people living near the shore have left their home.
If you ever find yourself in Northern New York State USA in the summer, do not miss Alexandria Bay on the St Lawrence River. The water is deep and crystal clear and yes c c cold but refreshing. It is the border with Canada and the region is called Thousand Islands. I think you'll find the water as clear if not more so than the little river in DR. Thousand Islands are really a must see.
The Bea he's on the north coast have been this way since I was there in December. I was just in Las Terrenas two weeks ago and Punta Cana last week. It was the same.
Carol looks about 14 years old with that helmet on. Remember that for when you get old Carol! Also, too bad that sargassum(?) can not be turned into food or fuel. As usual, awesome video of a beautiful place.
There’s little fish in the water there cute and small and I like the playa de rincón because I could open my eyes in the water and when I swim I fell lie I’m free in the water I love it there I been going back a lot or sometimes
Too bad you could not enjoy the beach in Rincon but the river is always the high point anyway. My wife and I have been going there since the 90s before access was so easy. We never walked along that trail to go up river so you've seen something we haven't.
Omg all of the was that I go there with my family I was there or a been there when I was born my dad loves that playa oh and I love it there I been going there one by one when I’m growing up and I miss Dominican and u have to try the coconut water it’s goood but good good and it had that when the little brown things when I came back but I had fun so much fun and when u get out of the playa u we’ll be knocked out u we’ll be sleeping but a good sleep ❤
At the beginning of 2021 I spent 2 months in Grand Cayman shooting a TV show, and the sargassum problem was horrible. Hopefully things will normalize soon, because no matter how much you clean, it keeps coming and coming.
Sorry I know I already commented lol, but... That river was so so clear, that the boat that those people went by on looked like it was floating on air!!!
What a pity you weren't able to enjoy Playa Rincon. Had never seen it with that much sargazo but it is high season for it. It's a shame, this beach is usually gorgeous and it's so secluded you can really enjoy swimming and exploring. At least you enjoyed cano Frio. Hope the rest of your trip in Samana is better. In the South bahia de Las Aguilas would be an excellent spot. The water is superb and clear. Enjoy your stay.
Playa Dominicus in Bayahibe didn't have a problem with seaweed/sargassum when we went last year and was a beautiful beach. However, we heard Punta Cana had a huge problem last year.

I love this. Beautiful jungle. Crystal clear water. Marvelous music.
Many beaches in Cancun, Playa del Carmen and Tulum have put up sargasm barriers this year and a lot of beachfront hotels have cleaning crews that remove it twice a day, but it is still a big problem
Love the music in this one so peaceful and relaxing to match the beach vibes
This river was just too beautiful. Love the bike videos, it gives viewers that special feeling. Sargassum seaweed can last up till September. Don't go near it if you have asthma. Obrigada pelo video.
The river is probably one of the most beautiful things we have seen on our travels 😍 thanks for the tip regarding the sargassum 👍
What the name of this river please ??

You two are greats, thanks a lot to show all these beauties of natures.
I like to see my country through foreign eyes. I hope you enjoyed it. The good things are more than the bad things. They have gotten a new follower. 🇩🇴
You are so fortunate to be able to travel in such remote splendid places during this pandemic! 🌊⛵
Extremely fortunate!
Pandemic, sure 🤦🏼♀️
More like Wackdemic
you mean plandemic
Which pandemic ?
Thanks for visiting my country(DR), I hope that got all the best experience. TYSM
Thanks for the video. Love the fact that you guys do your own type of tourism. Muchas gracias y saludos desde la Republica Dominicana.
Great video. I would love to see a video comparing the Dominican Republic to the Philippines as you have spent extensive time in both.
Great video guys.....keep them coming!!
The river is beautiful❣️
Beautiful aerial of that paradise Las Galeras. Nice great posting. Thanks for a beautiful tour.

Hello guys. The color of the water is so beautiful. I greet you both and I thank you you make the videos people can see in all world. Coca cola must be. Its akways good in hot days.
Okay, if you are going to remain in the D.R. then go to Bahia de las Aguilas in Pedernales (close to the border with Haiti).
I enjoy your videos so much. Thanks for the chill vibes
GOD be with both of you always.

It Mr Crabs Patrick is a star fish.....love the videos
I like how Carol always drinks a Coke with her meals. It's the anti-food poisoning drink!
Después de ver sus videos en playas de Baja California Sur, es una suerte que no tengamos el problema del sargaso como en la Riviera Maya... es una pena que también en República Dominicana tengan ese problema... aún así ustedes se las arreglan para disfrutar del viaje y eso es muy bueno, saludos desde México 💗
We mis you both,..love frm the philippines💓
Whata beautiful river area!
That place was a dream!

Greetings from Portugal
It’s STUNNING 🌴🌴
Kudos. U guys are living a dream, wel, others only dream of. Keep rocking. Hope u guys start a mountain tour around the world too, pretty soon🙂
We are craving something other than beaches for sure! Some time in the mountains would be perfect 👌
Beautiful places,so amazing.👍👍👍
Such a pity that Playa Rincon looks like this now. I was wondering how it would be there. Thx for sharing this . It will help people to avoid some disappointments in travelling.
maybe in 4 month will be clean again
Is clean now
Love your videos. Checking in from Paradise, Newfoundland, Canada
Hey mate punta cana is so beautiful💯 but it's a little touristy but beautiful non the less. Good luck on your travels 👍🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
Ooooooo !! Sooo beautiful ! We love you guys .. the views are excellent .. I wanna go!! :)
Jumping places Team, Thank you so much for your enthusiasms and dedication in bringing the audience great videos. Hopefully , I will be visiting Las Galeras very soon. Thanks for the information and tips. Keep having fun and keep up the outstanding job!!
Beautiful experience for both, stay safe and healthy
the sargassum is really an issue. Global warming + runoff from the amazon river into the Atlantic are causing it explode in quantity and damage the Caribbean beaches :(
Oh Guys, i like you soo much... your thoughts, your relationships, the way you look and your choice of music are all perfect. Thank you

The river was amazing. They need to clean the sargassum regularly as it literally takes over. Thanks for sharing.😎
People who work at the beach clean it every morning, but only a few work there and it is so hard for them to clean the whole beach and it gets messy again the next morning
muy bonito video saludos desde Republica Dominicana
#JumpingPlaces I’m just rediscovering my lovely country with your videos. 💯💞🤝👏🏼🇩🇴

Idk why but when she was riding the scooter and you were in the back it reminded me of rio( the movie
Beautiful nature
Sure is!
Nossa, que lugar lindo.Obrigada por nós proporcionar essas imagens lindas.🙏🏽🙏🏽
Wow this is a lot about 4 years ago I was at this beach, it was beautiful zero sargassum
Even the river look good nice and clear.
you need to go to the nort , jamao the river and puerto plata ..its in the way .. beautifull beach cavarete. sosua playa dorada .. ect.. . ..
Caribbean has been affected for years now.Sometimes you can smell the sea weeds far from the beach.Some people living near the shore have left their home.

You made it to playa rincon 🙌 sad to see it looking like this. I was there in April of 2021 and was clean.
The Bea he's on the north coast have been this way since I was there in December. I was just in Las Terrenas two weeks ago and Punta Cana last week. It was the same.
Another great video. Thank you. I liked the beautiful river.
Music, drone and Carol....muito bem....Obrigado Pulando Locais....
Watching this video brought back some good memories. Hopefully you can visit Las Terrenas. The beaches are amazing there.
Videos from las Terrenas coming soon 👍
Carol looks about 14 years old with that helmet on. Remember that for when you get old Carol! Also, too bad that sargassum(?) can not be turned into food or fuel. As usual, awesome video of a beautiful place.
Just came back from Aruba🏝️ looking for some new tips for nee destinations thanks !
There’s little fish in the water there cute and small and I like the playa de rincón because I could open my eyes in the water and when I swim I fell lie I’m free in the water I love it there I been going back a lot or sometimes
Love the sound of sea waves ❤
Too bad you could not enjoy the beach in Rincon but the river is always the high point anyway. My wife and I have been going there since the 90s before access was so easy. We never walked along that trail to go up river so you've seen something we haven't.
What an awesome little spot to have lunch 👍🏻
Waaao, that is so beautiful, I always want to go dere when I go to my country of vacation and never can't go OMG 🤦♀️🙈 so enjoy my country.
Always put Carols picture with "the good" option! :)
Beautiful!!
Omg all of the was that I go there with my family I was there or a been there when I was born my dad loves that playa oh and I love it there I been going there one by one when I’m growing up and I miss Dominican and u have to try the coconut water it’s goood but good good and it had that when the little brown things when I came back but I had fun so much fun and when u get out of the playa u we’ll be knocked out u we’ll be sleeping but a good sleep ❤
At the beginning of 2021 I spent 2 months in Grand Cayman shooting a TV show, and the sargassum problem was horrible. Hopefully things will normalize soon, because no matter how much you clean, it keeps coming and coming.
I am glad you went to playa rincon
Sorry I know I already commented lol, but... That river was so so clear, that the boat that those people went by on looked like it was floating on air!!!
I am from India, really amazing nice brother God bless you
Thanks! We need to get back to india 👍

Awww Beautiful River Jumping Places 👍👋👌✌️🙏
So similar to Thailand and Bali 😊
That is very unusual. Usually they are on top of the beaches.
We've had it in Rhode Island too. I stepped in some and ruined a new pair of sneakers.
Playa Dominicus in Bayahibe didn't have a problem with seaweed/sargassum when we went last year and was a beautiful beach. However, we heard Punta Cana had a huge problem last year.
Love your content guys! 🙌
Wow soo beautiful!!!
I love my country is so beautiful cant wait to retire there... If you go to Las terrenas Samana that area is more tourist lots of mansions and villas
We miss you from the philippines 🇵🇭
Missed you guys
