I really want to check out the extreme sporting of DR.

where should I go?

the buggies sound good, n i keep hearing about parasailing, but how about hang gliding n other such activities?

Do a google search for "extreme sports+Dominican Republic" without quote marks and you will get a lot of hits. Check them over to see what is available and where.

Check out http://www.dr1.com/directories/tourism/baiguate.shtml

These people hosted the Marlboro Adventure Team (extreme sports) and are hosting the Mountain Bike competitions for the Pan Am Games.

Parasailing, I believe, is offered at major beaches. You can book at your hotel. I believe they have it in Punta Cana and Playa Dorada. Probably some other board member could confirm this.

thanks for the link. this is a more family orientated service it seems. it wouldn't be the right one for me, but I'm going to check it out nonetheless.

Try http://drpure.com this is by far the best site for extreme sports in the DR.
