does anyone happen to know whether there's a place to buy...

snorkeling gear in Las Terrenas?

one of those folding, ultra-portable backpacking stools or chairs, anywhere in the DR? (I imagine you can get normal folding chairs in a lot of places, but I'm thinking of the really small, lightweight ones.)

if the answer is "no, there's not," that would be helpful to know too.

Thanks!

I feel your pain. There is the Yuan store, where you will find chairs that collapse and slide into a carrying case with a shoulder strap. I searched the entire downtown LT for chairs for guests. I asked everywhere. I am not sure if you want to contact Amazon. I found lightweight beach sand chairs that fit in my suitcase.

Cheers!

No pain so far ... I have not yet begun to shop (aside from keeping an eye out during Jumbo runs).

Just looking for ways to extend my outdoor time really. And planning a day trip to Las Terrenas sometime soon. LT seems to have more dive- and snorkel-oriented shops than Samana city. And having recently tried a snorkel boat tour 🤢, I am highly motivated to explore snorkel-from-shore options.

Thanks for the tips!
