Take a break from your ship, hop on a comfortable coach and embark on a pleasant 30-minute drive down to the picturesque fishing village of Bayahibe in the southeast of the Dominican Republic and the 5-star beach resort that will host your day of sun, sea and sand. Whether you choose to relax poolside, take a refreshing dip or prefer the fine sandy beach area with the turquoise water beyond, you can be sure of having a fabulous time. Take a gentle stroll along the beach, then bag yourself a sun bed and order a tropical cocktail from the hotel’s open bar as you soak up the hot Dominican sun. For your safety and comfort, you are recommended to wear high-factor sunscreen. Your beach experience comes to a leisurely close with your return to La Romana and the ship.

If time permits, a further stop will be made at the sandbar known as “the natural swimming pool” for a leisurely dip in the extremely calm water. Your tour concludes with an equally scenic return trip to your ship.

  Situated only a short drive from the port lies one of the most picturesque attractions in the Dominican Republic, the village of Altos de Chavón. This recreation of a medieval European village, inspired by the imagination of a former Hollywood film set designer, sits atop a plateau overlooking the enchanting Chavón River. As you stroll through the narrow, cobbled streets, the illusion of being transported back to a bygone age will be extremely convincing. Next to some beautiful Mediterranean-style architecture, the village also boasts a 5,000-seater open-air amphitheatre perched on the edge of a canyon as well as the pretty St. Stanislaus church, which you will have a chance to view from the outside. After some free time, your return trip will take you past the Regional Archaeological Museum & Wowen Art Workshop as well as the School of Design.

Purpose-built to ensure maximum passenger comfort and safety, these 8-wheeler, all-terrain trucks promise a bird’s eye view of the world at a height of 15 feet. Accompanied by experienced guides, the tour will take you to see the unspoiled countryside of the Dominican Republic, one of the two nations on the beautiful island of Hispaniola. An open bar on the truck adds to the fun of exploring out-of-the-way landscapes, fording rivers, driving through sugarcane fields and discovering small villages on the way. This hands-on tour will also give you a chance to mingle with the friendly locals and meet some of the children attending one of the schools sponsored by the Monster Truck School Foundation. Your adventure tour of the Dominican Republic comes to a close with your return to the port and your ship.

  After leaving the port, an air-conditioned coach will first take you on a pleasant 30-minute drive to the Cueva de las Maravillas  - the Cave of Miracles – which is situated roughly midway between the seaside resorts of La Romana and San Pedro de Macoris. A happy coincidence saw a group of boy scouts (re-)discover the caves in 1926, since when much development work has made a significant portion of the much larger cave complex accessible to the public. The caves are not only home to stalactites and stalagmites as well as a crystal-clear underground pool, but also – and perhaps most importantly – to a large number of ancient and almost perfectly preserved rock paintings left by the island’s native Taíno people. Neither photography nor videoing is permitted in the caves. The next leg will see you re-board the coach and head for the factory of Agio Cigars, an internationally renowned manufacturer that is famous for its exquisite hand-rolled cigars. Prepare to be amazed at the deftness and lightning speed with which the factory workers roll these cigars. Then it’s on to the lovely seaside town of San Pedro de Macoris, which was founded in the early 19th century by European immigrants and then boomed in the early 20th century when the price of sugar soared on the market. During the 30-minute drive back to the port, a stop will be made for you to do some shopping.
