Samana is a good 3.5 to 4hour drive from La Romana port!

For things to do nearer La Romana port look at...
http://www.carnival.com/Activities/ in the left hand column choose Port of Call: La Romana, Dominican Republic

Also take a look on Trip Advisor under both the Attractions and Tours tabs http://www.tripadvisor.com/Attractio..._Republic.html

Ok, then here are a few of the reputable, independent tours available:

Bayahibe SUP (Stand Up Paddle Boarding) http://bayahibesup.com/

Seavis Tours (trips to Saona) http://www.seavisbayahibe.com/

Bayahibe Fishing (also do trips to Saona) http://www.bayahibefishingcentre.com...and-excursion/

Wild Ranch Canopy (zipline) http://www.wildranchcanopy.com/

For customer reviews of those companies see the link to Trip Advisor in my previous post.

You won't be able to visit Samana or Las Galeras if you dock at La Romana, as it is too far away.
