    Ok, I know this thread is over a year old but the list is interesting.
    Can you go into further details about the list.
    I will be in the Sosua area in February and I want to get out and go places as well.

    I originally made the list but just copied it from another site. I will try and expand on some of them.

    1. Explore the Zona Colonial in Santo Domingo.
    (To far, but historically interesting)
    2. Admire the ruins of La Vega Vieja.
    (2+ hours from Sosua, never been there)
    3. Hike up Pico Duarte
    (To far, unless hiking is your thing)
    4. Wavesurf and windsurf in Cabarete.
    (Very Close, cool for doing it, watching it, or picking up chicas)
    5. Watch humpback whales off the coast of Samana.
    (January 15th-March 15th and VERY COOL, bring a chica and they will rape you afterwards, it's very sexually stimulating watching wild animals mating themselves, about 2 hours from Sosua)
    6. Wonder through the "Tropical Plantation" in Hato Mayor province.
    (way far away, never been there)
    7. Be a kid again at Columbus Aquapark.
    (This one is in SD I think but Santiago has a water park and I believe there is a small one in Puerto Plata)
    8. See pre-historic creatures in a pre-historic sap at the Amber Museum.
    (Close in Puerto Plata)
    9. Enjoy sweeping views via the Teleferico in Puerto Plata.
    (Close again but not sure if you want to go up a cable car maintained by Dominicans! See other posts about this wonder)
    10. Feed wild sharks and be amaze at Ocean World.
    (Close in Puerto Plata but been called a total ripoff, bring a chica and look at $150+ fun)
    11. Go back to 16th Century Italy at Altos de Chavon.
    (To far, down in la Romana, never been there)
    12. Relax and enjoy nature at the Jardin Botanico Nacional.
    (To far in SD, but very nice)
    13. Pay respect to the almighty at the Basilica de La Altagracia
    (Down by SD)
    14. Life's a beach at Boca Chica.
    (You have the beach in Sosua, BC has a better beach (sand & water) but WAY WORSE atomsphere)
    15. See Columbus up close and personal at the Faro a Colon.
    (In SD)
    16. Drive down the scenic Barahona coast.
    (Way far)
    17. Row through ancient thick mangroves at the Los Haitises National Park.
    (1-2 hours, never done it)
    18. Go to heaven in Isla Saona.
    (To far, La Romana)
    19. Meet the fishes by snorkeling off the coast of Isla Catalina.
    (To far, see above)
    20. Dance away your worries at the Merengue Festival.
    (You just missed it, late November in Puerto Plata)
    21. Go wild during Carnaval in La Vega.
    (I recommend Santiago but won't be until March this year)
    22. Whitewater raft the mighty Yaque del Norte River.
    (not sure where you can do this but the river is 1-2 hours away depending on where along the river you go)
    23. Be amazed by the charming beauty sorrounding the Presa Hatillo.
    (3+ hours, see cave panitings, never been there)
    24. Experience a wild west type town in Monte Cristi.
    (2+ hours, can take Caribe Tours there, never been there)
    25. Have a ball and dodge the bats (LOL) at the Guacara Taina Discotheque!
    (In SD)
    26. Explore the authentic and laidback Dominican "campos".
    (Well to some people Sosua & Puerto Plata are the Campo, but easy to find)
    27. See the barracks of Ponce de Leon in Boca de Yuma.
    (Way far away, never been there)
    28. A cigar a day, keeps the doctors away at the Aurora Cigar Factory!
    (2+ hours, been to other factories, interesting tour)
    29. Visit the Dominican version of the Alps in San Jose de Ocoa!
    (Way far)
    30. See the unexplained at the Polo Magnetico.
    (Way Far)
    31. Drive through paradise on the Carretera Turistica.
    (paradise or hellroad? You Decide, it's another name for the much talked about "Mountain Road between Sosua & Santiago")
    32. A Hollywood movies type of marketplace at Mercado Modelo.
    (SD I think, Santiago has modern movie plexes & so does Playa Dorado)
    33. High culture shopping and people watching at Plaza Central.
    (Do that in any city, of course bigger the city = more people)
    34. Impress the kids at the Acuario Nacional.
    (SD)
    35. Learn something new at the Plaza de la Cultura.
    (SD)
    36. See the exotic at the humanely impressive Zoologico Nacional.
    (SD)
    37. Experience nature at Parque Nacional del Este.
    (Way Far)
    38. Admire the Taino legacy at the El Pomier Caves.
    (Way Far)
    39. Nature at its best at Salto El Limon in Samana.
    (2+ hours, never been there)
    40. Go mountain biking in forever perfect Jarabacoa.
    (2+ hours, Jimmy did it! Or was that horse riding, same place though)
    41. Respect the heros at the Monumento in Santiago.
    (Then return at night and smoke & drink with loud reggaeton pumping out of SUVs and young chicas dancing sexy)
    42. Where does Tobacco comes from? Check it out at the Museo del Tabaco.
    (Similar to Cigar tours, 2 hours)
    43. Cueva "Fun Fun" - self explained.
    (????)
    44. Colorful buildings in colorful settings at colorful Otra Banda.
    (SD, I think)
    45. Hungry for a greyhound dog race? Head for the Canodromo!
    (SD)
    46. Make a hole in one at the beautiful Guavaberry Golf Course (good luck!).
    (Not sure where, but plenty of golf courses on the north coast, 15 mins to 2 hours away)
    47. See the first of the first at the La Isabela Ruins.
    (1-2 hours away)
    48. Check out the view at the Santo Cerro!!!
    (????)
    49. Fabulously interesting at the Centro Cultural Leon E. Jimenez

    WoW! Thank you DT! Very impressive list.
    I spent a good portion of the day going over the list and researching them online. I now have a 'Top Five' places to see for my trip.
    I especially like line no. 5, watching the whales mating and this is a BIG turn-on for the ladies?
    Thank you for the update.

    Challenge yourself,

    See how many continuous days you can drink heavily while not eating a bite.

    Try to beat your own record of having the most toda-la-noches in one night, then wake up alone. Granted this one is exspensive, but alot of fun

    Thank you DT.
    I'm sure this List can be updated every now and then. This is one of my favorite thread. I have watched a baseball game and basketball game from Montellano and was pretty impressed on how they play the game.

    Thanks for bumping this. I glanced through it when I first got on this site.

    I want to do more day trips than just golf when I get back so can anybody tell me where you can do a catamaran day trip?
