La Romana is known for its three challenging golf courses, a polo field, horseback riding, tennis and a marina. The Samaná Peninsula has virgin beaches leading to brilliant coral reefs, gushing inland waterfalls and dense rainforests. In this jungle-rich region, adventure seekers spend time white-water rafting, rock climbing and mountain biking.
