One of the things my son and husband liked about the stop at Casa de Campo, Dominican Republic was the chance to do some skeet shooting. They booked this as an excursion from the ship and though a little pricey, this would be not much more expensive than at home. The cost was probably around $75 USD. They were able to shoot for quite a long time, and got much help from the attendant at the resort who really went out of his way to make this an enjoyable experience for the guys. Targets can be geared to fly at different heights and directions so success is of course, according to your ability.
After the shooting session was over, they were also had a chance for a little respite from the heat and take in some cool drinks in another part of the massive resort area in a little cabana of sorts with a thatched palm roof --- very tropical. The guys had a great day and said they would definitely try this again if we ever return to Casa de Campo.
This sport was once available on cruise ships, and I remember being intrigued by having such activities available on a cruise ship. But due to environmental concerns and the liability and safety issues, skeet shooting on cruise ships is a thing of the past.
Wear comfortable and loose clothing. Due to the intense sun and heat, you might do well to wear a visor and sunglasses and sunblock. The resort provides all other equipment. Leave a Comment Theme: OtherDirections: Casa de Campo Resort in La Romana, Dominican Republic.Website: %cbwww.casadecampo.com

One of the many things that the Casa de Campo Resort is known for is its golf! Designed by Pete Dye, the legendary "Teeth of the Dog" is ranked the No. 1 golf course in the Caribbean and ranks in the top 50 courses in the world! Playing a round of golf on "The Teeth of the Dog" course will set you back around $200 (2005) and that does not included the golf cart (shared cart, $25 pp)!!
The "Dye Fore" course is priced about the same, but the "Links" is the least expensive of the three. "Teeth of the Dog" course is supposedly currently closed for landscaping (although I've seen info. that says you can still play there at a discount for the inconvenience) but the 2 other courses on are open.
Look for the mobile "Oasis Bar" that makes its way around the course selling drinks and snacks for your convenient pleasure! Reserving tee time here is critical if you don't want to miss out on some of the best golf and scenery in the world! They make it easy for you by being able to reserve tee-times on line!
NOTE: Surcharges, etc. may apply to any rates mentioned above. Call or e-mail to confirm your costs in advance. Leave a Comment Theme: GolfingAddress: Casa de Campo Resort in the La Romana regionPhone: 809-523-8800Website: www.t.times@ccampo.com.do

All AI (all inclusive) hotels offer an array of sports for those of you who want to do something else other than lay on the beach (which is great IMO). Their range of activities is different from hotel to hotel but a few ones are kayaking, snorkeling, and on the "dry" (not beach) side volleyball, tennis, bike riding, horse riding, etc.
AI guests enjoy a free hour of most of the activities and should they exceed that time, they pay a small fee which should be asked for or published/written on a blackboard or a list. For the motorized sports/activities and a few others like banana boat, windsurfing, diving one must pay a fee.
All hotels offering sports have their own equipment, either free of charge or by paying a fee. Consult the hotel. Theme: Beach ActivitiesAddress: Dominican Republic

Dominican Republic offers to those who like extreme sports: canyoning, river rafting, trekking, mountain bike and excursions to Pico Duarte, the highest mountain in the country and the Greater Antilles (Cuba, DR/Haiti, Puerto Rico and Jamaica), being Jarabacoa/Constanza where the action is. A lot of tour operators do from day trips to week long tours, depending on the activity.
The tour operator that offers the most complete array of extreme sports tours is Colonial Tours and for those who want to go by themselves, then Rancho Baiguate is *the* place to contact.
All necessary equipment can be rented at the place. Theme: Extreme SportsAddress: Rancho Baiguate, JarabacoaWebsite: www.ranchobaiguate.com Other Contact: www.colonialtours.com.do

Many Dominican men love sports, especially baseball and basketball. The basketball court in the town I was in during the family stay was always filled with guys. I went there to look for someone in the group who was there, and I was the only girl there (except the girl I was looking for). I think that in general, sports are considered a guys-only thing in the DR. Leave a Comment Theme: Other
