Thanks for the reply. I didn't realize it was so far. I'm staying near Cabarete and have friends staying at San Pedro I was hoping to meet up with. Looks like it's not going to happen. Thanks though.
benie16, besides Metro or CaribeTours you can also go with Transporte Cibao to Santo Domingo.
Transporte Cibao bus starts just besides CabibeTours bus station in Sosua/Cheramicos (about 15 min taxi/guagua drive from Cabarete). This busses are a little bit smaller and some less comfortable than CaribeTours busses, but they are ok.
The big advantage with Transporte Cibao is that the first bus in the morning starts already at 3am, so you are at about 7am in Santo Domingo. Another advantage is that right at the bus station of Transporte Cibao in Santo Domingo there go other busses imediately to Higuey (San Pedro is on the way before Higuey). So you should be able to be in San Pedro latest around 10am.
You have to check in SanPedro, when the last bus leaves in the afternoon back to Santo Domingo. And also, when Tr. Cibao last bus leaves from Santo Domingo to Sosua - I'm not sure about their schedule back. For the way back to Sosua, I always chose CaribeTours, their last bus leaves at 7pm in Santo Domingo to Sosua. If you choose this bus you are at about 11:30pm in Sosua, from there with a taxi at about midnight back in Cabarete.
So it is quiet a trip, but indeed doable in one day, if you really have or want to.
