Other suggestions for exploring in the area would also be welcome. Is San Jose de Ocoa easily accessable from there? I will be in the Najayo-Palenque-San Cristobal area for about a week.

The easiest is for you to travel to Bani. You'll find the bus-station for Salinas in the Southern end of town, some 7 blocks south of the Santo Domingo turn-off.
To travel to San Jose de Ocoa, go a couple of blocks past the 'pica-pollo' (where all the guagua's stop en route to/from barahona, Jimani, etc.) on the west end of town. The guagua for San Jose passes regularly up until about 6:30 pm. Alternative is to take any transport to 'El Cruze' between bani and Azua and shift Guagua at the intersection.
San Jose is a beautiful place, cool, friendly, located in a protected valley with the mountains right behild -the town has probably the nices 'plaza' of any that I have seen in the DR.
