Private Tour Itinerary

Private Hotel Pickup in Miches

Your day begins with pickup directly from your hotel or resort in the Miches area.

Travel privately with your own group toward the boat departure point.

Because this is a private excursion, you won't need to wait for passengers from multiple hotels before starting your adventure.

Private Boat Departure from Miches

Meet your local captain and board your private boat.

Leave the coast of Miches behind and travel toward the waters of Media Luna.

Enjoy views of the coastline and surrounding tropical scenery as you head toward one of the area's most interesting marine attractions.

Media Luna Natural Pool

Media Luna is a natural shallow-water area off the coast of Miches.

Its sandbanks, clear water and areas suitable for snorkeling make it an excellent place to combine swimming with marine exploration.

Local Miches tourism products commonly use Media Luna for snorkeling and swimming, and tourism information for the destination highlights it as one of the area's coastal attractions.

Snorkeling at Media Luna

Once you arrive, put on your snorkeling equipment and enter the water.

Take your time exploring the shallow marine environment.

Depending on sea conditions, you may see:

• Tropical fish
• Small reef areas
• Marine plants
• Sandy seabed
• Other coastal marine life

Wildlife sightings can never be guaranteed.

Because your boat is private, your group can enjoy the snorkeling stop at a more relaxed pace.

Swimming and Natural Pool Time

You don't need to spend the entire stop snorkeling.

You can also:

• Swim
• Float
• Relax in the water
• Take photos
• Enjoy the scenery
• Rest aboard the boat

The depth and appearance of the natural pool can vary according to tides and sea conditions.

Return to Miches

After your Media Luna experience, return toward the coast.

Dry off, change clothes if necessary and prepare for the second half of your private adventure.

Now it is time to leave the sea and head into the hills.

Private Transfer to Montaña Redonda

Continue by private vehicle toward Montaña Redonda.

As you leave the coast, the landscape changes from tropical shoreline to rural countryside and mountain scenery.

Montaña Redonda is one of the best-known viewpoints in Miches and is officially promoted for its panoramic swings and 360-degree views over the coast, Laguna Limón and surrounding landscapes.

Journey to the Mountain Summit

The final section toward the summit follows a steep mountain road.

Depending on local operations and vehicle conditions, transportation to the top may use a vehicle appropriate for the mountain route.

Once you reach the summit, you'll understand why Montaña Redonda has become one of the most photographed places in the region.

Montaña Redonda 360° Views

Take time to walk around the summit and enjoy panoramic views in every direction.

From the mountain, you can see a combination of:

• Green countryside
• Atlantic coastline
• Tropical mountains
• Laguna Limón
• Laguna Redonda
• Rural communities
• Coconut-covered landscapes

The dramatic views make this an excellent stop for photography.

Famous Montaña Redonda Swings

One of the most popular experiences at Montaña Redonda is taking photos on the panoramic swings.

From the right angle, the swings appear to hang high above the countryside.

Enjoy your time taking photos with your partner, family or friends.

Because this is a private tour, you can move at a more relaxed pace without being rushed by a large group schedule.

Dominican Lunch at Montaña Redonda

Published tourism material for this Media Luna + Montaña Redonda combination specifically includes lunch at Montaña Redonda.

A typical meal may include:

• Rice
