Montaña Redonda

This is a rustic attraction with incredible views over the countryside, the Atlantic coast and the opening of Samaná Bay. You can either hike up the mountain or ride in the back of a truck, which is what we have done both times we went. The truck ride is a hair-raising experience, as the climb is steep and the road is rough. Once your rattled bones get to the top, you will find a restaurant, an observation tower, sturdy swings you can use for impressive photos, hammocks, two different types of zip lines and other attractions. There are some typical small shops selling souvenirs as well. The views are spectacular, especially the turquoise waters near the coast and the hilly areas inland. You will also see two large lakes: Laguna Redonda to the left and Laguna Limón to the right. If you look closely near Laguna Limón you will see many fields of rice. Those large black and brown birds soaring in the air currents are turkey vultures. We enjoyed a beer, some fries and a quesadilla in the restaurant, while soaking in the incredible views. Once you make your way back down the hill, you will find a few small shops selling souvenirs as well as local fruits and vegetables. We selected a cocoa pod (you don’t see those for sale very often!) along with beautiful local avocados and a papaya. In summary, this is an attraction for those who love a fantastic view with a fun and adventurous ride to the top and back down.

Montaña Redonda in Miches is absolutely breathtaking! The 360-degree panoramic views of the mountains, ocean, and surrounding countryside are unlike anything I’ve ever seen. The staff was friendly and helpful, and the ride up the mountain added a fun bit of adventure to the visit. It’s a perfect spot for photos, peace, and connecting with nature. A must-visit destination if you’re anywhere near the area—truly magical!

It was a very fun experience. I didn't come on a tour bus so I don't know what people who did paid. I paid 1800 pesos to get a ride up to the top of the mountain. Up top there is a restaurant, souvenir shop, and other activities. I paid $20 for the pipeline and I also enjoyed the swings and hammocks.

It was overall a very lovely experience! The ride up is a little rough but that’s to be expected going up the side of a mountain. There is a restaurant as well as some additional activities at the top for you to do so be sure to walk with some extra cash besides the fare for the drive up/down. The views are absolutely breathtaking and the swing adds a fun element! Definitely recommend.

Nice little place with a 360 view, swings, seesaws, and a tower to go even higher. They have bathrooms and a restaurant and for extra money, you can do a zip line which is very short and bike as well! Nice views and the ride up there is kinda fun because it’s super bumpy !

Today it was $12.50 per person to ride up - I guess that’s better than $18 but not as good as $5 which is what it should be imho. But once at top it’s lovely - swings and flying broom photos. The zip line &bikes looked great but it started raining. The restaurant was very good for lunch!

Amazing View from top of the mountain. Once you arrive to the location you have to get on the open bus which takes you to the top of the mountain. There is a small coffee shop which also has some light snack you can purchase. There is also zipline which you can do for a small price. When we went it was raining initially but then it cleared up. They say the rain comes and goes so you just have to wait for the clouds to clear up. There are 5 to 6 different swing you can use as seen in the picture that you can use. There is no additional cost for the swing. Overall really nice spot to visit and the view are breathtaking.

Absolutely gorgeous views, lots of places to take fun pictures, zipline, look out tower. The views were incredible though.
