Miches, Dominican Republic - Travel, Tourism & Real Estate

Miches, a small fishing village located on the Southside of Samana Bay, was once known as the "International Airport," an illegal immigration stopping off point on the way to Puerto Rico. But today Miches is uniquely positioned to become the premier location of the Dominican Republic for boutique, eco-friendly tourism and adventure tour activities.

Miches is on the south side of Bahia de Samana, world reknown for whale watching, the Marine Mammals Sanctuary and numerous wrecks for diving. Miches also borders Los Haitises National Park to the north, with mountains and miles of never to be developed forests and ecompasses the Lagunas Redonda y Limon, designated as a national reserve, with its own ”floating island” sporting unique and interesting flora and fauna, Miches has it all—miles of pristine beaches, surf, calm bays, protected laguns, mountains, caves, rivers, forests and waterfalls.

Current eco-tourism activies already include whale watching, horseback riding, lagun bird watching tours, scuba diving, sport fishing, kiteboarding, windsurfing, sailing, canoeing, hiking, camping and mountain climbing. But only on a small scale, which is how we like it.

We are looking to develop eco-friendly, small scale accomodations, tours and tourism activities focused on individuals, couples, families, small groups and ”day trips” from nearby Punta Cana and La Romana, located only 1.5 - 2 hours away.

We are supporting the development of Miches and its surrounding areas through private investment, the Miches Community Development Project (MCDP) and the promotion of business and community activities of the Miches Community Development Association (MCDA), a local member non-governmental organization (NGO.)

We are open to comments, requests and suggestions by the general public and our potential customers. To submit your ideas, please send an e-mail to info@miches.org.
