Southern Mountains Lookout, Umatac Bay Travel Guide

Getting There

• Car

  If you're driving from Umatac Bay, head east on Route 4 (also known as Guam's South Route) from the main village area. Continue straight for approximately 3 miles until you reach the intersection with Route 17. Turn left onto Route 17 and follow the signs towards Humåtak. Keep an eye out for the scenic views along the way. After about 1 mile, you will see a sign for Southern Mountains Lookout. Turn onto the access road (the road may not be well-marked, but it's the only road that leads up into the hills). Follow this road for about 0.5 miles until you reach the lookout point. There is parking available at the lookout.

• Public Transportation (Bus)

  To reach Southern Mountains Lookout via public transportation, first take a bus from Umatac Bay to the nearest bus stop along Route 4. Look for the 'Guam Regional Transit Authority' bus service that operates in this area. Once you are near the intersection with Route 17, you will need to walk approximately 1 mile to the lookout. Be sure to ask the bus driver for the best stop to get off for Southern Mountains Lookout, as they can provide guidance on the route. After getting off at the bus stop, proceed to walk towards Route 17 and follow the same directions as if you were driving. Plan for about 10-15 minutes of walking after you disembark the bus.

• Taxi or Ride-Sharing Service

  For a more direct and convenient option, consider using a taxi or ride-sharing service (like Uber or Lyft) from anywhere in Umatac Bay. Simply provide the driver with the address '8MFF+F23, Humåtak, Guam' or mention Southern Mountains Lookout. The driver will take you directly to the lookout point. Make sure to confirm the fare with the driver before starting the trip. This option is more expensive than public transport, but it saves time and effort, especially if you are unfamiliar with the area.
