Wed, 07 Oct 2026 00:00:00 GMT https://marianaislands.com/destinations/tumon-tamuning/ https://marianaislands.com/destinations/tumon-tamuning/ Most visitors to Guam sleep within a few minutes’ walk of Tumon Bay — a shallow, turquoise lagoon inside a protected reef, backed by one long hotel road, with the airport ten minutes away in Tamuning. Wed, 07 Oct 2026 00:00:00 GMT https://marianaislands.com/destinations/hagatna-central-guam/ https://marianaislands.com/destinations/hagatna-central-guam/ Fifteen minutes down Marine Corps Drive from the Tumon hotels, Hagåtña packs four centuries of Guam’s story into a few walkable blocks — and the coast just beyond it holds the 1944 landing beach at Asan and the island’s best-known snorkelling site at Piti. Wed, 07 Oct 2026 00:00:00 GMT https://marianaislands.com/destinations/southern-guam/ https://marianaislands.com/destinations/southern-guam/ South of the naval base the hotels and malls stop, the road narrows and Guam becomes a rural island of red-earth hills, river valleys and small villages — best seen on a full-day loop by hire car. Wed, 07 Oct 2026 00:00:00 GMT https://marianaislands.com/destinations/northern-guam/ https://marianaislands.com/destinations/northern-guam/ North of Tumon the island rises to a flat limestone plateau edged with sea cliffs — home to most of Guam’s residents, its most photographed lookout and, at the far tip, a wildlife refuge with the least-touched beach on the island. Wed, 07 Oct 2026 00:00:00 GMT https://marianaislands.com/destinations/garapan-west-saipan/ https://marianaislands.com/destinations/garapan-west-saipan/ Nearly every visitor to Saipan stays somewhere on the west coast — a long, shallow lagoon behind a barrier reef, with Garapan’s hotels and restaurants at the northern end and quieter villages strung along Beach Road to the south. Wed, 07 Oct 2026 00:00:00 GMT https://marianaislands.com/destinations/managaha-island/ https://marianaislands.com/destinations/managaha-island/ Managaha is the little green-and-white island you see from every west-coast beach on Saipan — uninhabited, ringed by sand and reef, and reached by a short boat ride from the marina in Garapan. Wed, 07 Oct 2026 00:00:00 GMT https://marianaislands.com/destinations/northern-saipan/ https://marianaislands.com/destinations/northern-saipan/ The northern tip of Saipan is where the battle of 1944 ended and where the island is at its most dramatic — high limestone cliffs, a sea cave that divers cross oceans for, and almost no buildings at all. Wed, 07 Oct 2026 00:00:00 GMT https://marianaislands.com/destinations/saipan-south-east/ https://marianaislands.com/destinations/saipan-south-east/ Away from the west-coast lagoon, Saipan turns rugged: a 474-metre summit with a view of the whole island, an east coast pounded by trade-wind surf, and southern coves reached by coral tracks. Wed, 07 Oct 2026 00:00:00 GMT https://marianaislands.com/destinations/tinian/ https://marianaislands.com/destinations/tinian/ Five kilometres south of Saipan across a rough channel, Tinian has one village, a handful of small hotels and some of the most sobering historic ground in the Pacific — the airfield from which the atomic bomb missions flew in August 1945. Wed, 07 Oct 2026 00:00:00 GMT https://marianaislands.com/destinations/rota/ https://marianaislands.com/destinations/rota/ Rota — Luta in Chamorro — is the least developed of the inhabited Mariana Islands: about two thousand people, almost no traffic, and a habit of waving at every passing car that you will pick up within the hour. Wed, 07 Oct 2026 00:00:00 GMT https://marianaislands.com/destinations/northern-islands/ https://marianaislands.com/destinations/northern-islands/ North of Saipan the Marianas continue for some 500 kilometres as a line of uninhabited volcanic islands. There are no flights, no ferries, no hotels and no tours. This page explains what is out there, and tells you honestly how little of it you can reach. Wed, 07 Oct 2026 00:00:00 GMT
