Guam is a small tropical island destination in Micronesia that’s arguably overshadowed by its popular ‘neighbors’ such as that of Hawaii or Indonesia — but what a lot of tourists don’t know is that it’s the closest U.S. soil to Asia and that it is definitely a hidden gem of sorts. (Things to Do in Guam)

From its pristine sandy beaches to its rich Chamorro history, this US territory offers an array of activities, attractions, and cuisines that can cater to just about any kind of traveler. In fact, I have been to this magical island two times now and I still can’t get enough of it!

If you’re from Asia, a direct flight to Guam can only last for only 3.5 hours; as such, it’s an easily accessible getaway.

A lot of Japanese and Koreans actually regard Guam as a top favorite when they’re looking for a tropical escape, and it’s easy to see why because Guam is truly a treasure trove of numerous island activities. Rest assured, the throng of tourists here is not too overwhelming, so you will often find yourself enjoying a whole stretch of beach all for yourself — which is, naturally, an amazing thing!

Spanning about 549 sq. km, it is also a joy to drive through the island as you take it easy to visit various key spots. If you ask me, this is my top favorite must-do when on the island.

Overall, it might seem daunting at first to plan the perfect Guam itinerary but fret not! With the help of this post that’s based on my experiences, you can easily narrow down the top things to do in Guam so that no matter if you’re planning to visit for only a few days (or more) , you’ll be making the most of your trip!

Top Things to Do in Guam

1. go beach-hopping all over the island.

As an island that is blessed with a year-round tropical climate and long coastlines, Guam is a paradise for beach lovers! Let me help you take out the guesswork from figuring out the top places to see by checking out the list below:

TIP : A majority of the eastern beaches are ideal for swimming due to its calm and shallow waters that are caused by outer reefs that break the surf. (In contrast, excercise caution when exploring beyond the reef because it can be treacherous due to riptides and such).

• ★ Tumon Beach : This is arguably the most famous beach in Guam and arguably the most iconic too! After all, it is located right in the main downtown area of Tumon which is the center of the island. The best part? It has shallow waters so it’s generally idyllic for snorkeling and swimming — even for those who can’t swim! It is also lined by the island’s best luxury hotels, but don’t let this fact prevent you from exploring the whole of the beach; after all, it is a public beach so you are free to explore just about anywhere. .
• Gun Beach : Located just north of Tumon Beach, this is a great spot that is tranquil and scenic. If you’re up for a hike, there is even a well-marked cliff trail on the northern end of the beach. Otherwise, take out your snorkeling gear and explore the nearby reef (if you have a scuba diving license, this is also a great spot to explore!). And once the sun sets, this is a great spot to stay in for grand views (if not, you can also view it from the nearby Two Lovers Point) . .
• Gab Gab Beach : This is a beautiful stretch of sand that’s lined with tall palm trees; unfortunately, unless you know someone who has a military ID, it’s impossible to enter given that it’s located inside a military base. It’s a bummer, I know! But it helps to mention it here just in case you might know someone in Guam who can grant you access. .
• On your way here, don’t forget to drop by Emerald Valley which is a beautiful waterway with turquoise-clear waters! You’ll find a lot of fish here as well as water snakes and sea urchins. It’s not ideal for swimming but the view is amazing. .
• Shark’s Cove Beach : If you’re up for a short hike (less than 1km) , this secluded beach is famed for snorkeling — don’t worry, there are no sharks here! So pack your protective water shoes and head to the trailhead that starts at the northern tip of Tagachang Beach. .
• Taga ‘ chang Beach : As remote as Shark’s Cove, this beach that’s towered by 2 cliffs can be a good respite from the crowds if you’re up for it! .
• Mushroom Rock Hila’an Beach : Past Tanguisson Beach is Hila’an which is a long stretch of white sandy beach that’s coupled with some unique mushroom rock formations! .
• Ypao Beach : If you want an alternative to the bustling greater part of Tumon Beach, just head on over to its other end which is this Ypao Beach. If you’re lucky, you might spot a local music festival or a local village party that’s being held in the nearby Ypao Beach Park. That being said, this is a great place to go to if you want to hold a picnic with family or friends given the pavilions with tables that are found all over the park.

2. Rent a car, drive with your top down, and visit some sights outside of the city

Guam is an absolute joy to explore in a rental car! It gives you the freedom to choose your own route, and it is also the easiest way to navigate yourself through all of the island’s attractions.

To date, there are a number of reliable rental car companies that you can choose from but I highly recommend Hertz ! I acquired my car rental from them and the process from pick-up to drop-off was absolutely hassle-free.

TIP: If you have the budget, I suggest getting a convertible car to enjoy the cool breeze as well as to maximize the gorgeous sceneries during your drives!

To jumpstart your journey for the top things to do in Guam, you can check out the following attractions:

CENTRAL TOUR

• Dulce Nombre de Maria Cathedral-Basilica : A gorgeous Roman Catholic cathedral that was built on the island’s first Catholic church that was built in 1669. Today, it enshrines the image of Santa Marian Kamalen, the Patroness of Guam. .
• Governor’s Complex : The Governor Ricardo J. Bordallo Complex, known as Adelup Point, offers great coastal views and some other structures such as the Latte of Freedom (meant to embody the strength of CHamoru culture with the shape of the latte stone) and Lone Sailor Statue (a commemoration of the role of the Navy, Marine Corps, and Coast Guard in  Operation New Life ). .
• Fort Apugan (Santa Agueda) : This is the only surviving Spanish fort in Hagåtña and it provides commanding views of the Philippine Sea and other northern cliff lines. .
• Latte stone or latte is a uniquely-shaped pillar that was used as building support by the ancient Chamorro people. Nowadays, this latte stone is seen as an iconic sign of Chamorro’s identity. .
• Plaza De Espana : This used to be the location of the Governors Palace during Guam’s long period of Spanish occupation, and it is listed on the National Register of Historic Places due to the 3 structures that can still be seen in its expanse: the 3-arch gate (Arsenal), the azotea, and the Chocolate House. .
• Guam Museum : If you want a taste of Guam’s history, this is the best place to go to and it is found just right in front of the Plaza De Espana.
• ★ Ritidian Point : As the northernmost point of the island, it is part of the 1,203-acre Guam National Wildlife Refuge. Though you can’t exactly swim here (due to strong currents) you can still enjoy the white beach as well as its well-maintained trails: Nature (1.25 miles), .75 Latte Loop (.75 miles), and Ritidian Caves (.5 miles). You can do the hike by yourself but I would suggest giving the Guam National Wildlife Refuge (671-355-5096) a call ahead of time to schedule a guided tour so that you can make the most of the experience. .
• Mangilao Golf Club : Located on the east of Guam, this course should be high up on your top things to do in Guam especially if you are a golfer! After all, the Mangilao Golf Club ranks among the top 100 courses in the world and it has been designed by master Robin Nelson. .
• Pagat Cave and Point : The trail to the cave is well marked by pink ties around the trees and though it is short, it helps to note that it can get fairly steep. Nevertheless, you’ll be rewarded with a cool swim in a pool of pure fresh water inside the cave. Don’t forget to climb to the other side of the cave where you’ll find the scenic Pagat Point which opens up a view of the ocean and surrounding rocky coast. .
• Ague Cove : Found in the village of Dededo, Ague Cove is a hidden gem that is worth the hike if you have the time! However, as it is located on private property, it is a must to contact the owner beforehand who is Mr. Jesus Pangelinan ((671) 477-9269). It also helps to note that you must exercise caution at all times while going through the trail as it can be steep and rocky.
• Fort Nuestra Señora de la Soledad : Listed on the National Register of Historic Places, this is the fourth of 4 Spanish fortifications that protected the bay in Umatac. Nowadays, it has been made into a park and you can find several cannons here as well as a preserved bunker. .
• Sella Bay Trail : This is a moderately-challenging hike that takes you Sella Bay after an hour-long hike. You’ll be rewarded with scenic overlooking views and a picturesque bay as you go through lush greenery. .
• Talofofo Falls Resort Park : For a small entrance fee, you can enjoy one of Guam’s most popular waterfalls where you can also enjoy a range of other activities such as riding a cable car, visiting a historical museum, and many others! .
• Talofofo Caves : Famous for showcasing remnants of the indigenous Chamorro as evidenced by petroglyphs and paintings on the walls, I suggest exploring these caves with a guide. .
• Tarzan Waterfalls : Yet another must-see waterfall on the island and it can be easily reached with just a short hike. Make sure to pack your swimsuit so that you can enjoy a swim after the walk! .
• Valley of the Latte Adventure Park : If you want to combine adventure with education, this adventure park is a must on your Guam itinerary! Other than several exhibits of Chamorro history, you’ll also get to enjoy a number of thrilling activities such as an Adventure River Cruise (Guam’s only inland boat tour), a Kayak Adventure Tour, carabao rides, and many others. .
• ★ Inarajan Pools : A popular spot for both locals and tourists, you’ll absolutely love the natural system of swimming holes found on the shore. You’ll even find a tall diving platform as well as several other picnic amenities to make the most of your drive-by. .
• Waterfall Valley : This is a great beginner’s hike that leads you to 5 beautiful waterfalls that range from 8 feet up to 25 feet. If you ask me, it’s perfect for families who would love a jungle adventure that’s combined with several dips in freshwater pools. .
• Cetti Bay Overlook : Cetti Bay is a geological delight given that it’s an area where you can find a chain of a thousand foothills that are a part of Guam’s Territorial Seashore Park. It’s an easy drive to this viewing spot to the south of Guam.

3. Visit the observation deck at Two Lovers Point

If you ask me, Two Lovers Point (Puntan Dos Amantes) might just be the topmost known tourist attraction on the island; plus, as one of the four National Natural Landmarks of Guam, it is definitely one of the top things to do in Guam!

This is a short drive from Tumon Beach and for a small entrance fee of only $3, you can access the 368 feet-high observation deck that grants you an amazing view of the coast and its turquoise waters. The site also includes a gift shop, the Two Lovers statue, and a sister bell that is connected with other “Lovers Points” in places such as those in Japan.

The story behind this attraction, however, is a timeless yet bittersweet tale of eternal love. As legend has it, during the Spanish era, there lived a wealthy family and their oldest daughter was arranged to be married to a Spanish captain — naturally, she was distraught and so she ran away. She then met a young man from a humble Chamorro family and the two fell in love immediately. Upon learning of their relationship, the father demanded that she marries the Spanish captain; together along with several Spanish soldiers, they pursued the two lovers up until they reached the high cliff above Tumon Bay. With nowhere else to go, the lovers tied their long black hair together in a single knot and leaped over the steep cliff and into the roaring waters, forever intertwined in life and in death.

OPERATIONAL HOURS: 7AM to 7PM

4. Indulge in a food trip spree and shop for souvenirs

As one of your top things to do in Guam, it is a MUST to sample local Chamorro food, and some of the many dishes that you must try are as follows:

• Red Rice. A meal is never complete without the local red rice which is basically white grain rice that has been mixed with annatto powder (“achiote”).
• BBQ . Of course, you can’t have red rice either without some barbecued meat and barbecuing is a huge part of the island’s culture!
• Fina’denne’. Though not exactly a dish, this condiment is essential for every meal and it’s a perfectly balanced dipping sauce made up of soy sauce, vinegar, diced peppers, and chilies.
• Kelaguen . Similar to ceviche, the dish is made up of either chicken or seafood that’s marinated (essentially ‘cooked’) in lemon juice.

If you’re looking for the best restaurants to dine in, I would highly recommend the following:

• Jamaican Grill. This is arguably my favorite restaurant in Guam! They serve Jamaican fusion dishes that come in big servings at a very affordable price — plus, the staff is incredibly nice and warm.
• Meskla Chamorro Restaurant . This is a local favorite and you can enjoy the finest island hospitality here combined with delicious modern Chamorro cuisine!
• Ruby Tuesday . For that true-blue American casual dining experience, you’ll surely be indulging in delectable steaks, ribs, seafood, and many others.
• Toh-Lee Chinese Restaurant . If you want a taste of Asia, this is one of the best buffets on the island that is a must-try!

TIP : For the ultimate experience, you MUST visit the Chamorro Village ! It’s essentially a night market and a lot of local residents gather here for the food as well as for the gifts or crafts (souvenirs for the tourists!) . It is open every day but it is best known for its Wednesday Night Market so make sure to include it in your schedule.

5. Watch a Chamorro cultural show at Taotao Tasi Guam

As the island’s #1 show , the Taotao Tasi show is definitely one of the top things to do in Guam!

Since 2015, this beachfront 150-foot stage has been backdropped by the most stunning sunset views while beautiful performers and fire dancers entertain audiences from all over the world. With designers and producers (some of which have worked with the famous Cirque du Soleil) , you’ll be taken through an exhilarating show as you learn the island’s treasured past in song, dance, and storytelling.

The icing on the cake? The entrance fee comes with a delicious buffet BBQ banquet! For cocktails, go and give their Corona-Rita and TaoTao Maolek a try.

TIP : For the best rates, book online today!

6. See rich and colorful marine life

In case you don’t know, Guam is also famed for having some of the best snorkeling and scuba diving spots in the world! So if I were you, you shouldn’t miss the opportunity to explore the island’s underwater scene.

• For snorkeling, you can take your pick from any of the beaches that I’ve listed above under #1 for the top things to do in Guam.
• For scuba diving, you can check out this list . Apra Harbor is also a common favorite if you’re interested in exploring historic shipwrecks from the two world wars. .
• Dolphin Watching : Try your luck and spot some spinner dolphins! You can avail of this tour from places such as the Guam Bikini Island Club . .
• SeaTREK Experience : Ever wanted to experience walking on an ocean floor? In this establishment, you can! It’s basically a helmet-diving activity that’s perfect for anyone because you don’t need any swimming or diving skills. To save your spot, it’s best to book online . .
• Underwater World Guam : At the Guam Aquarium Complex, you’ll be able to walk through a see-through tunnel that is 7 feet wide and 7 feet tall, allowing you to get a closer look at different underwater species. To save your spot, it’s best to book online . .
• Fish Eye Marine Park : As an alternative, you can check out this underwater observatory! Other activities that you can try are the Eco Snorkeling Tour, Dolphin Watching Cruise, and Island Cultural Dinner Show.

7. Hike Mt. Lamlam

Mt. Lamlam is the highest peak in Guam at 1,332 feet above sea level and truth be told, even an unfit hiker can easily reach its summit!

Apart from the memorable experience and the amazing views from the top, climbing this mountain can even earn you the bragging rights of climbing the world’s tallest mountain — yes, Everest is the highest mountain, but did you know that Mt. Lamlam protrudes at 37,820 feet from the bottom of the Marian Trench so this ‘submerged mountain’ is the greatest change in elevation in Earth over such a short distance.

TRAIL START : Across the Cetti Bay Overlook and marked as “Mount Lam Lam” HIKE DURATION : About 1 hour DISTANCE FROM TUMON : 40-minute drive

8. Get a taste of history in key spots

As some of you might already know, Guam is well-known for its strategic military position and multi-colonialism with the last 400 years marked by 3 different powers namely Spain, USA, and Japan. If you want to learn more about its past, see here .

Otherwise, of course, since you’ll already be in Guam, make it one of your top things to do to visit these sites in order to learn more about the island’s rich history!

• Pacific War Museum : Marine Corps Vietnam War veteran John Gerber established this museum and it contains various exhibits related to the military in the Pacific theater of World War II with a focus on the USA Marines. As such, if you’re a world war buff who is interested in learning more about what happened in Guam during such a time, then a stop at this place is a must! .
• Magellan Monument : Erected in 1521 to commemorate Guam’s first contact with the western world which is through the Portuguese navigator, Ferdinand Magellan. Back then, Magellan was traveling under the order of the Spanish Crown to navigate the whole globe (also in search of spices), when he arrived in Guam by chance. Nowadays, there is a strong festive atmosphere in the surrounding Yuma Tak village every March 21; it is called Remembrance Day and it marks the landing of Magellan. .
• War in the Pacific National Historical Park : As a multi-unit protected area established in 1978, this honors the bravery and sacrifice of those who have participated in the Pacific Theatre of WWII. Here you will find a multitude of former battlefields, gun emplacements (like the spot called Piti Guns) , trenches, caves, and historic structures.

9. Treat yourself and enjoy tax-free shopping

One of the top things to do in Guam is surely to explore its vibrant culture, but more than this, did you know that it has special tax-free deals for visitors?

So if I were you, you should take advantage of this — come and shop here till you drop in the number of retail brands and shopping centers and experience duty-free shopping! Some places you should not miss out on are:

• Tumon Downtown Area : Splurge and treat yourself to the number of high-end brands found here such as Louis Vuitton, Balenciaga, and more. .
• Micronesia Mall : Guam’s biggest duty-free shopping mall with over 130 shops, boutiques, and restaurants. .
• Guam Premier Outlets : Built back in 1997, you can find a number of American brands here such as Ross Dress for Less, Tommy Hilfiger, and more. .
• Kmart : Open 24 hours a day, this is a big supermarket where you can find a wide range of products, produce, etc. (e.g. watch out for the aisle showcasing a number of different varieties and flavors of Spam — that being said, did you know that Guam is the biggest consumer for Spam? This is why it’s no wonder that you’ll find unique flavors being sold here such as Spam tocino , black pepper, and garlic among many others.) .
• Agaña Shopping Center : Has over 100 stores and restaurants with a good mix of local and USA brands. .
• DFS/T Galleria : If you’re looking for more luxurious brands to shop in, this is another place that should be high on your top things to do in Guam!

10. Try other exciting activities

The fun doesn’t stop when you’re on the islands! As one of your top things to do in Guam, you should check out the number of other exhilarating activities that you can do which are not limited to riverboat cruises, kayaking, flyboarding, and many others.

For the top trusted activity providers that you must check out, they would be:

• Guam Bikini Island Club : This is your one-stop marine leisure sports club located in the south of Guam! They have a number of options that you can choose from which are delightfully packaged. We tried their Bikini Island Tour which was a 5-hour package jampacked with several activities: dolphin watching, jetskiing, snorkeling, banana boat ride, and super screamer ride — it was the best way to end our weekend getaway! .
• Guam Adventures : Established in 2019, this company is trusted for giving the best thrilling experiences including ziplining, snorkeling, paddleboarding, Go Karting, mountain biking, hiking, and off-roading (I personally tried their offroad ATV adventure and it was awesome!).

TIP: If you’ve got the time, you should check out the deserted tropical island of Alupat which is just off Tumon Beach (access is through the Onward Beach Resort). In fact, it’s less than just 1,000 feet from the shore so you cna kayak, jetski, or swim your way to it (just practice caution especially when swimming!). Once there, you can lay out a picnic to enjoy the sandy cove.

Guam Travel Guide

» best time to visit.

Guam enjoys a tropical climate with little seasonal temperature variation (25° to 32°) and rare destructive typhoons — hence, it is an ideal destination at any time of the year! If you’re looking to visit during its warmest times, you should come around May or November. If you want to avoid chances of rain or typhoons, come any time during its dry season (though it helps to mention that even if it does rain, it will often only happen for a short time in a day!).

• DRY: December to May
• WET: June to November

» Getting in to Guam

By air. Antonio B. Won Pat International Airport  (GUM) is the only commercial airport to and from the island, and it is found only a few kilometers from Tumon. The airlines that primarily fly to the island are United Airlines, Japan Airlines, Korean Air, China Airlines, Eva Airways, and Philippine Airlines.

In order to find the best flight deals from your point of origin, I recommend browsing through Skyscanner .

From the airport, I don’t suggest taking a taxi because they are far expensive. Since public transportation is not available from the airport, what I would recommend is to arrange a private transfer, do a car rental , or book a Stroll car (Guam’s version of Uber).

» Visa for Guam

Entry requirements for the island are the same as those of the USA. To date, there are over 40 countries eligible for visa-free entry into the USA as long as you apply for the Electronic System for Travel Authorization (ESTA) online before departure. If you’re not a citizen of any of those countries, you will need to apply for a USA visa.

• Check full visa requirements  here  as per your nationality.

» Where to Stay (Guam Accommodations)

To search for the best hotel accommodation in Guam at the best prices, I suggest cross-checking hotel prices between Agoda and Booking.com . But if you’re rather interested in renting comfortable houses or apartments, you should search through AirBnB .

See here too for the list of the BEST hotels in Guam .

» Guam Currency

United States Dollar (USD / $) is Guam’s official currency, given that it is a USA territory. In the event that you want to exchange your local money for USD, I highly advise that you do NOT exchange your money at the airport since the rates there are not competitive.

• How to best exchange your currency?   Either exchange it at a bank or at a money exchanger in your home country or in the city center of Guam. Better yet, just withdraw from an ATM with your debit/credit card — however, you must do one big withdrawal to minimize fees with your bank. Speaking of cards, a lot of Guam establishments accept credit cards but it’s always advisable to have cash on hand because there can be some smaller shops that may not accept cards.

» Cost of Travel in Guam

You should expect to travel to the Philippines with an average daily cost of about USD $90~ per person on a budget, or at least $200~ if you want to experience more comfort on activities, tours, hotels, and more. (Values below show low-budget to medium-budget ranges only).

• Hotels: $40 to $100 USD / day
• Food: $15 to $30 USD / day
• Fun: $10 to $20 USD / day
• Transport: US$15 on average

» How to Get Around Guam

By walking. This is only ideal if you are exploring the main districts of Hagåtña and Tumon; however, walking around the island is not advisable due to vehicular traffic and lack of sidewalks.

By bus. There are buses available, including the Tourist Shopping Buses that make stops in most hotels in Tumon (it costs $4 for a one-way ticket and $12 for a daily pass).

By taxi. Taxis are typically expensive on the island but an alternative would be a Stroll car (Guam’s version of Uber).

By car. This is the BEST way to go around Guam and I highly recommend it because driving a car will give you more freedom and flexibility. For this, I suggest getting a rental car from one of the car companies that are already found at the airport (for me, I got my car rental from Hertz) .

TIP : When you’re mapping out your day-to-day route, just use Google Maps because it will show in detail the fastest route you can do.

» Safety in Guam

Guam is a safe destination to visit and there is little crime on the island; in fact, the Chamorro are one of the kindest and warmest people you’ll ever meet, so solo travelers don’t have much to worry about in this amazing country!

• HOW TO: Find the right travel insurance for you

» Helpful Chamorro/CHamoru Phrases

The local’s native language is Chamorro (CHamoru) but English is the common language in Guam. Nevertheless, it can help impress some locals when you know a Chamorro word or two!

• RELATED READ: Best translation apps for travel

Hello: Håfa adai! ( Hah-fuh-day ) How are you: Håfa tatatmanu hao? ( Hah-fuh-tah-taht-mah-noo-How? ) Thank you: Si Yu’os Må’ase’. ( C-zu-oohs-Muh-ah-seat ) You’re welcome: Buen probechu. ( Bwen-pro-bet-sue ) Goodbye: Adiós. ( Ah-Deh-Oss )

Good morning: Buenas días. ( Bwenas-Dee-as ) Good evening (see you tomorrow): Esta agupa’. ( eh-stah-ah-goo-pah )

Other Guam F.A.Q.

Though it is a US territory, tipping in Guam is not entirely common or expected. In most cases, a 10% service charge will already be added to your bill — hence, tipping will just be optional. If you’re rather feeling generous, anywhere between 10-15% of your total bill is fine.

Guam typically uses two plug types: type A (two flat parallel pins) and type B (two flat parallel pins and a grounding pin) and they operate on a 110V supply voltage with a frequency of 60Hz.

 Please check their  latest travel advisories  page.

All visitors to Guam must have a passport that is valid for at least 6 months after the period of their intended stay — and if required, a visa.

Booking Essentials

TIP: It’s a good idea to crosscheck the prices with other popular travel insurance providers like World Nomads and HeyMondo (as my reader, you get 5% off)! . However, take note that a travel insurance’s affordability typically means lesser coverage; so please always ensure that you read the fine print in order to decipher which travel insurance company is the right fit for you and your trip!

The Top 10 Things to See and Do in Guam

Looking for an island getaway, but don’t want to shell out the cash for Hawaii or the Seychelles ? Consider Guam, a gorgeous island with excellent weather almost year round that affords visitors pristine wildlife and beaches, excellent street food, history in spades, and even a magic show. Here are the top ten things to check out on vacation in Guam.

1. meet incredible wildlife at ritidian point.

Located at the northernmost tip of Guam, Ritidian Point’s almost-white sand beaches and crystal clear waters are just the beginning of what there is to explore. Visit the 1,203-acre Guam National Wildlife Refuge , home to tree snails, fruit bats, and archaeological remnants of ancient Chamorro culture.

Sample street food at Chamorro Village

Although the market in Chamorro Village is open every day, it truly comes alive on Wednesday nights. Eat local delicacies (like honey-drizzled banana egg rolls, or chicken or pork BBQ-on-a-stick), pick up some souvenirs, and watch traditional dances. Chamorro Village Wednesday Night Market, 169 W Marine Dr, Agana Heights, Guam, +1 671 475 0376

3. Visit the Magellan Monument

Although not located in the precise spot where the explorer Ferdinand Magellan landed on Guam in 1521, the monument pays tribute to the intrepid explorer and his crew, who—quite literally—put the tiny island on the map. Check out the old fortress cannons and nearby Catholic church from the Spanish era ushered in by Magellan. Magellan Monument, 2, Umatac, Guam

4. See a magic show at Encore!

Encore! is one of Guam’s most beloved attractions. Staring the magician Anthony Reed, circus artist Ian Faraonel, and a white lion named Rio, the show is held in a theater at the Fiesta Resort and has received rave reviews since its opening in 2016. Encore!, 801 Pale San Vitores Rd, Tamuning, Guam , +1 671 647 7227

5. Get to know Guam’s sea life at Fish Eye Marine Park

Bridge, Park

Although the top deck of the Fish Eye Marine Park affords spectacular views of the ocean and Gaum’s mountain ranges in the distance, the real show is below sea level. Here, 24 windows allow visitors to meet over 200 species of fish that call Guam’s waters home as well as the coral reefs surrounding the island. Fish Eye Marine Park, 818 North, Marine Corps Dr, Piti, Guam , +1 671 475 7777

Go scuba diving

Guam’s technicolor coral reefs will give scuba divers an awe-inspiring glimpse into an alternate universe below the surface of the water, but history buffs also have something to dive for: the wrecks of German ship SMS Cormoran , and the wreck of the Japanese ship Tokai Maru , which were sunk by the U.S. Navy in World War I and II, respectively. The two ships are close enough for divers to touch at the same time.

Go dolphin watching

Schools of dolphins call the waters around Guam home, and plenty of sailing expeditions that will take you on a quest to spot these majestic creatures. Turtle Tours receives high marks for their expeditions, and the captains will even allow feeding the dolphins if weather and sea conditions permit.

6. Brush up on your history at the Pacific War Museum

7. visit the dulce nombre de maria cathedral-basilica.

Cathedral, Church, Museum

The first Catholic church in Guam, the Dulce Nombre de Maria Cathedral-Basilica was constructed in 1669 under the leadership of the Spanish missionary Diego Luis de San Vitores. Also well worth a visit is a small yet significant art museum operating above the church, with a rotating roster of art from a cadre of local and international artists.

If you want to see, feel, and taste only the best Guam offers, this list of activities will make your days merrier.

Spend days at the beach

Guam sits in the western area of the Pacific Ocean, giving it a warm and humid climate, perfect for beach fun. If you’re yearning for the most radiant tan, the best time to visit is from January through May.

You can rent a cabana as you stare into the horizon for a good amount of me-time, with the freshest coconut juice on hand.

Uncover the truth behind the Two Lovers Point

Also known to the locals as Puntan Dos Amantes, this tourist attraction is one of Guam’s most iconic. It is a reflection of a timeless legend about eternal love. A beautiful lady ascending from a wealthy family was arranged to marry an influential Spanish captain during the Spanish colonial era. She disagreed and ran away, only to meet a young and modest Chamorro lad who’d sweep her off her feet later.

They fell in love truly, madly, and deeply. However, the girl’s father heard about their passion and got mad-angry. The girl was forced to leave the young man to promise to return. An immersive experience at the Two Lovers Point is recommended if you want to know more about this story. Let the next events unfold as your feet touch the ground of this unforgettable landmark.

Swim with sharks underwater

Underwater World Guam is a wonderland! Both young adults, locals, and tourists are sure to enjoy the activities offered here. Even without specialized training and the professional fees that come with it, you dive and swim with sharks underwater! The water world is equipped with stellar facilities and quality first aid measures.

If you’re not feeling that adventurous, this place will still prove to be fantastic. Apart from watching fascinating sea creatures from a safe distance, you can touch a shark’s egg or feed them too. You won’t be short of amazing options!

Enjoy Guam’s incredible marine life.

The Fish Eye Marine Park has been entertaining tourists for over two decades! They will introduce you to Guam’s pristine undersea world through engaging and unforgettable activities, a highly recommended activity among tourists.

This marine park also offers tours to snorkel underwater or watch dolphins being in their element. Make sure you check them out on your next visit and support their marine preservation causes when possible.

Parasail at the Cocos Island Resort

If you want an island dedicated to relaxation, Guam’s Cocos Island will excite you! This 1,600-meter long and 300-meter wide island has the necessities of a fantastic vacation. Here, you can enjoy island cuisine, a dainty cafe, ice cream parlors, a water sports rental, and an olive or bronze tan.

One of the main attractions of this resort is the availability of parasailing at an affordable price. Watersports take the fun to the next level at the beach, and it is a must-try!

Experience the local scene at Chamorro Village

This is the perfect place for tourists to have a culturally immersive experience. Here, they can have quality time with the locals, try their cuisine, and appreciate their crafts. If you only have limited time, visiting this village on a Wednesday night will prove to be one of your trip’s highlights.

Every Wednesday, the night market showcases locally grown produce accompanied by local dance groups to entertain the crowd. You get to experience all of this over barbeque, drinks, and exciting conversations.

Fort Nuestra Senora De la Soledad

This fort in Guam represents a very important piece of history. Spanish troops built it as one of the ports to ward off enemies. Here, you get to see an ancient barbette, what a guardroom looked like, and the area where Spaniard soldiers stored their weaponry.

Hike Mount Lamlam

This mountain is more than just its 1,332 ft height above sea level. Lying underneath the sea’s surface is Mount Lamlam’s 36,070-ft body, making it an enormous mountain. This mountain’s name is Chamorro which translates to “lightning” in English.

The mountain’s height on the 210-square-mile island will give you an impressive view of Guam. The horizon where the sea meets the sky will keep you gazing for hours. At Mount Lamlam, you’re closer to the sun, so make sure you apply and reapply sunscreen during your visit.

Visit Sandcastle Guam

Contrary to its name, this edifice is not made of sand. It is, in fact, a 40 million dome-shaped theatre. Sandcastle Guam will give you one of the most splendorous shows you’ve seen, complete with magic, tigers, and showgirls in specific productions. The different shows it hosts make it suitable for children and adults alike.

Take a cultural trip to the Pacific War Museum.

Guam’s participation in World War II is memorialized in this museum. Here, you’ll see the types of equipment and weapons used during one of the most important turning points in the world.

Everything showcased in this museum was impactful during its time. If you want to better understand the past and commemorate the lives of fallen heroes, the Pacific War Museum is an excellent place for you.

Explore a Spanish fortress

The traces of war in Guam are evident through the Pacific War Museum and through Fort Santa Agueda. This is the last and only surviving Spanish fortress, and you can still visit it today. It has seen a lot from Spain’s glorious time, the rise of America, and was occupied by Japan later on.

Referred to as Fort Apugan nowadays, it will give you a piece of the beautiful past and a panoramic view of Guam.

Scuba dive at the Gabgab beach

This beach is Guam’s hidden gem. It has a swimming pool type of sea wall, making it very convenient to swim on. You can just alight from the sand to the sea, and you’re all set to have a great time. If you are an aspiring scuba diver, this beach has options for beginners through professionals. You’ll be amazed by the bountiful marine life residing here, the vibrant corals, and the amount of life under its waters.

Drive-thru for your market needs

Have you tried driving thru for your market needs? Guam has a Farm to Table event to support its local growers. This means that you can buy their products in drive-through every Thursday in select marketplaces. Orders are strictly on a first-come, first-served basis. If you run a little late, don’t worry. There are many marketplaces in Guam if you wish to cook fresh meats and fish or if you simply want to show support to their farmers. Dededo Flea Market and the Fisherman’s Co-Op sell one of Guam’s freshest products, so check them out.

Go on a river cruise.

If you’re up for some water adventure, the Valley of the Latte Adventure Park has many individual and group activities available for you. You can kayak, cruise, or paddle your way along the breathtaking Talofofo and Ugum Rivers.

The designated tour guides are trained well to give you a safe yet adventurous experience. They will also tell you more about Guam and the treasures therein. Many tourists describe this experience as one of the most exquisite so make sure you don’t miss it!

Try different Chamorro dishes.

The Chamorros are the indigenous people of Guam, and they make up most of the population. Undeniably, their culture and cuisine are impactful to Guam and its tourism. One of their most tasty local dishes is called Chamorro bistek. This dish is perfect for your palette if you fancy thin-sliced beef, some seasonings, and a flavourful beef stew. Chicken and fish kelaguen is also a crowd favorite, especially when served with grated fresh coconut.

Not only is it fresh-tasting, but it is also highly nutritious! Guamanians have the delightful Chamorro cake if you’re wondering what’s for dessert. It’s a sweet treat of the sponge cake base, vanilla custard, and a generous amount of cinnamon. If you’re wondering how to say delicious in Chamorro, you could say ‘Månnge’!’

The Best of Guam: Things to Do in Every Village

• Thursday, April 4, 2019
• Category: Travel, Villages

Guam may be small in size, but it’s big on water activities, culture, shopping, dining, and breathtaking beaches. Find the best of each village — yes, all 19 — here.

AGANA HEIGHTS

Agana Heights is the home of Fort Santa Agueda, one of very few remaining Spanish forts on Guam, which was built during the 1700-1800s. The fort is perched on top of Apugan Hill. A popular swimming and hiking spot in Agana Heights is Fonte River.

Agat is a village located on the southwest coast of Guam. It is regarded as the main commercial center of the island’s south. There are a few notable historical points of interest in Agat including the Agat Beach Unit of the War in the Pacific National Historic Park that include memorials to those who perished during the war as well as areas of the park where visitors can enjoy picnics and barbecues. Mount Alifan is another point of interest where remnants of the firefights between the Americans and Japanese are still evident to this day. Agat is also home to the Taleyfac and Taelayag Spanish Bridges, a couple of the structural remnants from when Guam was ruled by Spain in the 1700s. Agat also has a boat marina, which is a take-off point for sunset cruises and dolphin watching.

Asan is home to the Asan Beach Unit of the War in the Pacific National Historic Park. It is the site where American forces landed in the battle to liberate Guam from Japan during World War II. One can also visit the Asan Bay Overlook on Nimitz Hill for a panoramic view of Guam’s coastline.

A drive up Mt. Barrigada offers a sweeping view of the hills of Central Guam all the way to the Philippine Sea. The village features softball and football fields, as well as a paintball course. The Guam International Airport is located in Barrigada and Tamuning.

CHALAN PAGO-ORDOT

Chalan Pago-Ordot borders the scenic Pago Bay where one can stop at a lookout point to view the entire bay and surrounding landscape. The only access the shoreline of the bay itself is through Frank Perez Park. Just a little bit south from Frank Perez Park are bunkers used by the Japanese in World War II as a means of defense in Pago Bay. Also in Chalan Pago-Ordot is a village mural filled with images that reflect the village’s history and community. Leo Palace, a sprawling resort, is accessible from Ordot.

Dededo is home to Micronesia Mall, the largest shopping mall in the Micronesian Islands. It is an immensely popular spot for both locals and tourists with its wide range of shops that offer everything from apparel to toys to groceries at GAP, Macy’s, KD Toys, and Pay-Less Supermarket. It is also a convenient place grab a bite as well with many different eateries throughout the mall and at the food court. Children are surely going to have a fun time there as the mall has an indoor amusement park, Funtastic Park, which has an arcade and various rides including a rollercoaster. Two Lovers Point, a cultural and historical lookout, is also in Dededo. This site affords unparalleled views of Tumon Bay.

Hagåtña (formerly known as Agana), while the island’s second smallest village, is the capital of Guam. It also home to Chamorro Village, a lively destination for both locals and tourists to buy local wares as well as experience the island’s Chamorro culture and food. If you are up for shopping, a bite to eat, or catching a movie, then Agana Shopping Center is your one stop location for all those things!

Going into Inarajan is like taking a step back in time through Chamorro history. It remains one of the most untouched by change, even being listed in the National Register of Historic Places in 1977. To really feel like you have stepped back onto an ancient island, stop by the Gef Pa’go Cultural Village, where you can walk through an ancient Chamorro village, compete with thatch-roofed huts and demonstrations of traditional arts and crafts. Among the most popular sites in Inarajan are the natural ocean side pools, aptly called, Inarajan Pools. Drop by Hotnu, an old Won Pat Store where they still use the old Spanish Stone Oven of the store’s namesake.

Ipan is certainly one of the villages you’ll certainly pass through on your way down south to Guam towards Talofofo and Inarajan. Ipan Beach is a popular spot for kite surfers on Guam, and next to it is Jeff’s Pirate Cove, one of the few traditional-style bar and grill on the southern end of the island. You will also find the Ipan Beach Resort, which is a popular spot for families to spend time at the beach as well as hold barbecues and parties.

Just north of Inarajan, Malojloj is a quaint village. If you find yourself passing through, don’t hesitate to stop by McKraut’s for a bite to eat and a drink. Guam’s only German restaurant is popular amongst locals and military for its wide selection of German beer and delicious bratwursts.

The village is home to Guam’s largest secondary educational center, The University of Guam, located in the heart of Mangilao. Notable features of the UOG Campus are the Planetarium and the UOG Fieldhouse, one of the largest indoor venues on Guam. If you’re an avid golfer then you’ll enjoy The Mangilao Golf Course, which has some of the most picturesque island views.

Merizo is Guam’s southernmost village. Swimmers and tourists frequent the Merizo Pier, as do local fisherman with trolling rigs. From this vantage point Cocos Island can be observed in full length from east to west. Guided tours to the resort on Cocos Island depart from the docks at Merizo. Priest’s Pools, a series of natural pools, is hidden in Merizo, but is an easy hike with fantastic views of the ocean.

MONGMONG-TOTO-MAITE

This tiny village trio is more residential than commercial, but you can watch the planes come in from the Mobil/McDonald’s there. Maite has one motel, Palmridge Inn, just across from the island’s only commercial airport.

The village of Piti is noticeable as you head south on Marine Corps. Drive. There are several attractions in Piti worth stopping at such as the Piti Guns, three coastal defense guns built by the Japanese to use against American forces in World War II. If you wish to explore beneath the waves without ever getting wet, then pay Atlantis Guam a visit and go underwater inside a submarine. One of the most notable sights in Piti is the Fish Eye Visitor Center Underwater Observatory, the only one of its kind in all of Micronesia. If you’re a diver then a trip to the Piti Bomb Holes is a worthy treat.

During May, Santa Rita is home to a festival that includes feasting and attracts villagers from all over the island.

Sinajana is a hilltop village set between Agana Springs and Agana Heights comprised mostly of residences. It’s Guam’s smallest village. The village’s name may have come from the word “china-jan,” cookware used to cook wild yams that once grew in the area.

This sleepy village is known for its majestic waterfalls, ancient caves (including that of Shoichi Yokoi), and secluded beaches. There is also a souvenir shop and a museum that details the activity in the area during both World Wars. Tourists and locals also enjoy the quiet and serene Onward Talofofo Golf Course.

TAMUNING – TUMON

The villages of Tamuning and Tumon are home to the majority of shopping, dining, and entertainment on Guam. Dozens of high-ride hotels line Tumon Bay, a marine preserve. Luxury shopping centers like The Plaza, JP Superstore, and DFS Galleria attract an international crowd. Up for adventure? There’s ziplining at the Hilton, Tagada Amusement Park, and Onward Waterpark.

The small village of Umatac is located in southern Guam along Umatac Bay. The community of Umatac is relatively smaller than others on Guam and made up of a handful of residents, many of whom are relatives. At the center of the bay is an obelisk monument to Ferdinand Magellan’s landing in 1521, bearing the inscription, “Magellan landed here.” The bay is also home to some of the island’s best surfing. Fort Soledad is one of Umatac’s main tourist attractions, originally built by the Spanish, and contains ruins as well as sweeping views Umatac Bay.

Yigo is Guam’s northernmost village and home to Andersen Air Force Base. One of the village’s main attractions is the South Pacific Memorial Peace Park, which serves as a memorial to the American and Japanese soldiers who died during the battle of Guam during World War II. Ritidian Beach is a public-access beach and wildlife preserve with white sand and roaring waves.

The southern part of Guam is what most people imagine an island being like — sparsely populated with beautiful rolling hills and ocean views. The village of Yona is no exception — check out Tagachang Beach for proof. While it is mainly a residential area, the sprawling LeoPalace Resort has plenty of outdoor activities and locals go there to bowl, sing karaoke, and play golf. Golf enthusiasts can enjoy a selection of golf courses in Yona, including Country Club of the Pacific and Windward Hills Golf Course. Hamamoto Tropical Fruit World, a 50-acre fruit utopia with more than 70 varieties of tropical fruit, is also located in this large village.

10 Best Things to Do in Guam

What is guam most famous for.

Guam may be famed for its military bases rather than its tourism sector, yet this far-flung tropical destination is a hidden paradise for vacationers in the know. The Micronesian nation offers beautiful white beaches, exotic wildlife, and intriguing culture and history.

Naturally, many vacationers go there to enjoy aquatic pursuits. Mesmerizing coral-clad reefs and ancient shipwrecks lie beneath the surface, forming vivid underwater worlds that teem with marine life. Above the surface, water sports like jet skiing, kayaking, parasailing, and paddleboarding provide everyone with plenty of fun in the sun. Best of all, if you’re from the US, there's no need to bring your passport to visit this official American territory.

What are the best things to do in Guam?

Tumon beach, beautiful beaches abound.

Tumon is arguably the most famous of Guam’s stunning beaches and serves as the country’s focal point. It's lined by a palm tree-fringed promenade full of lavish beach resorts and hotels. A string of upmarket restaurants and bars line the shore, creating a festive atmosphere that continues into the early hours. And despite the crowds, Tumon is an idyllic spot to soak up some rays or partake in your favorite water sport.

If you prefer something a little more secluded, Guam has plenty of blissful empty beaches to explore. Talofofo is worth a look for its unique green sand, while Gun Beach and Ritidian Beach offer natural beauty away from the masses.

Location: Tumon Beach, Tamuning, 96913, Guam

Mount Lamlam

An easy record-breaking climb.

Even an unfit hiker could reach the Lamlam summit, earning you the right to brag about scaling the world’s tallest mountain (Everest being the highest). As the loftiest peak in Guam, Lamlam protrudes 37,820 ft from the bottom of the Mariana Trench, which is known as the greatest elevation change on Earth.

Lamlam is only 1,332 ft above sea level, making for a leisurely 2-hour ascent that’s doable by anyone in good health. If you decide to hike the mountain, be sure to bring sunscreen, enough snacks and plenty of water on the hike. The trailhead is within a 40-minute drive south of Tumon Beach.

Two lovers point, see the site of guam's infamous tragic love story.

Two Lovers Point in Tamsung is one of the most iconic sites in Guam, offering lookout points that provide breathtaking views of the Philippine Sea over a plunging cliff face. The cliff drops off a stark 400 feet to the crashing sea below, and you can take walkways that hang over the jagged rocks or look through telescopes for long-range views.

This is also the site of a tragic story about the daughter of a wealthy family who fell in love with a Chamorro warrior. The two threw themselves over the cliff to stop her arranged marriage in the face of an army. The legend gives this spot even greater depth for your Instagram feed.

A chamorro culture fix.

A visit to the Chamorro Village Market is an excellent way to experience the ancient traditions of the island’s original inhabitants.

Even so, it’s still worth visiting on other days to sample tasty Chamorro cuisine or pick up traditional handicrafts as a souvenir. The market is about 20 minutes west of Tumon.

Apra Harbor

The ultimate underwater novelty.

Scuba divers in search of something different should book themselves a trip to Apra Harbor, where 2 historic shipwrecks literally lie side by side. The oldest is a German vessel, the SMS Cormoran, which the US Navy sunk during WWI. By chance, the US Navy downed a Japanese passenger-cargo ship in the exact same spot almost 20 years later during WWII.

Both shipwrecks lie right next to each other and are close enough to touch at the same time. It’s the only place on Earth where you can dive wrecks from both world wars and the experience grants you cool bragging rights. Other superb diving spots are scattered around the island, offering an abundance of marine animals and colorful coral.

Location: Apra Harbor, Piti, Guam

Ritidian Point

The ideal nature escape.

Ritidian Point resides within the Guam National Wildlife Refuge, a 1,203-acre park that’s teeming with native fauna. It's tucked away on the northern tip of the country, about 35 minutes from Tumon. Tree snails, Mariana fruit bats, geckos, toads, butterflies, and monitor lizards are just some of the species that roam the thick jungle. Exploring is easy, as the refuge has 3 family-friendly nature trails to traverse: Latte Loop (0.75 miles), Nature (1.25 miles), and Ritidian Caves (0.5 miles).

After working up a sweat on the trails, cool off in the crystal-clear waters of Ritidian Beach for some much-needed rest.

Pacific War Museum

Understanding guam’s military past.

Head 20 minutes west of Tumon to the Pacific War Museum to learn about Guam’s military history. Guam’s strategic location near the Pacific’s major maritime powers led the tiny island to become a crucial U.S. military base, from WWI right up until the present day.

The museum mostly focuses on the US Marines who fought the Japanese for control of the island during WWI. After initially losing the land, the Americans regained power in 1944 and have maintained a strong presence ever since. These days, about 7,000 military personnel work in the Anderson Air Force Base and the Guam Naval Base. Military top brass often refer to the island as America’s “permanent aircraft carrier.”

A magical night out for the whole family

Clever comedic routines, death-defying stunts, and unbelievable illusions define Encore! , a glitzy magic show that’s become a Guam institution since opening night in 2016. A state-of-the-art theatre within the Fiesta Resort sets the stage for the stars of the show: a magician, a silent comedian, a circus performer, and a white lion named Rio.

The extravaganza has a strong focus on audience participation, so don’t be surprised if one of the performers invites you to hop on stage. Encore! often receives rave reviews, particularly among children who adore the hour-long show. There’s plenty of entertainment for the adults as well, however, making it a truly all-ages event.

Alupat Island

Enjoy a quiet respite just outside the city.

Marooning yourself on a deserted tropical island is all too easy on Alupat, an uninhabited isle just off Tumon Beach. The tiny island is less than 1,000 ft from the shore so you can kayak, jet ski, or swim your way there.

There isn’t much to do other than relaxing on its picture-perfect sandy cove, so consider packing some food and drinks for the trip. Outside of the high season, you might even have the whole place to yourself – it’s an authentic desert island experience to remember! Access to Alupat is via the Onward Beach Resort.

The tourism industry in Guam, like any other destination, can have both positive and negative environmental impacts. Here are some key environmental impacts of tourism in Guam:

• Natural Resource Consumption: Tourism activities, such as accommodation, transportation, and recreational facilities, can lead to increased consumption of natural resources. This includes water, energy, and land resources. The high demand for these resources can put pressure on the local environment and infrastructure.
• Waste Generation: Tourism in Guam generates significant amounts of waste, including food waste, packaging materials, and single-use items. Improper waste management and disposal can have detrimental effects on the local environment, including pollution of land, water bodies, and ecosystems. It is essential to promote responsible waste management practices to minimize environmental impacts.
• Coastal and Marine Ecosystems: Guam’s coastal and marine ecosystems are major attractions for tourists. However, uncontrolled tourism activities, such as pollution, overfishing, and improper waste disposal, can harm these fragile ecosystems. Efforts should be made to educate tourists and enforce regulations to protect marine life, coral reefs, and coastal habitats.
• Land Use and Development: The development of tourism infrastructure, including hotels, resorts, and recreational facilities, may require land conversion and habitat modification. This can lead to the loss of natural habitats, deforestation, and fragmentation of ecosystems. Sustainable land-use practices and conservation efforts are important to mitigate these impacts.
• Biodiversity Conservation: Guam is known for its unique biodiversity, including endemic plant and animal species. However, increased tourism can disrupt natural ecosystems and contribute to habitat degradation and loss. Conservation efforts, such as protected areas, wildlife management, and responsible tourism practices, are crucial to preserve the island’s biodiversity.
• Carbon Footprint: Tourism-related transportation, including air travel and ground transportation, contributes to greenhouse gas emissions and climate change. It is important to promote sustainable transportation options, energy-efficient practices, and offsetting initiatives to reduce the carbon footprint of tourism in Guam.
• Water Conservation: Tourism activities, particularly in areas with limited freshwater resources, can strain water supplies. Increased water demand from hotels, resorts, and recreational facilities can lead to water scarcity and affect local ecosystems. Implementing water conservation measures and promoting responsible water use can help mitigate these impacts.
• Cultural Heritage Conservation: Tourism can put pressure on cultural heritage sites and traditional practices. Increased visitation and inappropriate behavior by tourists can damage archaeological sites, cultural artifacts, and historic structures. Raising awareness, implementing visitor management strategies, and promoting responsible tourism practices are essential to protect cultural heritage.
• Natural Hazards and Disaster Management: Guam is prone to natural hazards such as typhoons and earthquakes. The presence of tourists during such events can pose challenges for disaster management and evacuation procedures. Developing robust emergency response plans and educating tourists about safety protocols are vital to ensure the well-being of both visitors and the local community.
• Environmental Education and Awareness: Tourism in Guam provides an opportunity to educate visitors about environmental conservation and sustainability. By raising awareness about the importance of protecting natural resources, promoting responsible tourism practices, and supporting local conservation initiatives, tourists can become advocates for environmental stewardship.

To minimize the environmental impacts of tourism in Guam, it is crucial to implement sustainable tourism practices, engage in responsible planning and development, and involve the local community in decision-making processes. Collaboration between the tourism industry, government authorities, local communities, and visitors is essential to ensure that tourism remains environmentally sustainable and preserves Guam’s natural beauty for future generations.
