Get Your Bearings in Guam

Guam sits between Japan, Indonesia, the Philippines and Hawaii, vaguely. More specifically, it is the largest of the Micronesian Islands, and is perched right next to the deepest point in the ocean - the Mariana Trench.

The main resort area is called Tumon, and is where most of the tourists stay. Tumon is a beach playground - lined with umbrellas, chaise lounges, and all sorts of water toys, while the strip behind the resorts is action packed with duty free shopping, restaurants and even an aquarium!

Because most of the package-tourists never leave Tumon, the rest of Guam is a ripe fruit waiting to be plucked by the independent traveler. Rent a car to tour the island and you will find much to see - historical sites, small villages, magnificent scenic overlooks, jungle hikes, water falls, swimming holes and a chance to meet the locals at every turn.
