“Where America’s day begins.”
Guam may be small, but its history stretches back over 4,000 years. The Chamorro people first settled here long before Europeans arrived, shaping a vibrant culture of seafaring, music, and storytelling. Later, Spanish galleons passed through, World War II battles scarred its shores, and today it stands as a place where Pacific traditions meet modern America. Few islands carry so much history in so little space.
Why visit? Because Guam is paradise with a past. Here, beaches meet bunkers, limestone cliffs hide legends, and every turn reveals something unexpected – whether it’s a tragic love story, a relic of war, or a hidden ocean vista that rivals anywhere in the Pacific.
Our self-guided GPS audio tour takes you around the island, letting stories play automatically as you drive. That means you’re free to chase beaches, linger at overlooks, and absorb history at your own pace, without missing a thing.
Along the way, you’ll hear the heartbreaking legend of Two Lovers Point, and stand at Ritidian Point, where the ocean stretches into forever. You’ll uncover stories of WWII courage and survival at the Last Mission Memorial and the rusting Piti Guns. At the Merizo Bell Tower, discover how music and dance still echo through Chamorro traditions. See the ruins of Fort Nuestra Señora de la Soledad, reminders of the age of Spanish galleons. Pass Mount Lamlam, a mountain whose claim to be taller than Everest will make you think twice. Take in sweeping views at the Stella Bay Overlook, and stop by the symbolic Latte of Freedom, Guam’s modern monument. Finally, get back to Hagåtña, where the Dulce Nombre de Maria Cathedral Basilica stands as one of the island’s oldest links to its colonial past.
Disclaimer: Side effects may include sunburn from too many beach stops, unexpected cravings for Chamorro barbecue, and the urge to tell everyone you’ve stood on a mountain “taller” than Everest.

Tour FAQs
Guam is famous for combining beautiful island beaches with rich World War II history. Whether you’re a history buff, a vacationer seeking some sun and surf, or somewhere in between, you’ll find it on Guam.
The name “Guam” comes from the word “Guåhan” in the language of the native Chamorro people, though accounts on the meaning differ. One suggestion is that “Guåhan” means “a place with resources.” Another is that it is a greeting with which the Chamorro met incoming sailors, who assumed it was the island’s name.
If you’re seeking pristine beaches, startlingly blue water, and jungle scenery, Guam is a must-visit destination. And if you’re interested in World War II history? Even better!
Guam’s beaches are its number one attraction, but the island hides other hidden gems as well. Deep in the jungle you can find the Piti Guns, leftover artillery from World War II. High on the coastal bluffs sits Two Lovers Point, boasting unbelievable ocean views.
Guam is extremely welcoming to tourists, and makes for a great alternative to more popular islands like Hawaii. If you’re looking for a tropical escape without the crowds, Guam should be near the top of your list!
Guam is a US territory, but not a state. That makes it the first place the sun rises on US land! It was also the site of bitter fighting during World War II, and remnants of this fraught history still remain on the island.
January through May is the best time to visit, as this is Guam’s dry season. July through November is the rainy season, which can definitely put a damper on beach day plans. December and June aren’t totally dry, but aren’t quite as rainy either.
Ritidian Point is probably the most popular spot for impressive views, but if it’s sun and surf you’re seeking, you’ll want to check out Taga’chang Beach or the ever-popular Tumon Beach.
Guam’s rainy season gets started in June, but doesn’t kick into full gear until July. After that, it lasts until about November and peters out throughout December.
Ofcourse! Major rental car providers include Hertz, National, Enterprise, Alamo and Avis, but Guam also offers other rental car brands. Reserve early to get the best-priced rental car for your trip to Guam.
Guam is home to tons of great jungle hikes, as well as opportunities for kayaking, surfing, fishing, and more. If you just want to lounge in the sun, the island’s many beaches are perfect for that as well.
July 21st marks Guam’s Liberation Day, so there are always celebrations and festivals unfolding around that time. Those seeking a taste of the tropics will also want to consider visiting in April, when the annual Coconut Festival is held.
Guam is an ideal family vacation destination. Not only does it have ample opportunities for younger visitors to safely enjoy the waters of the Pacific, but it also features plenty of fascinating history for those who want to mix their fun with a little bit of learning.
Guam is near a few smaller islands, like the Northern Mariana Islands, but very little is closer than a few hundred miles away. If you want to combine a visit to Guam with a larger trip, Japan or the Philippines are great options!
