About the Tour

Are you looking for a slice of paradise — without crowds? You’ll find it right here in Guam. This tour begins in the island’s capital of Hagåtña, which boasts a population of only 1,000 people! From here, you’ll cruise along Guam’s coast and get familiar with the Chamorro people, whose presence here dates back over four millennia.

As you reach Two Lovers Point, you’ll hear the tragic legend that lends it this name and pick up some history about the Spanish occupation, which forever transformed this island. 

Then it’s on to the Last Mission Memorial to learn all about World War II. On the way, this tour will bring you up to speed on the American presence in Guam, the island’s dramatic capture by the Japanese, and the hair-raising tale of an American soldier who evaded capture by hiding out in the jungle for months and months.

Next, get your camera ready because you’ll be arriving at Ritidian Point, the northernmost point on the island. This spot offers some seriously incredible ocean views you’ll want to document!

As you head toward Guam’s southern coast, you’ll hear about the Japanese sergeant who refused to give himself up long after the war had ended. You’ll also hear more about how World War II transformed this island and the unique position it holds in the world today.

Then, marvel at one of Guam’s most impressive golf courses and beaches — maybe even take a quick break from the tour! After that, you’ll pay a visit to the beautiful Malojloj Falls and the shimmering Inarajan Natural Pool, two of the island’s most picturesque attractions.

On your way to the historic Merizo Bell Tower, you’ll learn about the significance of music and dance in Chamorro culture. You’ll also hear one of Guam’s biggest secrets about its beaches.

After that, you’ll visit the Fort Nuestra Señora de la Soledad, a remnant of a bygone era when great Spanish galleons roamed the seven seas.

You probably don’t expect to find a mountain taller than Everest on Guam, but that’s exactly what you’ll see as you pass Mount Lamlam. Don’t worry; you’ll learn how such a thing is possible along the way!

You’ll pay a visit to the Stella Bay Overlook next for another staggering vista, then continue to the Piti Guns. These beautifully decaying artillery pieces were once a serious threat to American forces. Today, they’re gradually being reclaimed by the jungle.

Next, you’ll swing by the Latte of Freedom, an impressive structure emulating New York City’s Statue of Liberty. 

Finally, you’ll end up right back where you began in Hagåtña, near the Dulce Nombre de Maria Cathedral Basilica, which dates back to the earliest days of Spanish occupation. The tour concludes here.
