Your journey will be packed with not just must-see sights, but also plenty of history to help you understand this complicated and unique place.

• Puntan Dos Amantes (Two Lover’s Point)

  This is one of Guam's most poopular attractions for good reason. A balcony juts out over a dramatic drop to the ocean below, affording visitors breathtaking views of the coastline.

• WWII Memorial The Last Mission

• Inarajan Natural Pool

  Inajaran Natural Pool is an absolute must-see. The rocky, natural, saltwater pool is fully sheltered from the ocean waves, so it's full of colorful fish flitting around the reefs!

In fact, it stretches all the way down to the bottom of the Mariana Trench, the lowest known point in the entire ocean. At its lowest point, the Mariana Trench is over 36,000 feet deep. So this is TECHNICALLY the world’s tallest mountain, standing at almost 38,000 ft. Everest is only 29,000 ft! And now you have some fun trivia to keep in your back pocket.

• Cetti Bay Overlook

  Cetti Bay offers more than just a beautiful view. It’s also home to the ancient Chamorro village of Jati. This archaeological site features important historical structures as well as ancient pottery shards.

• Stella Bay Overlook

  This overlook also boasts a hiking trail down to Stella Bay. It's about a 45 minute walk, but near the end you'll also find an old Spanish bridge that's makes for some great photos.

• Piti Guns

  These three monstrous, 140mm cannons were set up by the Japanese military to defend against an American assault on the island. Today, they're still remarkably intact, though the ever-encroaching jungle has lent them the appearance of having been long, long forgotten.

  Hagåtña may be Guam's capital, but it's still a remarkably small village. You'll find out why that is as you enter the town limits.
