Water Parks and Fish Eye Marine Park

Guam has two water parks: Onward Water Park and Pacific Islands Club Guam (PIC). Both are located at large hotels. In any of them, time will fly by merrily and imperceptibly - you can come in the morning and spend time having fun in the water, even for a whole day. You are waiting for pools, rivers, waterfalls, attractions and slides of various complexity.

Water park at the hotel Onward beach resort - the largest in Micronesia. Both adults and children will be delighted with the exciting 12-meter water slide "Manta" (a couple of seconds of free fall), four high water slides (two tunnels, family and open), a swimming pool with waves (up to 1.2 meters) and artificial swimming pool (360 meters). There are also four pools (round for games, indoor, children's and indoor for kids), a water barrel, a jacuzzi with a roof, and, of course, a pool bar. Opening hours - from 09:30 to 17:30.

Unfortunately, only those staying at the hotel have access to the PIC water park. Opening hours - from 09:00 to 21:00. More detailed information on the link.

Marine park Fish eye - This is an underwater observatory of Guam, unique in its kind. About a thousand species of fish live in the waters of Guam! Being indoors, but also under the water column, at a considerable depth, Fish Eye Park allows you to see all kinds of representatives of a rich water area through 24 windows and learn a lot about them. From time to time, divers - park staff - lure fish to the portholes. At such moments, you can simultaneously see about two hundred species of fish. There are panoramic windows on the upper deck of the observatory. A 360 ° view allows you to enjoy all the beauties of the island, and in the evenings it offers an exciting view of the lilac-pink tropical sunset. Even walking along the 300-meter pier of the observatory is an exciting adventure. From there you can watch the amazing Piti Bay and the mountains of Guam, you can see the coral reef and small colorful fish.

Submarine, amphibian and walks under water

When all the entertainments on the water have already been tried, the time comes to descend under the water, there you will find, perhaps, a much more fascinating sight.

For those who have never sailed a submarine, the Atlantis submarine is highly recommended. Guam is the place where scuba diving will be spectacular and exciting thanks to the fantastic underwater flora and fauna, as well as the remains of several sunken ships. Depending on the chosen program, the boat will sink 20 or 40 meters under the water. Of course, this is an unusual adventure, but absolutely safe - the air conditioning system is thought out to the smallest detail, so both children and elderly people can go on an excursion. More information about it on the Atlantis website.

Ride the Ducks Guam is one of the most fun excursions in Guam, the positive charge will last a year ahead! Children from her are simply delighted. The amphibian side - a mixture of a bus with a boat - will ride along the land of Guam with a breeze, and then along the waves of the Philippine Sea. You don’t even have to go out. A two-in-one sightseeing tour lasts an hour and a half; this is more than enough to appreciate the magical beauty of the American island. The modern ship is designed under the control of the US coastal service, so it is completely safe for the whole family. Kids can give steer! There is an audio guide in Russian. The cost of participation is from $ 35. All the details are here.

Perhaps the most unusual underwater entertainment we leave for the last. This Guam Seawalker Tours is a real walk underwater in something like a helmet from a spacesuit. You’re wearing a swimsuit (or swimming trunks — whichever is more convenient) and special shoes, and on top is an 18 kilogram helmet (it’s many times lighter in water, don’t worry). It is in this guise that you walk along the Guam seabed at a depth of six to eight meters. Pity Bay is unusually picturesque, in addition, bomb craters and clefts are preserved in this place. The instructor will lure the fish, they will swim past you, you can touch and feed them, while the hair on the head will remain dry (if any). The experience is exceptional. In addition, after 20 minutes of excursion you can try snorkeling, kayaking or go for a swim on a catamaran. It is a pleasure of $ 79, to learn more, click here.

River cruises

Guam is not only magnificent white beaches and the cleanest ocean, it is also the jungle thickets, winding tropical rivers and high stepped waterfalls. You can see all this during hikes or during sightseeing cruises on the Talofofo River. We strongly recommend doing both, because during mini-cruises there is a great opportunity to slowly explore the amazing nature of the island, swim past palm trees and bamboo thickets, admiring every turn of the river. The cost of the cruise includes a visit to the village of the indigenous people of Guam - Chamorro. You will see mystical latte stones that served as a support for ancient dwellings, learn how to weave a hat from coconut leaves and try to make fire. Daredevils, if desired, will be able to ride on a carabao buffalo. Vivid impressions for the whole vacation are provided! Details on the link.

Dolphin watching

One of the very romantic attractions in Guam is dolphin watching. You can get into a boat and it will take you to their habitats. You will see dolphins in the natural environment and you can watch them. They can swim so close to the boat that they can even touch them. This spectacle is especially admiring at sunrise: a flock of dolphins frolic in the ocean against the background of the first rays of the warm sun. You can hire a private boat or contact the company.

Guam nightlife

Guam’s nightlife is rich and diverse: visit a small amusement park, play billiards, sing karaoke, have a cocktail in a bar, dance in a nightclub or go to a nightly beach party. The most fun in Tumon - there are most establishments and you can move from one to another. Even just walking along the promenade, you will see many performances and entertainment shows.

In some establishments of Guam, you will hear live music (from pop to jazz, rock, reggae and even country), in others - local DJs. The island has magic and magic clubs offering colorful Las Vegas-style shows, as well as restaurants where you can watch a tropical show with chamorro dancing or a fire show with fakirs and spinners at dinner. If you want something very local and colorful, go to the night market in Chamorro Village. They sell national food and unique local souvenirs. The market is open on Wednesdays and Fridays.

When you get tired of city entertainment, think back to diving. It is especially beautiful at night: the night of the Philippine Sea, the sleepy underwater kingdom, even darker coral tunnels and an even richer experience. Go for it!
