When to go
The dry season from about December to May is sunny and comfortable. Roughly July to November is the wet season with frequent short showers, and typhoons can occur, sometimes cancelling flights. Prices rise during Asian holidays and summer breaks.
Airport to the city
Taxi
Available at the airport taxi stand. Ask for a rough fare to your destination before you get in.
Rental car
Pick up a car at the airport and drive straight to your hotel. The easiest option if you plan to explore the island.
Getting around
Rental car
The easiest way to reach the south coast and far beaches. Driving is on the right. Bring your home licence and passport, and check with the rental company and official information on other requirements such as an International Driving Permit.
Tourist shuttle buses (trolleys)
Buses for visitors loop the Tumon hotel strip, malls and main sights. A single ride is about $3; check pass types, routes and times locally.
Taxi
Convenient for short trips but relatively expensive. Ask your hotel front desk to call one.
Hotel and mall shuttles
Some hotels and malls run free or low-cost shuttles. Ask at check-in.
Walking
The Tumon beachfront hotel strip and main street are walkable. The midday sun is strong, so bring a hat and water.

Top sights
Tumon Beach
A shallow, calm lagoon protected by the reef, great for kids. Water shoes help protect your feet from coral and rocks.
Two Lovers Point
A clifftop lookout over Tumon Bay and the ocean. There's an entry fee, and sunset views are especially good.
Ypao Beach Park
A beach park with lawns and shade, good for snorkeling and picnics.
Plaza de España (Hagåtña)
A plaza and cathedral from the Spanish colonial era, a quick introduction to Guam's history.
South coast drive
A scenic loop past old villages, fort ruins and coastal lookouts. Allow half a day to a full day.
Ritidian Beach
A quiet, beautiful beach at the island's northern tip. It's a protected area with set opening hours and occasional closures, so check official information. Stay out of the water when waves are high.
Chamorro night market
A weekly night market in Hagåtña with local food and performances. Check the day and hours locally.
Malls and outlets
Tumon and Tamuning have malls and outlets. Guam has no sales tax, so the shelf price is often what you pay.

Red rice
Rice colored with achiote seeds, a staple at every Chamorro table.
Kelaguen

Finadene sauce
A Guam dipping sauce of soy, lemon, onion and chili, served with barbecue and rice.
American diners

Local tips
- As a US territory, Guam has its own entry requirements (such as electronic travel authorization), and arrivals must complete the Guam Electronic Declaration Form (EDF). Check official US and Guam government sources before you go.
- Tipping is customary at restaurants and for taxis. Check whether a service charge is already on the bill.
- The sun is intense. Bring sunscreen, a hat and a rash guard, and drink water often.
- Coral and rocks are common, so water shoes help. Check beach signs and local advice, and stay out of the water when waves are high.
- During typhoon season, watch for airline alerts and read your travel insurance terms on delays and cancellations.
- When driving, keep right, follow speed limits and don't leave valuables in the car.
