Guam Vacation and Trip Information

Guam is an unincorporated island territory of the United States in the Western Pacific Ocean; it’s the southernmost of the Mariana Islands, and lies 900 miles north of the equator and almost 4,000 miles west of Hawaii. The Chamorro natives who originally inhabited Guam are believed to have come from Southeast Asia; the indigenous culture remains alive today with regular heritage festivals throughout the country. Guam has historically been an important Spanish link between the Philippines and Mexico and was occupied by the Japanese during World War II.

Guam offers travelers island relaxation and plenty of outdoor attractions, especially for watersports enthusiasts. Enjoy world-class reef scuba diving in Guam’s clear, deep waters, and exploring shipwrecks from World War I and World War II—the Tokai Maru and the SMS Cormoran. Other island attractions include the Guam Museum in the capital city, Hågatña, and the Pacific Historical Park in Asan, in the west. Be sure to indulge in Guam’s fine cuisine, a fusion of Spanish, Filipino and Pacific flavors.
