Northern Mariana Islands

These US governed tropical islands are located just west of the Mariana Trench – famous for being the deepest part of the Earth’s ocean. The islands are volcanic in origin and are lined with limestone terraces and coral reefs. The Mariana Islands are very well developed.  Numerous resorts, golfing greens and beaches abound. For those who want to get away from the glitz and packaged vacations.  Tinian or Rota islands are your best bet. Around the islands, numerous dive sites offer glimpses of WWII relics integrated into the coral ecosystem besides white tip sharks, parrotfish and other aquatic life.

1. Tim's Tip on Saipan Island
Saipan Island, Northern Mariana Islands
If you want to fall in love with Nature you have to travel the Pacific Islands. Saipan has a great airport, fantastic scenery and crystal clear waters for diving. Lots of wreckage left from WWII to consider while you tour the island. Don't miss the blue hole on the far side of the island from the airfield.

2. Tara's Tip on Garapan
Garapan, Northern Mariana Islands
In Garapan it can be a little dangerous to walk the city streets at night. We got chased by a drunk guy who was aggressively asking for money and eyeing our purses.

Saipan Island, Northern Mariana Islands
Saipan is a beautiful island that has a lot to offer. We stayed at the Halfadai hotel and it was not bad. You can book nice day trips but they are usually in Japanese. Bird island and the Last Command Post were highlights for me.

Saipan Island, Northern Mariana Islands
when my ship docked here we got a nice reception from the locals. U know the whole treatment pretty girls in those grass dresses danced for us sailors on the pier. I didnt really go off of the ship at the time because I was saving money for my little planned foray with some of the guys in hong kong. But...I heard rumors of a giant go kart track and casinos...thats all folks
