Guam Self-Guided Driving Tour
Journey through paradise (and heaps of history) with this self-guided driving tour around the lush jungles and sparkling beaches of the island of Guam!
Guam:
Discover an island where tropical paradise and fascinating World War II history collide. Lounge on picture-perfect beaches, trek through vibrant jungles, and experience unbeatable coastal views—all as you dig into the buried history of Guam.
Watch wartime history come to life around you as you visit vine-covered bunkers, rusted gun emplacements, and learn what made this unassuming island such a contested territory of the Pacific Front. Hear the dramatic tale of the American soldier who escaped the Japanese assault on Guam and hid in the jungle for months to evade capture. Visit the memorial to the final mission of WWII, which launched from this very spot.
Plus, turn back the clock even further to see the fascinating history of Guam and its people. Hear the myths, legends, and struggles of the Chamorro as they weathered occupation after occupation by different nations, never giving up on their fight for independence. Full of culture, history, and eye-poppingly beautiful sights—all with only a fraction of the crowds you’ll find on Hawaii—this is a tour you simply can’t pass up!
