If you like to eat, dive and relax, the island of Guam is for you. The people of Guam are notoriously famous for their Fiestas. Especially when it comes to Wednesday afternoons in the Chamorro town of Agana. While enjoying the local cuisine you can attend the dance shows, either Salsa or traditional Chamorro. Grilled chicken, finadene, kelaguen, and red rice are island staples, and while they’re not the healthiest foods to eat, they’re definitely delicious. Everyone is invited. Fresh seafood abounds with the variety of restaurants to choose from.
In addition to partying, Guam trips have options like skydiving, parasailing, scuba diving, snorkeling, shell collecting, deep sea fishing, waterfall hikes, beach combing, or simply enjoying the beautiful Tumon Bay sunsets. where the colors of the sky radiate. colors of an exotic painting.
If you are new to the island, you will need transportation to attend all of these different activities. Public transportation is available, however it is really not reliable. Taxi service is also available, however it is quite expensive for a short trip. Although Guam is only about 200 square miles, bicycling is somewhat dangerous due to the lack of curbs on the roads and local drivers in general are a bit uncaring.
Really, the best option is to rent a car that will take you where you want to go safely and efficiently. The car rental industry in Guam is quite competitive, so you can get pretty good rates, although they are a bit higher than the US. Maybe around an average of $42 a day, depending on the quality. from the car rental company.
Traffic rules are generally the same as the laws in the continental US, as the island of Guam is an unincorporated territory of the US. However, local drivers tend to run yellow lights (even red ones), so be careful at intersections. The highest legal speed limit in Guam is 45 mph, although general traffic drives 5-10 mph faster. The police, while relaxed, generally command respect if a situation begins to spiral out of control.
Also note the roads that are light gray (not paved). These paths were built with coral reefs that are part of the concrete mix and therefore become quite slippery when it rains, almost like ice. If someone speeds up, local drivers sometimes follow the driver and tell them to slow down or just give them dirty looks. Generally speaking, although driving in Guam is an enjoyable experience and not unlike the US, while traversing the island, remember to be safe, respect the land of the local people, and enjoy the beauty of a tropical paradise.
