Rules in force · 9Bags go from the car to the hotel door
- Oceania ↗Oceania's island states guard their farms and reefs at the border: tick 'yes' on the arrival card for any food, plant, animal product, soil or used outdoor gear, and let the officer decide.
- Oceania ↗Across the tropical South Pacific, cyclones are possible from November to April: choose insurance that covers weather delays and keep one spare night before a long-haul departure.
- Micronesia ↗Micronesia runs on a handful of weekly flights, so one cancellation can cost several days: build slack into every connection between islands.
- Guam ↗US entry rules apply: visitors need a US visa, ESTA under the US Visa Waiver Program, or eligibility for the Guam–CNMI Visa Waiver Program. Check US Customs and Border Protection for your passport; the Guam–CNMI waiver does not allow onward travel to the rest of the US.
- Guam ↗Guam is outside the US customs territory: complete the Guam customs declaration on arrival and declare food, plants and animal products.
- Guam ↗Drive on the right, as in the mainland US; a valid foreign licence is accepted for short visits.
- Tumon and Hagåtña ↗Buses are infrequent and a hire car or a tour is the practical way to the south; book it for the dry months if you can.
- Tumon ↗Bags go from the car to the hotel door; the strip is flat but hot and the crossings are far apart.
- Tumon ↗Plan the south and Hagåtña as one hire-car day: the strip has taxis but the sights beyond it do not.

Know before you go
- The name comes from a Chamorro legend of two lovers who tied their hair together and leapt from the cliff; the point is a sacred-feeling place for many islanders, so keep voices low near the shrine.
- Entry is a small paid fee (2026 estimate US$3–5, check); bring cash for the kiosk.
- The best view is late afternoon; the bay looks flat and washed out at midday.
- Car parks are targets for break-ins: leave nothing in view.
- The gate and kiosk hours change; check on the day.
- Wind on the cliff is strong; bring a light layer for the evening.
Best time of day
Go late afternoon. Plan 30–45 min inside.
