Getting Around
Renting a car is the most convenient way to explore Guam, as public transportation is limited. Taxis and ride-sharing services are available in tourist areas like Tumon. The Guam Regional Transit Authority operates buses, but routes are infrequent.
Best Time To Visit
The best time to visit Guam is from January to May, when the weather is dry and temperatures are pleasant. Avoid the rainy season from July to November, which can bring typhoons.
Local Customs
Respect for elders is deeply ingrained in Chamorro culture. When visiting villages or homes, it's polite to remove your shoes. The traditional 'fino' håya' (Chamorro handshake) involves a gentle touch of the back of the hand. Tipping is appreciated but not mandatory, as it's a U.S. territory.
Safety Information
Guam is generally safe, but be cautious of strong ocean currents and jellyfish when swimming. Secure valuables and avoid walking alone at night in unfamiliar areas.
Visa Requirements
U.S. visa policies apply. Visa waivers (ESTA) may be available for eligible travelers under the U.S. Visa Waiver Program.
Health Information
No special vaccinations are required, but ensure routine vaccines are up to date. Tap water is safe to drink. Medical facilities are modern, but serious cases may require evacuation to Hawaii or the mainland U.S.
