Introduction
After several years of travel restrictions, I finally had the chance to visit Guam again with my family. It was a long-awaited trip, and the beautiful weather made it even more enjoyable.
We booked our flights, hotel, and optional tours individually rather than through a travel agency. Although the preparation took some effort, everything went smoothly thanks to a relaxed schedule.
Day 1: Arrival in Guam & Hotel Check-in
- Arrived in Guam around noon.
- Took a taxi from the airport to our hotel, Dusit Beach Resort Guam (about 15 minutes, $32 including tip).
Day 2: Exciting Marine Activities
Morning: Participated in a marine sports tour.
Parasailing: The ride to the parasailing location was refreshing, and we enjoyed flying together as a family.
Jet Skiing: After a quick lesson, we rode across the ocean—absolutely thrilling!
Other activities: With some extra time, we tried kayaking, stand-up paddleboarding, and snorkeling.
- Afternoon: Relaxed at the hotel’s beach.
- The pool area was crowded, so securing a spot early in the morning is recommended.
- The gentle waves and warm breeze made for a perfect beach day.
Day 3: Beach & Shopping
Morning: Reserved a poolside spot early, enjoyed breakfast, then relaxed at the beach.
Afternoon: Shopping at Kmart for souvenirs and local snacks.
Transportation: Used the Red Shuttle Bus, but the wait times were long. Ride-sharing services like Stroll might be a better option.
Day 4: Swimming with Sea Turtles & More Shopping
- Morning: Joined a sea turtle snorkeling tour.
- Took a boat to a snorkeling spot with a depth of 5 to 40 meters.
- Spent about 40 minutes in the water, spotting sea turtles multiple times.
- Wearing a wetsuit made swimming more comfortable and helped with buoyancy.
Afternoon: Shopping at Micronesia Mall, exploring both brand stores and supermarkets.
５日目：最後のビーチタイム＆帰国
Spent one last morning at the beach and pool.
Packed up and took a Stroll ride to the airport. The ride was smooth, affordable, and easy to book via the app.
