Planning a trip to Guam and short on time? That’s not a problem at all! Tumon, the heart of Guam’s tourism, offers some truly wonderful half-day tours which pack quite the punch. So, you can experience the beauty and culture without sacrificing your whole day. I mean, after all, you’ll want time to lounge on the beach, too, right?

1. Discover Guam’s Marine Life at UnderWater World

Okay, so this isn’t exactly a “tour,” but UnderWater World gives you some awesome insight into the marine life of Guam in just a couple of hours. It’s a total win for families, especially. That enormous tunnel which runs under a huge aquarium? That is pretty cool stuff. You get, actually, a closer view of sharks, sea turtles, and tons of different types of fish than you ever could just snorkeling. You get to stay nice and dry too.

Plus, they often have some other shows and exhibits going on, so you can learn a bit more concerning Guam’s ecosystems. This tends to be very convenient, really, as it’s located right in the heart of Tumon. You could easily combine it with some shopping or lunch.

2. Explore Guam’s History at the Pacific War Museum

Guam played rather a vital role during World War II, and visiting the Pacific War Museum might be a respectful way to learn concerning the island’s history. It may only take a few hours, yet it’s packed with artifacts, exhibits, and individual stories which totally bring the past to life. Very impacting, is what it is.

The museum does a fantastic job of telling the story from multiple perspectives. You’ll see displays concerning the Chamorro people, the American soldiers, plus the Japanese forces. Honestly, it’s a somber experience. You walk away with a deep appreciation of what happened on Guam during the war. I feel the museum is, honestly, so informative. That makes it well worth a visit.

3. Relax and Rejuvenate at a Tumon Bay Spa

Need a break from all the sightseeing? What I mean to say is: treat yourself to a half-day at one of Tumon Bay’s swanky spas! You’ll find tons of spas which offer packages lasting just a few hours, enough to get your fill of relaxation. Think soothing massages, revitalizing facials, as well as body treatments which will make you feel like a brand-new person. Actually, is there anything more calming?

Many spas are in really fancy hotels, so, like, you could even use the pool or other amenities afterward. Sounds great, actually! This is the ideal way, truly, to unwind and recharge before, say, heading out for some more Guam adventures.

4. Discover the Beauty of Two Lovers Point

Two Lovers Point (Puntan Dos Amantes) may be a scenic spot with a super interesting legend attached. So, local legend has it that long, long ago two lovers, forbidden to be together, jumped off the cliff into the ocean. Kinda Romeo and Juliet-ish, but in Guam. That might sound pretty dramatic, right?

Very touristy, the views from the top are just stunning. That is to say, you’re getting panoramic vistas of Tumon Bay as well as the Philippine Sea. I find that it tends to be quite crowded, yet you definitely need to visit this at least once for some truly great pictures and that romantic vibe. Some parts there are just unbelievably great!

5. Experience Chamorro Culture at Chamorro Village

Okay, so you need to keep in mind that Chamorro Village might be at its liveliest on Wednesday nights (Chamorro Village Night Market), but that might not be a half-day tour, as such. Even during the daytime, this gives you a nice sampling of Chamorro culture. They offer handmade crafts, local food, and just a generally authentic island vibe. The permanent stores have different times.

Basically, wander through the stalls, sample some local delicacies such as red rice and chicken kelaguen, as well as pick up gifts which might be locally made. I think, for a few hours, it’s an awesome way to support local artisans and learn a bit more concerning Guam’s heritage. Even on slower days, the marketplace might have, too, demonstrations or workshops which are really worth checking out. It will almost always depend when you visit, so it might not be available when you do.
