The Blue Hole is located in the northeast corner of Saipan. It is a natural cave connected to the Pacific Ocean and a cave diving site. The sea water shimmers like a cat's eye blue, and the breathtaking electric blue sea water and the natural stalactite scenery are beautiful. Internal and external environment The blue hole looks like a dolphin with an open mouth, and inside is a huge stalactite cave. There are two natural swimming pools in the blue hole, which are connected to the outer ocean through an undersea channel, and light penetrates into the hole through the water channel from the outer sea , The blue hole pool can reveal a light blue luster, which is quite beautiful. This penetrating electric blue is also the origin of the name of the blue hole. For those experienced deep-sea divers, it will be an unparalleled experience, so it is known as the second largest cave diving destination in the world, after the Blue Hole in Belize. Diving conditions The depth of the Blue Hole can reach up to 47 meters, so only those with an AOW diving certificate can dive deep. However, those who do not have a certificate can conduct experiential snorkeling under the guidance of an instructor. Most of the people diving here are Japanese, and there are some Europeans. Generally, tourists come here for a simple snorkeling except for a look. Because there is no diving license, very few tourists come to deep dive here. If you have a diving license, you can enter the blue hole through the LetsdiveGuam diving club. In addition, there are more than 100 steps paved with small stones to go down from the top to the blue hole. The steps are somewhat notched, steep, and very slippery. When you get to the bottom, you will see a blue sea in the cave pouring into it. Due to the influence of the tide, sometimes the level in the cave is still without waves, and sometimes it is undulating, so you must be very careful whether you are swimming or diving in the cave.Saipan · 12.6km from downtown

The beach is located in the northern part of Saipan. It is named for its shape like a crocodile. If you look at it from a distance, you can see a fierce crocodile lying prone on the Pacific Ocean, fighting against the rough waves. Here you can see the turbulent waves of the Pacific Ocean, or stand on a cake-like reef, and take a classic photo of the waves pouring down the sky. Remember to be careful when walking down the crocodile bay along the railings, otherwise it is easy to fall. In addition, when the waves are big, it is not recommended to take pictures, it is very dangerous, and it is especially easy to be swept away by the sea water.Saipan · 8km from downtown

It is called Taga Beach because it was once the private beach of the Taga royal family who ruled Tinian Island. Taga Beach is located in the southwest corner of Tinian Island. It is the largest beach in Tinian Island. It has a long white sandy beach and not deep water. It is a good choice for swimming and snorkeling.

Stepping on the tide mountain can overlook the entire Saipan and the statue of Jesus on the mountain 360 degrees. Although the mountain is not high, only 473 meters, but on the side of Saipan is the world's deepest Mariana Trench. Going to Tapochao Mountain is usually chartered or self-driving, and then you need to climb the mountain along the stone steps by yourself. Standing on the mountain, you can have a panoramic view of the entire Saipan. To the east is the Pacific Ocean and to the west is the Philippine Sea. Nearby, you can see the warship island in the distant sea, and you can also enjoy the wonders of the Seven Colors Sea. In the distance, you can see the deep blue sea, the Mariana Trench. Turning around, there is a tall statue of Jesus standing guard on the mountain. There is also a historical introduction board during World War II near the fence.Saipan · 4km from downtown

Rad Beach is also known as Ladder Beach, Coral Beach, and local Chinese also call it Running Man Beach. It is a small beach just south of Saipan Airport, with a total length of only about 100 meters. There are many corals here, and the beach has almost no sand. Basically, it is composed of various small coral shells. Therefore, there are fewer tourists and better environmental protection, so the scenery is beautiful. There are many holes on the beach caused by sea erosion, which vary in size. This is not a must-see attraction for tourists, but it is a place for local residents to barbecue and picnic. Local residents use these holes to grill food. Due to the small number of people and the beautiful scenery, it attracts running men to come here to take pictures. The beach where several teams perform hula dance is here.Saipan · 11.7km from downtown

On the second day, I strolled around Saipan and recovered from the lack of sleep yesterday. The glass-like blue water blended with the blue sky and white clouds, plus the lush coconut trees, white sandy beaches and the warships that were parked on the distant horizon for a long time. It was so beautiful that it seemed a little unreal. I was instantly revived.

I don't know why it's called Bird Island. I can't go up there and I didn't see any birds. But the scenery is really beautiful. The sea is so blue and clear. But the wind and waves are very strong here. I can only watch from a distance. It's so beautiful to take pictures.

If you want to take a small submarine to see the underwater world, the Mermaid in Saipan is a very good choice. It can go more than ten meters deep into the seabed. You can only see fish when diving in other places, but here you can also see many relics from World War II.

Tachognya Beach is Tinian's largest beach, boasting long, white sands and shallow waters, making it an ideal spot for swimming and snorkeling. The wondrous underwater world makes many first-time divers eager to get a license and explore the depths. Furthermore, large pelagic fish, sharks, deep-sea cliffs, and numerous World War II wrecks can be found in the waters surrounding the island, making it an ideal spot for divers of all levels. Tachognya Beach, with its soft white sand and crystal-clear blue waters, is a breathtaking sight. Once a privileged beach, ordinary people could not venture there. Now, it is open to all, captivating visitors with its unique beauty, especially those seeking stunning commercials.

This place may have somewhat ruined my wonderful impression of Saipan. When I came to the top of the mountain and looked down, I found that there were modern high-rise buildings being built everywhere, which made me feel a little disappointed.

The most regrettable thing about the last schedule at Leather Beach is that I only took pictures and did not enjoy playing in the water. This place is the most suitable for a day or half-day trip, and it is a beautiful and photogenic hot spot.
