All about Guam

When to visit

The weather in tropical Guam is reliable enough to make the island a year-round destination—temperatures stubbornly stick around the 81°F (27°C) mark no matter the time of year. Yet there are still two distinct seasons: a dry season from January to May and a rainy season from July to November. To avoid downpours and humidity, visit in the former.

Getting around

If you’re planning to travel around the island, having your own wheels is ideal, but it is possible to get between most villages using Guam Regional Transit Authority (GRTA) buses. If you are sticking to Tumon and Hagåtña, you can get around using the trolley services that depart from all major hotels and shopping centers.

Traveler tips

Chamorro (or Chamoru) culture is experiencing a resurgence on Guam, and the language of the island’s first peoples is celebrated everywhere. You’ll likely hear Chamoru used as you travel around Guam, so take the time to learn a few simple phrases such as håfa adai (hello) or si yu’us ma’åse’ (thank you).
