Mid-island casual and funky restaurant that has a cool bar scene and great local seafood specialities. The fresh fish are bought just across the street at the Hagatna Marina from the local fish co-op! This is the "go to" place for local Chamorros when they want to meet at the end of the day.

World class fishing within minutes of leaving the local marinas. You are sure to return with fresh mahi mahi, tuna, wahoo or any of the many other species that swim in Guam ocean waters. Ask me about a half or whole day trip.

Probably the best and most well stocked American grocery style store in Guam. There are a string of Payless Supermarkets around the island but this one is centrally located and easy to get to.

Consejos para la ciudad

Qué empacar

Bring neoprene reef shoes to walk the coral reefs

The reefs are beautiful and full of life however the rocks and volcanic material can be quite sharp. If you forget reef shoes you can buy them at many places around the island.
Cómo moverse

Rent a car, don't take local taxis

Book your car online or give me a call. Rental cars are fairly inexpensive and a must for getting around the island.
Qué empacar

Wear sunscreen!!!!!

This goes without saying but the sun is hot and given that we are near the equator the potential for a bad sunburn if you dont protect yourself is great.

Hafa Adai!

This is a warm Chamorro greeting you will here locals greet each other with often. Similar as to how Hawaiian's use the word "aloha" as a greeting. Give it a try in the restaurants or whenever greeting a local Chamorro (Guam islander).
