Saipan is the capital of the Commonwealth of the United States of Northern Mariana, located in the western Pacific Ocean between the Philippine Sea to the southwest and the Pacific Ocean to the northeast. Because of its beautiful scenery and crystal clear water and white sandy beaches, it is a popular vacation destination. Saipan is well-known for its underwater Blue Hole and Battleship Island, which are both very clear and ideal for divers, making Saipan an ideal diving destination. Furthermore, Saipan's climate has a small temperature difference, making it suitable for year-round travel. In short, there are many things to do in Saipan.  

1. The Grotto

 The Blue Hole is the most famous and relatively difficult diving site in Saipan, and many people come to Saipan just to experience its charm of the Blue Hole. The Blue Hole is a deep hole formed by limestone eroded and sculpted by seawater over a long period, and when there is refraction with light in, the scenery inside is very spectacular and beautiful. However, diving here requires certain qualifications, without AOW diving certification, you can only snorkel around to experience.

2. Managaha Island

People who have visited Saipan say that not visiting the warship island is the same as not visiting Saipan, so the warship island must have its reasons for visitors. The reason for this is that Battleship Island is very close to the main island and can be reached in about 15 minutes by speedboat or boat. The entire island is also covered in white sand, and the turquoise water is endless, making it a favorite among snorkelers. You can see colorful corals in the water and get up close and personal with the fish.

There are also a variety of water activities available, such as jet skiing, water parachutes, banana boats, and other exciting water sports, which you can try one at a time. If you prefer peace, you can take photographs on the beach, or simply relax and enjoy the scenery.

3. San Juan Beach

San Juan Beach got its name because of its resemblance to a crocodile. At first glance, you can see a ferocious crocodile battling the raging waves on the edge of the Pacific Ocean. Many visitors come to Alligator Head Beach to watch the waves. The raging waves of the Pacific Ocean repeatedly pound the reef, turning it into white foam, which can look and mean a lot, and also allows the mind to hear the sound of the waves.

4. Forbidden Island

Forbidden Island, located southeast of Saipan, is a semi-isolated island. When the tide is high, Forbidden Island is separated from Saipan; when the tide is low, it is joined. The scenery is very natural and pristine. However, there are few amusement activities, and the best way to have fun is to walk on the beach and enjoy the scenery of the sea, pick up shells and corals washed up by the sea, go to the overlook to see the reefs of various shapes, and listen to the roaring waves, which can provide a sense of enlightenment.

5. suicide cliff

Suicide Cliff is located in Saipan's northernmost region. During World War II, when the American army succeeded in beaching the island and the Japanese army failed to defend it, samurai, men, women, and children forced to be "loyal to the emperor" jumped off the 250-meter-high cliff, refusing to become American prisoners of war and leaving a trail of corpses behind them.

The Japanese erected a Kannon Tower statue next to the cliff and a peace monument at the highest point of the cliff to commemorate the Japanese who committed suicide here, to remind people of the tragedy of war, and to call for peace. This area, like Banzai Cliff, now draws one million Japanese tourists each year.

6. Hooray Cliff 

Hooray Cliff is a well-known attraction on Saipan and a relic left behind during the war years. When the American army attacked the Japanese bases on the Marianas in 1944, the Japanese retreated to the island's northern tip. Their refusal to surrender compelled the old and young women and children to walk to the cliff and jump into it, shouting "Banzai." Because of Japanese culture, some Japanese people visit Suicide Cliff every year to visit the memorial, while the cliffs here are also a major feature, and snorkeling is possible at times.
