Traveling to Guam? Land Connected.

Guam is a US island territory in Micronesia — Tumon Bay beaches, Chamorro village life, and Second World War history, all on one compact island. Data from touchdown makes it easy: maps for the Tumon strip, bus and trolley routes, and bookings for dive and island tours, all without hunting for a SIM shop on arrival.

Choose the Plan That Fits Your Trip

  • Fixed data or unlimited: pick from the plan grid above by trip length and data use — fixed-data plans for maps, messaging and light browsing, unlimited plans for heavy video, navigation and hotspot use.
  • Instant delivery: your QR code and installation link are emailed within minutes of checkout. Install before your flight; validity starts on the day you activate.
  • Good to know: your phone must support eSIM (dial *#06# and look for an EID), and your 15-digit IMEI is required at checkout so your eSIM can be provisioned.

Travel Highlights

  • Tumon Bay: the main beach and hotel strip — calm water for swimming, shopping malls, and sunset walks along the bay.
  • Two Lovers Point: the clifftop lookout over Tumon Bay, tied to a Chamorro legend, and one of the island's classic viewpoints.
  • War in the Pacific National Historical Park: beaches, gun emplacements and memorials from the 1944 landings, spread across several sites around the island.
  • Chamorro Village: the Wednesday night market in Hagåtña, with local food stalls, crafts and dance — the best introduction to Chamorro culture.
  • Ritidian Point: the wild northern tip of the island, with a wildlife refuge beach and limestone forest trails.

Getting Around

  • Airport to Tumon: Antonio B. Won Pat International Airport (GUM) is about ten minutes from Tumon; taxis wait outside arrivals and hotels run shuttles.
  • City transport: the Guam Regional Transit Authority (GRTA) runs public buses on fixed routes, mainly serving major villages and tourist areas, but hours are limited. Tourist trolleys serve the Tumon hotels and shopping centres.
  • Ride-hailing — local app only: Uber and Grab are not available in Guam. The local Stroll Guam app books taxi-like rides across the island, and hotel taxis are a reliable fallback.
  • Rental cars: several international and local agencies operate at the airport and in Tumon — a car is the easiest way to reach the island's north and south ends.

Safety and Practical Tips

Guam is generally safe for visitors. The main risks are petty theft from vehicles and at beaches, strong ocean currents at unguarded beaches, and tropical storms — check forecasts in typhoon season and follow local warnings. Keep valuables out of sight in vehicles.

Guam drives on the right, and traffic on the Tumon strip can be slow at peak times. Sun and heat are strong year-round: sunscreen, a hat and water are essential, and afternoon showers are common in the wet season.

Entry and Visa

Visa rules depend on your passport. Guam follows United States entry rules, with a separate visa-waiver arrangement for some nationalities travelling to Guam and the Northern Mariana Islands. Check the latest requirements for your passport before you book, and make sure your passport is valid for at least six months beyond your stay.

Weather and Climate

  • Tropical all year: warm and humid, with daytime temperatures usually around 27°C to 31°C and rain possible in any month.
  • Dry season (January to May): the best time for beaches and diving — drier, with calmer seas and less humidity.
  • Wet and typhoon season (July to November): hotter and wetter, with afternoon downpours and a risk of tropical storms — check forecasts if you travel in these months.
  • What to pack: light, breathable clothes, reef shoes, a compact rain jacket, sunscreen and a dry bag for boat trips.

Money and Payments

  • Currency and cards: US dollars (USD). Cards are widely accepted in hotels, malls, restaurants and car rental agencies; carry some cash for buses and small vendors.
  • WISE and similar travel cards — yes, supported: the Wise card works in Guam wherever Visa or Mastercard is accepted, and a Wise USD balance means you spend dollars without converting each time. Similar multi-currency cards, such as Revolut, work the same way on the Visa/Mastercard network. Check the card app for current ATM limits and fees before you travel, as these change.
  • Cash tips: ATMs are easy to find in Tumon and Hagåtña; always choose to pay in US dollars (local currency) if a terminal or ATM offers to convert to your home currency.
  • Tipping: customary in the US style — around 15–20% in restaurants and a dollar or two per bag for hotel staff.
