Guam, the closest U.S. territory from Manila, is an all-inclusive one-stop destination for adventure seekers and adrenaline junkies. Whether you wish to soar high into the sky or dive deep into the sea, you’re sure to find something to do in Guam during your stay. In fact, here are 3 blood-pumping activities you may consider on your next visit to the island:
1. Skydiving
Have you ever wondered what it feels like to plummet from the sky at 200km per hour? If you’re one of the few brave souls who would consider jumping off a plane to experience an out-of-body sensation, then Guam has the answer for you.
Sky Dive Guam is a skydiving institution that provides their services to tourists who wish to see the island from above. Their licensed practitioners and tandem instructors ensure that first-time divers are safe and calm throughout the entire process. If you wish to learn more about their services, you may drop by their office at 3404 Neptune Blvd, ACI Hanger 17, Barrigada, Guam 96913; or visit their website at www.skydive-international.com. Starting at $299, you may book an experience of a lifetime.
2. Fly a Plane
Jumping out of a plane doesn’t tickle your fancy? How about flying a plane, instead? Guam is the only country in the Pacific that promotes and readily provides piloting services to non-licensed pilots. Learn how to fly a small plane and prepare for liftoff.
Sky Guam Aviation and Micronesian Aviation Systems are licensed flight schools with professional instructors who will orient and guide you through the basics of flying a plane.

3. Scuba Diving
Guam is widely known for its gorgeous beaches, but one thing that’s sure to impress adventure seekers is the rich bio-diversity and attractions underneath the island’s pristine waters. World-class diving awaits experienced and first-time scuba divers alike. In fact, various programs and levels are available for every type of diver.
With Guam’s historic role in World War II, plenty of shipwrecks surround the island for open water and advanced divers. If you’re a snorkeler, the American Tanker in Apra Harbor is pretty shallow and boasts a flourishing artificial reef. For experienced divers, there is another shipwreck worthy of your admiration; the Japanese freighter Kitsugawa Maru. A diving experience in Guam will not be complete without a visit to the Blue Hole. Most visitors are fond of taking photos with the iconic cavern during their underwater visit. But be careful, the hole drops a couple hundred feet from sea level.
