Tumon travel guide

Tumon is Guam's hotel district, about 2 miles from the airport, so you can reach the beach and shopping streets on arrival day.

From the airport to Tumon Bay takes 10 to 15 minutes by taxi. Getting around Tumon is handled by the Guam Red Shuttle, at USD 7 per ride or USD 15 for a day pass.

Two Lovers Point is open daily from 9:00 to 19:00, with admission of USD 3. It closes at 19:00, so plan sunset visits for the afternoon.

The Guam Electronic Declaration Form can be completed from 72 hours before arrival. Entry depends on your nationality: eligible travellers use ESTA or, for eligible nationalities staying up to 45 days, the Guam–CNMI electronic travel authorization; admission is decided by the officer on arrival.

Two Lovers Point is in Tumon and opens daily from 9:00 to 19:00. Admission is USD 3. To catch sunset, you need to arrive before closing, so check the time when planning late afternoons.

The Guam Red Shuttle loops through Tumon and the shopping areas and isn't an airport service. It's listed at USD 7 per ride or USD 15 for a day pass. The airport is about 2 miles from Tumon Bay, 10 to 15 minutes by taxi.

Tumon is packed with hotels, so the beach, shopping and dining are within walking distance. For longer stretches, switch to the Red Shuttle or a taxi. Shuttle timetables and route maps can change, so check the official site before boarding. Splitting Tumon into a beach day, a half-day at the cliff and a half-day of shopping keeps travel down.

Based on the Guam Visitors Bureau, Red Shuttle and Two Lovers Point information. Prices may change.

With 2 nights: on day one, come into Tumon from the airport and relax on the beach; on day two, go to Two Lovers Point before sunset. It closes at 19:00, so plan your afternoon first.

With 4 nights: keep the first two days in the same order, ride the Red Shuttle around the shopping areas on day three, and allow plenty of time for the airport on day four.

Plan meals in Tumon around Chamorro barbecue, red rice, kelaguen and coconut candy: barbecue with red rice for dinner and coconut candy as a snack. We don't pick shops or prices here.

All arriving passengers must submit the Guam Electronic Declaration Form, which can be completed from 72 hours before arrival; since 4 February 2025 only the electronic form is accepted.
