Managaha Island travel guide

Managaha is a small island in Saipan's Tanapag Lagoon, normally reached by ferry for beach and snorkel time.

The Marianas Visitors Authority recovery update (last updated 26 June 2026) says Managaha remains temporarily closed for cleanup, safety review and regulatory clearance.

We omit ferry and admission prices while it is closed. Country hub: Saipan. On-island base: Garapan.

Checked on 5 November 2026 — re-read MVA before you travel.

Visa and entry requirements for Saipan

Whether you need a visa, how long you can stay and which pre-arrival forms apply all depend on your nationality and the purpose of your trip. Check the official source below, and your own government's travel advice, before you book.

• G-CNMI ETA (U.S. Customs and Border Protection)
• Guam-CNMI Visa Waiver Program (U.S. Department of Homeland Security)

The 26 June 2026 MVA notice keeps Managaha closed to the public until cleanup, safety review and regulatory clearance finish. Earlier 2026 updates said the same after Super Typhoon Sinlaku. Re-open dates can change — check the same page before you buy tickets and again before you fly.

We do not list fares while operations are suspended. After reopening, confirm prices with the ferry operator and MVA. Do not rely on guessed amounts.

Use Garapan — Micro Beach and free American Memorial Park. The Grotto nonresident fee is US$5 per MVA; confirm conditions on site.
