Wedding Cake Mountain
The distinctive tiered silhouette of Mt. Taipingot in Rota is visible shortly after departing Rota International Airport.
Ritidian Point
The northernmost point of Guam, featuring a National Wildlife Refuge with pristine white sands and turquoise waters.
Two Lovers Point
The iconic 378-foot limestone cliff (Puntan Dos Amantes) that drops vertically into the Philippine Sea.
Tumon Bay
Guam's premier tourist district, showcasing a long crescent of white sand, luxury hotels, and vibrant coral reefs from above.
Hagåtña Capital
A clear view of the capital city and the Agana Boat Basin just before the wheels touch down at the airport.
The right side is the definitive choice for this short 20-minute 'puddle jumper' flight. To capture the best photos of Tumon Bay, ensure you have your camera ready within 10 minutes of takeoff, as the descent into Guam happens very quickly after reaching cruising altitude.
Book Hotels in Agana
Pacific Horizon
Unobstructed views of the deep blue Philippine Sea and the transition into the Pacific Ocean as you cross the Rota Channel.
Andersen AFB Coastline
Aerial perspective of the rugged, limestone cliffs along the northeastern tip of Guam, home to the strategic airbase.
Pago Bay
During the final approach, views of the large, reef-fringed bay located on the eastern central side of the island.
Mount Santa Rosa
A view of the highest point in northern Guam, an extinct volcano surrounded by limestone plateaus.
Sit on the left if you are flying during a mid-morning departure to avoid the harsh glare of the sun on the water. This side is also better for spotting the vast reef systems on Guam's eastern windward side during the final descent into GUM.
