famous scenic spot
managaha island
The warship island, with a circumference of only 1.5km, is a representative dive site for watching sunken ships and planes. It was named after the wreckage of Japanese warships and fighter planes in the Pacific War. It only takes about 20-30 minutes to go around the island. The island is surrounded by white beaches, which are also formed by the erosion and grinding of corals. The island is covered with thick green tropical plants, and entering the center of the island feels like an isolated small universe. This place seems to be specially prepared for couples. If you want to disappear from the crowd with your lover one day and enjoy the sweet two-person world alone, this island is the most suitable, so the warship island is also called lover island. For honeymoon couples, this is of course an excellent place to brew their feelings. The nearby waters are coral reefs, and colorful tropical fish can be seen swimming in the clear water. The whole island is surrounded by silvery white beaches, and the seawater covered with coral reefs is refracted by sunlight, changing into fantastic colors.
Bird Islet
Located in the north of Saipan, it is made of limestone and named after many kinds of birds. Although the island is small, it provides sufficient living space for birds. There are hundreds of species of birds living on the island. At high tide, Bird Island is like an island at sea. At low tide, it is connected with this island, and the whole island is under the sunshine. Passengers can come here to watch birds at low tide and watch the lovely appearance of seabirds up close. There is also a bird-watching telescope on the island, which can be used for 2 minutes for $0.50. Through the telescope, you can see the birds on the island are happy and comfortable.
Blue hole
Located in the northeast corner of Saipan, it is a natural cave connected with the Pacific Ocean. It was rated as the second cave diving spot in the world by Diver magazine, and divers can often be seen practicing launching here. The geology of the northeast corner is limestone formed by coral reefs. The most amazing thing about the blue cave is that limestone has been eroded and collapsed by seawater for a long time, forming a deep cave with a water depth of 17m, and the deepest part is 47m. The blue cave is connected with the open sea through three waterways, and light enters the cave from the open sea through the waterways. The blue cave pool can reveal a light blue luster and is quite beautiful.
Outside the blue cave looks like a dolphin with its mouth open, and inside it is a huge stalactite cave, which is a natural cave formed by seawater erosion. Because the shadow projection of rocks attracts more underwater creatures, the underwater world of all kinds of colorful tropical fish, turtles, devil fish, dolphins, jellyfish and sea urchins is more exciting than land. There are two natural swimming pools in the Blue Cave, which are connected with the outside ocean through submarine passages. This will be an unparalleled experience for those experienced deep-sea divers.
