THE MARIANAS

"THREE ISLANDS, THREE TIMES THE FUN"

Hafa Adai! (Hello or Welcome)

Welcome to the Northern Mariana Islands!

Nestled in the heart of the Pacific Ocean, the Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands (CNMI) is a tropical paradise that offers stunning landscapes, rich history, and a vibrant blend of cultures. This U.S. territory consists of 14 beautiful islands, including Saipan, Tinian, and Rota, each offering unique experiences for travelers.

Whether you're exploring pristine beaches, hiking scenic mountains, or immersing yourself in local traditions, the Marianas offer something for everyone. From the bustling capital of Saipan to the quiet tranquility of Rota, CNMI invites visitors to discover its natural beauty, warm hospitality, and rich cultural heritage.

The enticing climate of the Marianas is a tropical marine with very little variation in temperature. Constant sea breezes and an abundance of sunshine provide the Marianas with a most pleasant living environment. White sandy beaches and blossoming orange flame trees contrast the blue Pacific, which surrounds all.

Find seclusion or eco-tourism in Rota’s unspoiled beauty and points of interests, such as the Taga Stone Quarry and the Swimming Hole. Visit the ancient House of Taga on Tinian to experience the immense wonder of the Latter Stones. Saipan is where golf and diving aficionados come from around the world to tee off and explore. Enjoy the different cuisine, entertainment, and shopping, after trying out marine sports at pristine Managaha Island. You might also enjoy participating in one of our local sports events. Or just relax your mind and body at a rejuvenating spa.

Explore the Northern Mariana Islands – your ultimate island getaway awaits!

We look forward to sharing the “Hafa Adai – Tirow Spirit” with you.
