Just off to the right of the Philippines, past the Philippine Sea, is the small island of Guam—a U.S. territory with white sandy beaches, breathtaking nature, an eclectic cuisine, and a rich history that continues to be a favorite to visit among Filipinos with valid U.S. visas seeking a quick getaway close to home.

Whether it’s to take in the stunning sights or to fill your suitcases with shopping bags, there’s plenty to see and do in Guam even when you have just three days to spend.

Here’s everything to see, eat, and do in Guam for 72 hours!

72 Hours in Guam: What To See, Eat, and Do

What to See in Guam

Valley of the Latte Adventure Park

Valley of the Latte Adventure Park is an immersive river cruise tour that teaches you about traditional Chamorro life through cultural demonstrations and a walkthrough of historical sites.

Two Lovers Point

Two Lovers Point stands high above a cliff in Tumon Bay, providing one of the best views of the sunset in Guam. This location also features a heart lock wall where you and a partner (or friend!) can add yours to symbolize your everlasting love.

Emerald Valley

Tucked behind the parking lot of a power plant, Emerald Valley is a narrow waterway that stretches out to the Philippine Sea, teeming with fish and coral reefs. Its crystal blue waters make it such a stunning backdrop for photos!

Fort Nuestra Señora de la Soledad

The Fort Nuestra Señora de la Soledad is a fortification in Guam that once protected galleons traveling between Acapulco, Mexico and the Philippines. The fort is now made into a park overlooking a beautiful view of the sea on one side and a lush mountain range on the other.

Guam Museum

Learn more about the history and culture of Guam through interactive galleries and rare artifacts at the Guam Museum.

The Fish Eye Island Cultural Dinner Show

Enjoy some of the most delicious buffet fare you’ll ever have in Guam while watching a spectacular stage performance by hula and fire dancers accompanied by live music at the Fish Eye Island Cultural Dinner Show!

Apra Harbour

For those who are visiting Guam to dive, Apra Harbour is one of the must-see diving spots because it’s the only diving site in the world where shipwrecks from both World War I and World War II physically touch each other.

Where to Eat in Guam

Jeff’s Pirates Cove

Jeff’s Pirates Cove has stood the test of time thanks to its delicious Chamorro food, refreshing cocktails, and a small museum off to the side that teaches you an important piece of Guam history. Don’t leave without trying the Parrot Fish!

Crab Daddy

If it’s seafood boil you’re after, Crab Daddy is the place to be! Our tip: get “The Works” sauce with your seafood boil, and you’ll be in for a treat you won’t forget!

Ruby Tuesday

This American dining restaurant will fill you up with hearty plates, paired well with refreshing drinks and a cozy vibe that will help you unwind after a tiring shopping day at the Guam Premiere Outlets.

Alfredo’s Steakhouse

For a fancy steak dinner, Alfredo’s Steakhouse at Dusit Thani Guam Resort is where you’ll want to go. Savor tender steaks, fresh seafood, and decadent desserts with a glass of wine (or two!)

Tumon Night Market

We highly recommend visiting Guam on a weekend, because Pale San Vitores Road transforms into the Tumon Night Market every Sunday evening! Enjoy grub from local food stalls and shop for souvenirs to take home.

Where to Shop in Guam

If there’s one thing you need to do when in Guam, it’s to shop ’til you drop! There are plenty of places for you to bag great deals from big-name brands and shop for grocery items not normally accessible in the Philippines. Micronesia Mall has the Payless Supermarket and Macy’s, while the Guam Premiere Outlets has Calvin Klein, Steve Madden, Levi’s, Guess, Tommy Hilfiger, and so many more that all offer huge discounts. The Guam Premiere Outlets also has the biggest Ross Dress For Less branch in the country, where you can find the best bargains on clothes, shoes, beauty tools, and home decor.

For groceries and pharmacy goods, you can head to Kmart, a 24-hour destination, or Village of Donki, which is the largest Don Don Donki in the world.

Pro-tip: visit Guam during Thanksgiving to enjoy bigger discounts and special promotions thanks to Black Friday sales!
